Swami Purana (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781887472616)

The stories of the Swami Purana comprise an anthology of select stories from the folklore of ancient India and a modern day presentation bringing relevance and freshness to these classical teachings. This collection represents a small bucket drawn from the immense ocean of spiritual wisdom. These stories originated from the Vedas and Upanisads, were amplified in the Puranas, enhanced through the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata, and explained in both the Shrimad Bhagavatam and Devi Bhagavatam. They have been arranged into a chronology from the Satya Yuga to the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and are tied together by a lineage of events from the disappearance of Sati, the wife of Shiva, and the destruction of the God of Love, to the birth of King Janamejaya and the commencement of the Age of Darkness. The stories are filled with many levels of meaning, and they are lots of fun. They are a joy to read aloud, act out the parts, and share this heritage with children and friends.
