Uplifting Stories for Life, December 6, 2001
This review is from: Garden of the Soul: Lessons on Living in Peace, Happiness, and Harmony (Paperback)
Shri Chinmoy a renowned spiritual leader, peace activist, author and musician from India, currently living in New York shares a number of stories of Indian origin with the western readers. They are stories from India's ancient past, episodes from the lives of Indian saints and some parables. All of them contain valuable moral lessons for the new generation. It is indeed a praiseworthy attempt to introduce the wisdom of the east to the west. These stories of Sri Chinmoy are interspersed with his own thought-provoking and illuminating verses and his soul-bird illustrations. It is indeed a nice book, well designed for young people.

Inspiration Stories, October 16, 2010
This review is from: Garden of the Soul: Lessons on Living in Peace, Happiness, and Harmony (Paperback)
Good collection of stories that explain spiritual truths in a more entertaining form. They are mostly Indian and there seems a rich stream of stories from ancient to modern. I particularly like the ones about Swami Vivekananda such as smoking with an untouchable.
