Enlightening Tales Book

From the time of the Gospels, the Mahabharata, and long before, spiritual teachers have used stories and parables to help pass along their wisdom and understanding to the widest possible audience. Students of the world-renowned Yoga Master, Sri Swami Satchidananda, have now put together a new anthology of 47 of his most popular stories, fables and tales. Both children and adults will appreciate the warmth, humor and simplicity of the Swami's narrative style and the many intricate, delightful color illustrations, rendered in a classic Indian motif. The overall effect is both entertaining and thought provoking. The Swami's higher purpose, of course, is to cultivate those values and attitudes that lead to a happy, fulfilling life, and eventually to that transcendent state of Truth-Knowledge-Joy (in Sanskrit, "Sat-Chid-Ananda") which, it is said, can only be hinted at with words. This is a book for the whole family; indeed, for the whole Human Family.Read More
