2. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
•Panchatantra tales are renowned for its efficiency and
effectiveness of practicing Management.
•Each story gives you a practical guide to face the world as it
is. Tantra means Strategy or method to be applied in a given
situation.
•There are 5 Tantras or 5 Strategies in all which you need to
master. That is why it is called PANCHATANTRA.
•To become successful you can not afford to miss analyzing
these stories.
•The stories may be considered similar to Statements of law
which are open for interpretations. It is up to any one to
interpret and correlate a real life situation with the
Panchatantra stories.

3. 1.The Brahmin and his dream:
 
Remember the story of the Brahmin?? Who
begged for a living, who dreamt that he will
sell the rice, buy goats, then have herds of
cows….and would become richer than ever
before?
And in the sleep, he hit the pot in which he
stored the rice and alas…..

4. Moral :
Set realistic goals.
•If you want to achieve the goals, work hard for
them rather than building castles in the air and
living in the same.
•If you want to get through the exam or get
noticed at work, study hard, sweat yourself out.
•Push yourself to your extremes. Give your best.

2 . The Blue Jackal:
                             
So there was this blue jackal, which fell into a
tub of dye and made advantage of the situation
and fooled every animal in the jungle.
But one day, unable to control, he howled in
front of all the animals and they all killed him.

6.  
Moral:
  Be  yourself.
You can fool others about your appearance,
your qualifications, your knowledge, and your
possessions.
But it is not possible to do that in the long run.
So it is always better to be the best you rather
than a better some one else.

7. 3. The Brahmin and the goat:
 
The Brahmin was cheated by three cunning
fellows who made him believe that he was
carrying a donkey, dead calf and dog instead
of a goat. But did that transform the goat?
Nope, but the Brahmin deserted the goat and
ran away whereas the three fellows relished
their meal.

8. Moral:                       
Believe in yourself.
Let other Tom, Dick and Harry say anything they
want to say. You should have firm belief in your
ideas and values.
You should know the value of your dream and have
conviction about the fact that what others say
doesn’t affect the achievement of your goals.
Don’t succumb to peer pressure.

9. 4. The Monkey and the crocodile:
 
In this story, the crocodile revealed his
intentions to the monkey after reaching the
midst of the river.
But monkey managed to save his life!! He
doesn’t know how to swim, his friend broke
his trust, and he had no other option. Still the
crocodile was left ashamed and the monkey
reached the tree. How?? He didn’t panic.

10. Moral:
Don’t panic.
It doesn’t matter how worse the situation is.
What matters most is the way you approach
the situation and how you find the most
feasible solution to it.

11. The story goes as follows:
A goat with its kid was grazing in the jungle when
they came near a Lion's cave. The kid out of
curiosity wanted to go inside the cave and see how a
Lion's cave looks like. Even though the goat rejected
the proposal, she had to agree due to the kids
obstinate pleadings.
Before they could come out, they saw the lion
approaching towards the cave and both trembled at
the prospect of going to become easy prey to it. The
quick witted goat thought of a smart plan. It
modulated its voice and said aloud, "Kid! today, we
shall have a Lion for Lunch".

12. Hearing the coarse and booming voice, the lion
got frightened and took to its heels. The lion was
stopped by a fox on the way and out of curiosity,
asked the reason for the lion's flight. After
hearing the lion, the fox understood what had
happened and asked the lion to return back with
it. However, the lion would have none of it.
So the fox told the lion, "If you are still
frightened, why don't you tie our tails so that we
shall go together and see for ourselves?". To this
the lion agreed and they tied their tails and
started back for the cave. 

13. Now it was for the goats to be doubly frightened.
Still, hiding inside the cave, the mother goat gave
out a shrill cry and shouted, " Well, Well, Our
loyal friend fox has brought back our prey - the
Lion" Hearing it, the lion, now suspicious of the
motive of the fox started running far as fast as its
legs could carry it.
The fox, not being able to keep up with the
speed of the lion, got pulled over stones and
bushes and died. The goat and its kid went home
safely and had a hearty laugh.

14. Let us take a deeper look and analyze the characters.
First let us take the lion:
•It is the king of the forest. The cave is its own home.
Still hearing a strange voice, it got frightened.
•It did not have trust in its own might. It was not familiar
with its own territory. Had the Lion ventured into the
cave, the story would have taken a different twist. 
•So, the moral is: Realize your own strengths first and act
accordingly instead of panicking when faced with
unknown situations.

15. Next, let us take the fox:
•It had no business in trying to advise the Lion.
Probably it was the greed of a sumptuous meal
(After the Lion's hunt) that made it advise the
lion.
•By tying its tail to that of the lion, it left for itself
little or no chance of escape and due to that, it
met with a horrible death.
•So, the moral is: Do not poke your nose into
matters that don't really concern you especially
when dealing with the high and mighty.

16. Third, Take the goat and the kid:
•They knew that it was the lion's cave. They knew the
danger that was present. When they entered the cave,
if the lion had been there, they would have become
easy prey. It was sheer luck that the cave was empty.
•They would not have had a chance even if the Lion
cubs had been around. Knowing that danger was
around when they entered the lion's cave, they should
at least have thought of and made an escape plan
before venturing inside.
•It was dumb luck and sheer presence of mind that they
managed to escape.

17. So, the moral is:

•Know your path before you tread.
•Have an alternate plan.
•Be quick witted and act with presence of
mind.
•When faced with danger, do not panic.
And so, we have more than five or six morals
to learn from this very simple story.
