do what I love and love what I do.
Hi,
I am
Bhakti
When I was a little girl growing up in New Delhi in the late 1970s, I would come home from school, drop my bag, and spend hours listening to stories—magical tales of gods, goddesses, warriors, and demons. Narrated by Bhagwan, my nanny (whose name aptly means ‘God’), a gifted storyteller who made the stories come alive. Little did I know then that those storytelling sessions would plant the seeds that, years later, would grow into my life’s passion.
Fast forward a few decades, and I found myself on the other side of the storytelling circle—this time as a mother.
A few decades later, I found myself on the other side of the storytelling circle, this time as a mother. In 2010, I was looking for a children’s book on Holi, the festival of colours, to read to my two toddlers, eager to share with them the festivals I grew up celebrating and the stories I grew up hearing.
When I couldn’t find anything I liked, I decided to create one. I set up my own publishing house, Anjana Publishing (named after ‘Anjana’, the mother of my favourite god, Hanuman) and learned how to publish and distribute the books myself. So I made my leap from banking to storyboards, and I haven’t looked back since then. That search evolved into the Amma series, which now comprises 22 titles and has travelled across continents. It is available in bookstores in India, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US, and is also on Amazon.

Amma Tell Me
Amma Tell Me” is a series of children’s books that brings Indian mythology and festivals to life through playful rhyme and vibrant illustrations. What started as bedtime stories for my boys has grown into sixteen books & counting — from the festival of Holi & Diwali to Krishna and Ganesha. Through these tales, I hope that young readers and parents together discover the magic, meaning, and joy behind our traditions.
I love this book and I was thrilled that there was a chant Ganesha included in the front! What a brilliant way to start telling the story! My only complaint is the graphic pictures (the blood splatters in particular) are a bit frightening to some of my friend's children, but it really is the nature of the story so I'm certainly not dissatisfied. I hope Bhakti Mathur continues to create such beautiful books, sharing Hinduism's wealth of stories and history with the world.
Amazing book and very informative. My 3 year old daughter love to hear ganesha's story.
This series of books is a beautifully illustrated version of Hindu gods and goddesses exploits. It tells the stories via a grandmother sharing with her grandchildren these vivid stories. Also has a book for each of major Hindu holidays. Quite lovely boxed set.
My kids love this book. They love the illustrations as well.
