This fun and inspirational collection of mythology takes the reader on a transformational journey as the characters battle the forces of duality, take refuge in the divine and fulfill their dharma, the ideal of perfection we all seek to follow. A great introduction to the wisdom of the Vedas and Upanishads, from the marriage of Shiva and Parvati to the birth of Krisna and much more. Swami Satyananda Saraswati does a beautiful job conveying the knowledge and bliss of these ancient Indian myths. It's a blessing to find such wisdom available in our modern western society. I would recommend sharing these short stories with the entire family. It was a great joy reading Swami Purana and I plan to read it again and again.
