Story Time with Asha Teacher - Malayalam Stories

Once upon a time lived two brothers—
one drowned in wealth, the other trapped in poverty.
When the poor brother goes to his rich sibling for help, he is offered not kindness, but humiliation. Given a loaf of bread and invited to a grand birthday feast, he and his family are ignored and mocked among glittering guests.
As the night ends, the poor man sings a humble song…
and suddenly, another voice joins him.
Standing beside him is a mysterious elf, a spirit who claims to follow the poor wherever they go.
What begins as companionship soon turns into ruin.
The elf demands wine, taverns, and endless drinking—forcing the man to sell his coat, his plough, his sleigh, even his wife’s only dress. Poverty deepens until nothing is left.
But deep in the forest, fate turns cruelly clever.
The elf reveals a pit filled with unimaginable treasure…
and the poor man must choose between loyalty and survival.
A story of greed, cleverness, revenge, and poetic justice, this folktale asks:
Is poverty more dangerous than wealth—or is envy the real curse?

This episode tells the remarkable story of Raja Bhoja of Malwa, one of India’s most celebrated rulers—renowned not only for his power, but for his wisdom, generosity, and love for learning.
Born to the aged king Sindhula at a time when the throne itself stood on uncertain ground, Bhoja’s life began under the shadow of loss. When he was still a child, the kingdom passed into the hands of his uncle Munja, a capable ruler whose heart slowly turned dark with fear and envy.
What followed was a tale of betrayal, repentance, survival, and destiny.
Saved from death by fate itself, the child who was meant to be erased rose to become a legendary king—one who filled his court with scholars, poets, and thinkers, including the famous Kalidasa of Bhoja’s time, whose wit and wisdom shaped many unforgettable tales.
This podcast explores the journey of Raja Bhoja, the politics of power, the turning of conscience, and the golden age of learning that blossomed under his reign—through a collection of fascinating stories that still echo through Indian folklore.

Two boys once studied together in a gurukula—
one born to rule, the other born to judge.
They were friends, equals in learning and play.
But a childish game of hide-and-seek turned into a dangerous vow—
a promise that would one day test justice itself.
Years later, the prince becomes King Vidyut, and his friend Yamadanda is destined to be the court’s lawkeeper. Fearing an impossible oath made in childhood, Yamadanda flees his homeland. But destiny follows where fear runs.
Disguises are worn. Crimes are committed.
A thief walks free while an innocent judge stands condemned.
As a gallows waits and truth trembles on the edge, one question remains:
Can justice survive when power itself becomes the criminal?
This gripping folktale explores friendship versus duty, law versus loyalty, and the sharp line between justice and authority—where wit, wisdom, and truth decide the final verdict.

Once, they were inseparable—
a prince and a shepherd, bound not by blood, but by friendship.
They played, laughed, and dreamed together… until destiny pulled them apart.
Years later, the prince returned—not as a boy, but as a king.
Yet power has a strange way of erasing promises.
When the shepherd finally comes to meet his childhood friend, carrying flowers and hope, he is driven away by palace guards. That single act of neglect sets into motion a chain of mysterious events: a strange illness, a queen’s fall from grace, deception within palace walls, and a kingdom thrown into silent despair.
What curse strikes a king who forgets his roots?
Who truly holds the power to heal him—physicians, royalty, or a humble shepherd?
This story unfolds as a powerful folktale about friendship, pride, gratitude, and justice, reminding us that no crown is greater than a promise kept.
