A testimonial from one of our customers
Priceless!
By now Rukmini knows most of these shlokas by heart. The other day she surprised some guests when she insisted everyone should recite “Brahmaarpanam…” before we start eating. Priceless!

And, Devi, among other things, orders her amma and appa around till they bend to her whims, while throwing in a smile or two every now and then.
We're flattered!
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” said Oscar Wilde.
We'd just like to say that when you buy The Little Shloka Book ™ from this website, you're buying the original, not a knockoff from one of our many admirers.
