About this listen

 Jalal-ud-din-Mohammad Akbar, also known as Akbar, was one of the most famous Mughal kings and he reigned India during the 16th century.

Akbar, unlike other Mughal emperors, was keen to have talented people in his court irrespective of their religion. He had nine gems in his court and amongst them, Birbal was widely considered the most intelligent. A Brahmin by birth, Birbal’s original name was Mahesh Das and he met Akbar first time when he helped Akbar and his courtiers find the way back to their kingdom after having lost their way while on a hunting trip.

Akbar and Birbal’s friendship lasted for 30 years before Birbal became a casualty of a war with North West tribes and it is said that Akbar went into a deep mourning for 2 days on hearing this and didn’t eat any food. Numerous Akbar Birbal stories from this time have been passed on from one generation to another in which Akbar will test Birbal’s skills by throwing him into tricky situations and Birbal had to use his wit to get out of them.

Chimes brings a collection of such bedtime stories for kids to enjoy. Each audio story while having a touch of fun also has a strong moral lesson for children.

  • Realizing Wrong Habit (गलत आदत का एहसास)

    Realizing Wrong Habit (गलत आदत का एहसास)
    Jul 4 2020
    Akbar was quite disturbed and tensed about his son’s bad habit of sucking his own thumb. He tried a lot to cure this habit, but nothing worked. So he summoned a saint in his courtroom for help. After listening to the problem, the saint told that he would come after a few days with a solution and left.

    This behavior of the saint made Akbar angry but after few days when the saint came back, he simply explained the boy about the consequences of his bad habit and the boy promised never to do it again. Angry Akbar and other courtiers decided to punish the saint for his past behavior but like always Birbal explained the bigger lesson in it.

  • Life Extending Tree (उम्र बढ़ाने वाला वृक्ष)

    Life Extending Tree (उम्र बढ़ाने वाला वृक्ष)
    Jun 6 2020
    A king of Turkistan was overly concerned about his growing age and came to know about a life-extending tree in India. He sent a letter to Akbar where he requested him to share some leaves of the tree with his courtiers for him.

    Akbar on consulting with Birbal, decided to capture all the soldiers of Turkistan in an unoccupied mansion and informed them that he can only provide the leaves when few of the bricks of the mansion break. The tensed soldier stayed there for a few days and prayed to god day and night until an earthquake struck the kingdom. The wall of the prison where they were captured fell down and finally the soldiers were released as promised.

    Akbar then carefully explained the meaning of life to them and set them away to return back to their homes.

  • What God Does (ईश्वर जो करता है)

    What God Does (ईश्वर जो करता है)
    May 1 2020
    Birbal was a true believer in God and always maintained that there is always a possible reason behind every decision of God. Be it good or bad, everything God does is for our own good. Once a courtier explained his misery of how he lost a finger and questioned Birbal whether he still holds onto the core belief of God being so great.

    With Birbal’s same reply “Whatever happens, typically happens for a reason”, the courtier becomes angry. Three months passed by and one fine day, the courtier got trapped by a group of tribal people in the forest. It was the same lost finger that saved him from the tribesmen on that miserable day.
