“THMC is dedicated to foster entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and literary support. Through this initiative, we have actively promoted an Amazon best-Selling author of our community and spread the message of ancient sacred narratives written in the book. Such initiatives are selected and funded through our donor programs at THMC,” said Mukesh Kavalani, President of THMC. This initiative aims to foster entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and literary support. The books will be distributed free of charge among the members of THMC, reflecting the organization's commitment to making a positive impact on society while upholding traditional values.

Established in the early 1940s, THMC is Bahrain's oldest and leading entrepreneurial organization. Its primary goal is of strengthening the community and providing a platform for businessmen to address their challenges.

Kiran Java’s book titled, ‘The Cat Who Scared Krishna and other tales’, published in February of this year, is a captivating collection of 21 sacred stories for children and adults alike. Set in medieval India, the book introduces readers to intriguing characters and events.

Kiran Java explained, “Apart from the title story where a mischievous cat scares little Krishna with unexpected consequences, this book also contains nine stories featuring disciples of Vallabhacharya. These adaptations are being published for the first time ever,”

“We selected this book because it is written in a simple and engaging language, offering both adults and young readers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India. It inspires readers to explore the timeless values of compassion, kindness, and respect for all living beings,” said Bharti Bhatia, sub-committee member of THMC. “The fact that the book contains stories about Mahaprabhuji Shri Vallabhacharya’s disciples was an added bonus,” she added.

Expressing her gratitude, Kiran Java stated, “This month has been particularly exciting for me because my first book, ‘The Sacred Love Letter: Krishna Weds Rukmini’ was selected by Exotic India Art to be featured in their curated product list that promotes Indian Heritage and now THMC has selected ‘The Cat who scared Krishna and other tales’ for a bulk purchase.”
“I would like to thank the Board at THMC for considering my work and am thrilled that the book will be read by community members residing in Bahrain, providing them a glimpse into our ancient heritage,” said Kiran Java.
