"Nurturing young minds through culture, stories, and joyful learning."
THE SEED 🌱
Srishti Tales began with a mother’s heartfelt wish—to gift her little boys stories that carried the wisdom of the Sri Vaishnava tradition. When she could not find books that were both meaningful and child-friendly, she decided to create them herself. What started as simple bedtime storytelling soon blossomed into a cultural movement—nurturing young minds with devotion, empathy, and joy.
The Roots
Our work is grounded in the timeless philosophy of Sri Vaishnavism, lovingly imparted by Swami Ramanujacharya. More than a tradition, it is a way of life—rooted in compassion, truth, devotion, and service. A true Vaishnavite sees every moment as service to Lord Narayana and His creations, cultivating kindness and purity in thought and action. These values form the roots of all that we do.
The Bud
Today, Srishti Tales is a vibrant cultural space for children and families. Through illustrated storybooks, family board games, joyful workshops, interactive classes, and our e-magazine, we bring heritage alive in ways children can delight in.
With storytelling, songs, drama, art, and play, we make tradition an experience of wonder—helping children form a lifelong connection with their culture.

"Like the little squirrels of the Ramayana who carried pebbles to help build the Rama Setu, Team Srishti Tales is a collective of passionate, like-minded individuals working with devotion and creativity."
Pappan
The Creator
At the heart of our journey is Pappan—Sri Padmanabhaswamy, our divine guide and inspiration. He is the creator of all our thoughts and actions, the reason behind our name Srishti—which means “creation.”
Every project we take up is but a tiny drop in His ocean, a humble manifestation of His sankalpam (divine will).
Sreevidhya Ramanujam
Founder
Sreevidhya Ramanujam, the founder of Srishti Tales, is passionate about serving children and passing the Sri Vaishnava culture to the next generation. For her, Srishti is not just an initiative but part of her own spiritual journey toward living the Vaishnavite way.
A seeker of knowledge and a polyglot, she also finds joy in yoga, gentle parenting, early learning, handicrafts, zero-waste living, and minimalism. She lives with her family in Hyderabad, India, carrying forward her dream of making culture a living, joyful experience for every child.
ANANTHASHREE FOUNDATION
In our journey of growth, Srishti Tales has now become a part of Ananthashree Foundation—a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and passing on the treasures of the Sri Vaishnava sampradaya to the next generation.
Over the past few years, Srishti Tales has expanded its reach into various areas—publishing illustrated books and audio stories, conducting workshops and classes for children, and curating our very own e-magazine. With the foundation in place, the benefits of these efforts will now be channelled towards many more dharmic services.
“Anantha” in Sanskrit means eternal, infinite. We seek the infinite grace and mercy of Thayar Shree in this path of service and the blessings of our Guru Parampara, with Swami Ramanujacharya—an incarnation of Adisesha, or Ananthan—as our guiding light. We hold the name Anantha in high regard, as it is the name of our beloved deity, Sri Anantha Padmanabhaswamy, to whom we offer daily prayers.
This journey is made even more meaningful through the satsang we are blessed to share with bhAgavathas and through the tireless efforts of Team Srishti Tales, who go the extra mile in service. Together, we envision nurturing countless young minds in the fold of our sampradaya.
