He showed some of the same characters as there in your picture and some of those similar stories. Very interesting!

Coincidentally I busted out my old Amar Chitra Kata comic books for my son last week. I read a couple of tales (Vritra & Indra, Ganesha) and had to do some on-the-fly editing because I felt inherently uncomfortable with the angle that the Devas are Good and the Asuras are Bad. Or the blatant sexism in quite a few of the stories. I didn't, however, gloss over those issues but pointed out the inconsistencies - the Devas aren't always good and maybe the Asuras have reason to be angry. Or that some people think that women and men are not equal, but watch how Durga proves them wrong :-) Hey - I remember that story!

Although its a little bit too focused on school kids for my taste, it really helped solidify the "parents as the center of the universe" concept in our lives. I also think it relates to your story quite a bit. Have you read “Hold On To Your Kids”, by Neufeld, yet?
