Storytelling is the spine of our culture. Our grandparents pass down their wisdom through stories. Our Gurus have long used them to elevate consciousness. Even physics finds expression in our grand epics and Puranas, where profound truths are personified in beautiful stories.

In this episode, meet Shobha Viswanath, founder of Karadi Tales, and hear how she continues this tradition in a modern context. Since 1996, Karadi Tales has created picture books and audiobooks that bring these timeless stories to life, captivating audiences across generations and backgrounds.
This episode delves into the power of storytelling, with Shobha ji offering lesser-known insights into its role in modern parenting — especially within the Indian diaspora.
