Who is AGII?

Association of Grandparents of Indian Immigrants (AGII), a registered nonprofit

organization, is dedicated to the production of audiovisual materials for the

families of Indian Immigrants. Carefully selected stories, depicting India’s

glorious past, are narrated in English with music and sound effects. This

brings to life, using modern multimedia techniques, the still pictures of the

famous Amar Chitra Katha series, yet preserving the educational values of our

productions. We have nearly 200 stories captured in 40 DVDs (each of 100

minutes duration). VHS tapes are now out of circulation, and are only available

by special request.

The association (AGII) bears all production cost and subsidizes the cost of

reproduction and mailing. The cost of the DVD is $8.00 each, $15.00 for two

DVDs in a special casing, or $6.00 each when the entire set is ordered, which

comes in a special DVD holding case. We cover all mailing charges within USA.

Payments can be made through credit card (Visa, Master Card, Discover) or by

check. For security reasons, credit card information (type, number and

expiration date), along with your telephone number and mailing address, should

be communicated by phone and can be left in the voice mail (610-965-0525). Make

your check payable to AGII and mail it to us (AGII, 3111 Elizabeth Lane,

Macungie, PA 18062).

We also have Talking Books (audio CDs), ideal for playing in cars. These are $6 for two.

..Story of Aruni

This story is taken from Mahabharata that illustrates the special relationship

that ought to exist between the teacher (guru) and disciple (shishya).

Aruni of Panchala was a dedicated student of the ancient sage Dhoumya. In the

days of yore, a student had to stay with the teacher and help in the teacher’s

daily chores in order to receive the knowledge he sought. It was a day of cold

winter. Aruni was carrying the firewood he had collected for the sage's

household. As he was passing by a field, which belonged to the sage, he noticed

a breach in the embankment that was holding water in his teacher's field. He

realized that the water would seep away and the field’s crops would die with no

water.
