Events with Kirin Narayan, University of Wisconsin: storyteller, fiction writer, and anthropologist

Kirin Narayan, folklorist, author and storyteller, will share tales of gods, goddesses, and humans who remind us of inner wealth. Enjoy the story of the man who invents the penance of eating nothing but sweets, and is granted three wishes thanks to kind-hearted Goddess Parvati; the religious storyteller who only accepts money earned by honest work, and finds it hard to fill his belly; and more. Fill your own belly with a luscious mango lassi while you listen to these tales from India.
