SAGES OF ANCIENT INDIA

The two famous stories of Dhruva and Prahlad tell of the difficulties of the spiritual path and the determination necessary to achieve God-realisation and self-realisation. They contain universal truths applicable to all times and ages and are well known to adults and children throughout India. Dhruva was a young, first-born prince, neglected by his father the King. He resolves to attain an elevated position in the universe not even his father or grandfather could aspire to and transforms his wounded pride into genuine self-realisation. Prahlad was a saintly boy who happened to be born the son of a powerful demon king who tried everything to convert the boy who held fast to his faith in Vishnu. The author Swami lectures on the essence of divine love as experienced through bhakti yoga. 157 page paperback with beautiful pencil illustrations.
