Amar Chitra Katha – Jataka Tales The Giant And The Dwarf

Jataka Tales The Giant and the Dwarf The Jataka tales, on which the present title is based, is a collection of 550 stories included in the Pali canon. They are tales in which the life of the Bodhisattva in his previous births is narrated. The Bodhisattva is one, who by performing virtuous, kind and intelligent acts, aspires to become a Buddha (enlightened one). The Bodhisattva came in many forms man, monkey, deer, elephant, lion. Whatever his mortal body, he spreads the message of justice and wisdom, tempered with compassion. This wisdom, the wisdom of right thinking and right living, is preserved in the Jataka stories. The Jataka tales are based on folklore, legends and balleds of ancient India. We cannot assign a definite date to the Jataka stories. Taking into account archaeological and literary evidence, it seems likely that they were compiled in the period between 3rd century BC and 5th century AD. The Jataka tales provide invaluable information about ancient Indian civilisation, culture and philosophy. This Amar Chitra Katha not only narrates a tale of wit versus might and brain versus brawn, but also provides a lesson in humility and gratitude.
