Review
This collection of Swamiji's Enlightening Tales was put together for children, including those of us who reside in grown-up bodies. If you are not seeking enlightenment, don't worry--the stories will entertain you, and my guess is that enlightenment will find you anyway. The stories are derived from India's cultural heritage, but each has a lesson which holds true universally whatever your religious or cultural background. -- From the foreword by Carole King

Teaching Tales,
By Susan Dermond "author of Calm & Compassionate... (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Enlightening Tales: as Told by Sri Swami Satchidananda (Paperback)
These delightful short stories turn on lights in the mind. Like Christ's parables, many tales exist in India that illustrate moral lessons in a vivid way. Satchidananda retells many of these in everyday language, making them feel close. He adds a few original tales of his own.Although I don't think every one of the tales suitable for children, most of them would delight both the parent who reads or tells it and the child who hears it!
