Enlightening Tales

Here is a storybook for everyone—with lions and kings, rogues and saints, a boy who can stop an elephant, and a milkmaid who can walk on water!

Filled with wisdom, adventure, and surprises, these timeless tales remind us of what is important as we move into the twenty-first century. At once entertaining and instructive, these simple, practical stories have been related by Reverend Sri Swami Satchidananda. Sri Swamiji is well-known and well-loved for his deep spiritual insight, as well as his sense of humor. Some of the stories he tells have been drawn from nature; others have been pa passed on from generation to generation.. Some come from the ancient scriptures; others from the folk-lore of India. They enlighten us about how to lead easeful, peaceful, useful lives and, ultimately, attain spiritual realization.
