Now in Hindi Tales of the Nine Planets Navagraha Purana
chronicles in fascinating detail the birth, life and glory of the Nine Planets,
the powerful astral deities who are the ultimate arbiters of man’s destiny.
This compelling narrative paints a delightfully intimate portrait of the
Navagrahas. Surya subdues his raging heat to please his beloved Samjna. Chandra
lusts after his guru’s wife and is cursed to wane each month. Kuja emerges from
a drop of perspiration on Shiva’s brow. Budha marries Ila, who is his wife for
one month and a prince in the next. Brhaspati forgives his wife’s adultery and
curses an amorous apsara to be born as a monkey. Usana becomes Sukra when he is
swallowed by a furious Shiva. Sanaischara requests the Trimurti to ensure he inspires
fear in all living beings. Rahu and Ketu wreak their vengeance on Surya and
Chandra by swallowing them. In an irresistible medley of drama, romance, humour
and devotion, Navagraha Purana entertains and informs as it asserts that no one
is exempt from the implacable influence of the Nine Planets. V.S. Rao is a
celebrated, multifaceted Telugu author, playwright, translator and
scriptwriter. Mr. Rao has 84 titles to his credit, including short stories,
novels, children’s books and plays. His writing spans an astounding variety of
genres, from crime and detective fiction to thrillers, drama, mythology,

writing, Mr. Rao passionately highlights women’s issues. He is the recipient of
numerous literary honours and awards.
