Great Escapes - Memoirs of a Guardian Angel

Great Escapes is the fifth in the series of Satyam Tales depicting the life and teachings of our guru, Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Through the medium of these simple narratives, we hear the voice of Sri Swamiji inspiring all, irrespective of age.

Amartyaa, a guardian angel, keeps a vigilant eye on her beloved ward, Sat yam, watching with awe and admiration (and sometimes lending a helping hand) as Sat yam escapes from various shackles and situations to fulfil his grand destiny. These miraculous escapes trace the life of Sat yam from early childhood to the final, wilful liberation of a perfected yogi. The ward had outshone his guard, ready to join the ranks of celestial beings.

This story is a delightful read for children, adults and old alike. It is an invaluable message for those engaged in the world and for those seeking the spirit. This journey is your journey, these challenges are your challenges, and this victory is your victory. It is a story that will touch your heart, give you joy, hope, conviction and, above all, faith. Yes, you too can learn to escape from the fetters that keep you in bondage.
