If Sage Narada Was A Blogger: Srimad Bhagvatam Retold by Bangalorean Saravan Kumar
Oct 11th, 2005 by Ashok
Discovered this very nice blog. No, it’s not by Sage Narada, but if the great voluble seer was around today, perhaps this is what his blog might have been like!
It’s a blog dedicated to retelling the stories of Srimad Bhagvatam, which, as you probably know already, was a minor collection of mythological tales from the ancient puranas, collected, edited, and compiled by the author of the Mahabharata, Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, better known as Ved Vyasa.
It’s been retold several times over the ages, in several languages. In English, though, it still cries out for a good retelling, one that captures the multitude of its tales with all their exciting, adventurous aspects, as well as its spiritual and metaphysical teachings.
Until a really good English-language printed edition comes along, I’d say this blog does pretty well.
I’ve bookmarked it and intend to return to it regularly to read along as blogger Saravan Kumar continues his epic labour of love.
According to the blog, he’s a 25-year from Bangalore. An IT Professional? It doesn’t say, but probably!
In any case, he’s doing a great job with this simple, clean, unpretentious retelling of a great collection of ancient Vedic tales. Keep it up, Shri Saravanji! Well done.

And don’t forget to say “Nar-a-yan-a, Nar-a-yan-a!”
