THE SEED
A curious mother set out on a quest for Sri Vaishnava tradition related stories and books for her then-toddler boys. Unable to find suitable contents, she decided to develop her own book. A humble initiative with a simple goal to narrate stories for children, has gloriously manifested into a cultural organization.
THE ROOTS
Vaishnavism is one of the foremost philosophies under Hinduism, widely propogated by Swami Ramanujacharya.
A true Vaishnavite is said to be one who is full of empathy towards others and follows the path of truthfulness, peace and is free of vices. A Sri Vaishnava understands his cause of birth to serve Lord Narayana & His creations with purest thoughts and actions.
THE BUD
Srishti Tales is a cultural portal for children imparting the knowledge of Vaishnavism through creative and joyful learning. Our collective initiatives include publication of illustrated books, family board games, joyful workshops, engaging classes and e-magazine.
Through our healthy blend of storytelling, songs, drama, art & activities, children experience our culture and tradition in the best way they can comprehend.
Meet Our Team
Team Srishti Tales is a collective superpower of a proactive and talented group of like-minded individuals. Like the squirrels of Ramayana, we come together to serve our Sampradayam, and to pass on the glory of Santana Dharma to the next generation.
Pappan
Anchor
Sri Padmanabhaswamy is the brain and driving force of SRISHTI. Pappan, as we call him, is the creator of all our thoughts and the resulting actions.
He guides us through all our projects and thus the name SRISHTI – which means “creation” in Sanskrit. We believe that all of our projects are manifestations of his Sankalpam or divine will. SRISHTI will remain a tiny drop in His Ocean.
Sreevidhya Ramanujam
Founder
SRISHTI TALES is the brainchild of Sreevidhya Ramanujam who is a special needs educator and a Waldorf parent. She lives with her family in Hyderabad, India.
An ardent seeker of knowledge, she believes that SRISHTI is the path to her spiritual journey towards a Vaishnavite way of living. A polyglot and handicraft maker, Sreevidhya is also passionate about yoga, early learning, gentle parenting, zero waste living and minimalism.
Every project at Srishti Tales is led by a team of sevaks (volunteers) who come together with creative and inspiring ideas to bring out fresh, fruitful contents on Vaishnava tradition and Sanatana Dharmic values.
