Panchatantra Storybook

A three-page course in the Panchatantra, built to be lived rather than read once. Read it online: jarvisss007.github.io/panchatantra-storybook, or open index.html in any browser. No build step; every illustration is inline SVG.

Page	What it is
index.html	The five books, one illustrated story each, scene by scene, with the teaching of each book and a thirty-day practice tracker.
stories.html	The library of nested tales, 48 of them, each with its teaching, what it looks like in your life, and the question to ask. Filter by book or theme; pick one for the day.
the-way.html	The deeper teaching: how the text sees the world, what niti means, the five skills and their shadows, the four means and six measures, your life area by area, a fifteen-question audit, and a ninety-day program.

The five books

Book	Story	Teaching
Mitra-bheda	The lion, the bull and the jackal	The one who whispers is more dangerous than the one who roars.
Mitra-samprapti	The crow, the mouse, the tortoise and the deer	Many weak together are stronger than one strong alone.
Kakolukiya	Crows and owls	Know your enemy's nature. A natural foe's peace is a trap.
Labdha-pranasha	The monkey and the crocodile	What is in hand is not traded for what is promised.
Apariksita-karaka	The brahmin and the mongoose	Look before you act.

Daily practice

Five animals, five questions. Keep them where you will see them each morning.

• Jackal. Who gains if I believe this?
• Crow and mouse. Who has a strength I lack, and have I kept that friendship?
• Owl. Is this sudden friend a natural rival?
• Monkey. Am I trading what I have for a promise?
• Mongoose. Have I seen it, or do I only feel it?

At night, one line: which animal showed up today, and did I act like the hero or the fool?

Ninety days

1. See. One story a day, retold aloud. Log the animal each night.
2. Act. One deliberate application per week, per book.
3. Teach. Tell the stories to someone. You own only what you can give away.

Progress, audit answers and the daily log stay in the browser you use; nothing is sent anywhere.
