Book Description
All along the ramparts of time, our sages and seers have evolved noble guidelines in human relationships through tales and parables. Stories have always attracted the young and the old and the reservoir of ancient Indian wisdom contains thousands of stories which offer solutions to most of the modem day problem. It is the desire of Gurudev to present to the Art of Living family and the world a few of these entertaining and educative stories from our Indian scriptures. Acharya Ratnananda is now translating this desire into action. Let us now awake through these stories to the world of faith, fantasy and fiction as well as love, laughter and life.
Acharya Ratnananda is a renowned Vedic scholar from Bangalore. He hails from family spiritual masters and his parents were associated with the youngest son of Mahatma Gandhi and took active part in India’s freedom struggle. He is the father of the world renowned sage and scholar Sri Sri Ravishankar, the inspiring source behind the Art of Living programs all over the world, by which millions of people have benefited. He is a founder trustee of Ved Vignam Maha Vidyapeeth, a well known educational and charitable trust as also the president of Vista India, a charitable organisation engaged in uplifting poor rural women and children in a Christian institution and studied the ancient Indian scriptures at home. This twofold approach gives him a clearer perception of the eastern and western schools of thought, in matters influencing life on the physical, mental and emotional planes. His special field of research is the ancient Indian heritage and its practical applications in modern times, as also the ancient sciences of medical astrology, yoga and ayurveda.
