Book V Rash Deeds Story 7: The Day-dreaming Brahmin

 

This video is an excerpt from a live performance of A Story from the Panchatantra, one story from a full program of Children's Stories from India, written and performed by Zaraawar Mistry, with live music by Greg Herriges. This recording was made at the Student Creativity Festival in Minneapolis in 2011.

In the Children's Stories from India program, Zaraawar Mistry performs stories illustrating the type of stories he heard during his childhood in India, such as stories from Hindu mythology and folktales from the Panchatantra. Interwoven into the cultural aspects of the storytelling are a series of questions and clever riddles that encourage children to learn about geography, history, culture and creative puzzle solving. Greg Herriges provides live musical accompaniment on the guitar, bouzouki (Greek lute) and zither.
