Revti’s book is phenomenal. It really captures the plight of the earth, through the eyes of Hindu faith. Not only are my children able to learn about the Demi Gods who work together to protect the earth, like superheroes, but it highlights key environmental issues which will be so prevalent in their lifetimes. I will recommend it to all the schools I teach in.

I couldn’t put this book down! It beautifully explains the rich history of Sanatan Dharma in a way that’s easy for young minds to grasp. They’ll gain a true understanding of Hinduism’s key aspects. The artwork is simply stunning! The intricate details of the characters, the vibrant colours, and the unique artistic style all transport you right into the story.
But what truly elevates this book is how author Revti Halai connects our divine Hindu deities with a crucial message for young readers: the importance of taking care of our planet Earth. The book cleverly addresses the disturbing issue of global warming and empowers kids to be part of the solution. The writing style is captivating, especially the way it references our ancient Vedic texts, making the wisdom feel both timeless and relevant.
This is a must-read for all children! It offers a positive life lesson about protecting our planet while simultaneously connecting them to the profound wisdom of the Vedas. It’s a perfect blend of entertainment and education!
Dr Rishi Handa | Head of Sanskrit and Head of Religious Studies & Philosophy at St James Senior Boys’ School –
The beauty of Hindu cosmology is that it views nature as organic, not just material. With divinity permeating the whole of creation, there is a sacredness to nature’s features and forces, a sacredness rooted in the devas or cosmic archetypes. Humans and nature must live in a symbiotic relationship if our planet is to remain fit enough to be called our home, yet the present human disregard for her sanctity is leading us to troubled times. The natural world we live in is in a precarious state and unless addressed, will become unbearable for generations to come; to harm her irrevocably is to make us homeless and threaten our very existence. It requires us all therefore, especially the youth – the custodians of the future – to become informed and take responsibility for looking after the very Mother Earth who houses us, supports us, nurtures us, and sustains us.
Revti Halai in her evident and commendable regard for our world, has sought to approach this concerning issue in an innovative way that permits the reader to appreciate our planet’s current condition through the concept of devas. Our human empathy is typically drawn out when we see others like us suffering since we relate to a shared sentience as well as desire to shun adverse experiences. Therefore, to see the natural elements not just as impersonal but as deities going through turmoil allows us to feel their pain. Through reading the book, we intrinsically want to help them, more so because we know that their suffering will consequentially result in ours. This elicited compassion is all we need to realise that we can remedy this, and Revti suggests ways to do so. This is a practical book, initially bringing to the reader an awareness of the environmental problems, and then by encouraging one to contribute to its solution. It also enables the reader to learn about Hindu cosmology with its deities and concepts of time. Keeping all this in mind, Revti’s efforts deserve recognition and applause.
What makes this wonderful piece of work even more enchanting and enticing are Ishan Trivedi’s exquisite illustrations which bring the personified elemental archetypes to life and thus, make them relatable. His artistic talent really does make the book an absolute joy to look at.

Pancha Maha Bhuta: The Five Great Elements is a captivating children’s book that beautifully introduces young readers to the core elements of Hindu cosmology while imparting an essential message about protecting our environment. Written by Revti Halai and vividly illustrated by Ishan Trivedi, this book is a delightful blend of storytelling and spiritual wisdom, making it both engaging and educational for children and adults alike.
The book centres around the five great elements—Akash (Ether), Vayu (Air), Jal (Water), Agni (Fire), and Prithvi (Earth)—which are fundamental to our world and integral to our planet’s natural balance. Each chapter unfolds the significance of these elements, helping children understand how they work together to sustain life and why they must be respected and protected.
What makes Pancha Maha Bhuta particularly special is its ability to connect timeless wisdom with modern environmental concerns. By framing the elements as living, breathing forces, the book gently encourages readers to recognise the vital role nature plays in our lives and to be mindful of preserving it. This message resonates not only with children but also with adults, making the book a valuable tool for fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
Ishan Trivedi’s illustrations add a layer of visual magic to the text. The vibrant, detailed depictions of the elements and the natural world make the story come alive, capturing the imagination of young readers and keeping them engaged. The artwork enhances the book’s appeal, ensuring it remains a favourite on any child’s bookshelf.
Overall, Pancha Maha Bhuta is a beautifully crafted book that serves as both a spiritual guide and an environmental call to action. Its simple yet profound lessons, complemented by mesmerising illustrations, make it a must-read for anyone seeking to instil a love and respect for nature in the next generation. Highly recommended!
