About the Author
Dr. V. Gouri Suresh is at present working as a Reader in Botany at Jamshedpur Womens college in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand State, India. She is also Coordinator of the B.Sc. (Environment and Water Management), a three year honours degree course conducted in the college.
She had her schooling and college education in Kerala. A few years after completing M.Sc in Botany from Calicut University in 1971, she joined Jamshedpur Womens College as a lecturer in 1975. Since then, she has been serving this institution. In 1993, she obtained her doctorate from Ranchi University. A keen environmentalist, she believes in peoples participation at all levels for solving the multifarious problems facing the world today.
She grew up listening to stories from the epics and the puraanaas from her parents and grand parents. These were etched permanently in her mind. This must have been the reason for her love of ancient Indian classics in later years.
Dr. Gouri Suresh has brought out in this book stories from the Bhaagavath Puraana for the benefit of all, especially children. The style is as if she is addressing the readers directly. She has also given her own explanations and opinions at certain points in the narrative. These may provide some insights into the places, characters, customs, incidents etc. described in the book.
