The Story of the Mouse Maiden
Once upon a time, by the tumultuous waters of the sacred Ganges, there rose a serene hermitage veiled by the whispers of the forest and the songs of the river. Here, sages versed in ancient rituals lived, consuming nothing but nature’s purest offerings and robing themselves in the barks of generous trees.
At the heart of this tranquil abode lived Yagnavalkya, the hermitage leader, a sage of immense wisdom and compassion. One unassuming day, while he bathed in the Ganges’ sacred embrace, destiny descended from the skies in the form of a tiny female baby mouse, dropped by a flustered hawk.
