This podcast presents the five chapters from my recently published book “Mindful Stories.”

These are about five stages of grief - Denial, Anger, Depression, Bargaining, and Acceptance.

I have used The Great Indian Epic - The Ramayana as a backdrop to weave a fictional story around these five stages.

The protagonist is Sita, the queen of Ayodhya, abducted by a demon Ravana to his kingdom Lanka. She was later freed by her husband, King Rama, by killing the demon. Her story begins when she is questioned about her faithfulness towards her husband during her stay in Lanka.

Participate in Sita’s journey as she passes through all five stages.

Thank you and enjoy the podcast.
