A MOTHER–SON CREATIVE JOURNEY
A MOTHER–SON CREATIVE JOURNEY
Our first book, “You’re SECOND TO NONE! Andy,” emerged from this beautiful mother–son(Malvika-Adhrit) exchange of ideas, imagination, learning, and wisdom.
It is more than a children’s book to us.
It is an emotional and experiential wisdom exchange between a mother and her son—a reflection of the conversations, observations, values, and lessons we discovered together.
Through Andy’s journey, we wanted to share an important message with children:
Your worth does not depend on winning.
Success and failure are both part of the journey. What matters is giving your best, learning from every experience, continuing with courage, and remaining balanced through the outcome.
This is the essence of equanimity.
ROOTED IN THE WISDOM OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA
ROOTED IN THE WISDOM OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA
The Bhagavad Gita has been a profound source of inspiration for our philosophy.
Its timeless wisdom teaches us about action, responsibility, resilience, self-mastery, and equanimity.
We seek to translate these timeless principles into stories that children can understand, enjoy, remember, and eventually live.
Because we believe:
Knowledge helps children learn.
Wisdom helps children navigate life.
OUR PROMISE
OUR PROMISE
Every MAADHEVA book is created with the intention of offering a child more than a story.
A thought to reflect upon.
A value to carry.
A perspective to remember.
And a wisdom to live by.
Because childhood is not merely preparation for life.
Childhood is where the foundations of life are built.

Malvika Bahl
Founder | Author | Illustrator | Educator
Malvika Bahl (M.Tech.) is an educator, author, illustrator, mother, bibliophile, and the visionary founder of MAADHEVA Books, a premium children’s book brand inspired by timeless wisdom.
Her journey as a founder began not in a boardroom, but at home—through the beautiful experience of raising, teaching, learning, and creating alongside her son.
As a mother and educator, Malvika discovered that some of the most important lessons children need cannot be found in textbooks alone. They are found in how we respond to success and failure, how we handle challenges, how we see ourselves, and how we treat others.
This realization inspired her to bring the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita into the world of children through stories.
“We should not only raise children who know how to succeed. We should raise children who know how to remain balanced through success and failure.”
“You’re SECOND TO NONE! Andy,” is a reflection of this philosophy—a mother–son creative journey that brings together storytelling, illustration, childhood experiences, and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.
For Malvika, MAADHEVA Books is more than a publishing venture.
It is a purpose.
A purpose to place wisdom at the foundation of childhood, nurture emotional intelligence and self-esteem, and ultimately contribute to raising a generation of equanimous children.
