Join us on a tender journey into ancient Indian myth with Ganesha and the Cat, a short, heartwarming bedtime story that teaches children the true meaning of empathy and non-harm. When young Ganesha playfully chases a cat through the forest, he unwittingly causes it real pain—only to discover an astonishing truth: the cat was none other than his mother, Parvati, in disguise. This magical twist reveals that all life is connected, and that when we harm another, we harm something dear to us too. Through Ganesha’s deep regret, sincere apology, and heartfelt vow to never hurt again, little listeners learn that kindness, forgiveness, and keeping our promises truly nurture a loving heart.
