OverviewSage, Narada, advises her to invoke Shiva's name - Om Namah Shivaya - over and over again as a mantra. So in the heat of the sun, in the driving rain and up to her neck in snow, Pervati sits and repeats her beloved's name until the focussed power of her intent opens his heart and persuades him to ask for her hand in marriage. Parvati's timeless story teaches children that with enough love and perseverance even the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Accompanied by rich, colour illustrations prepared according to the traditional Hindu canon, How Parvati Won The Heart Of Shiva will transport children to a magical world filled with ancient wisdom.
