These never before published teaching stories of the yoga master Swami Kripalu are at once down-to-earth and transcendent. The Swami was fond of telling stories as a way of making his often subtle and surprising points. For example, in a parable about mind control, “The Demanding Daughter,” we learn of a young spoiled woman who will only marry on the condition that she can find a husband who will allow her to strike him on the head seven times a day with her shoe. Each story is set off by a particular yoga principle that the Swami illustrates through the story.

This review is from: From the Heart of the Lotus: The Teaching Stories of Swami Kripalu (Paperback)
This is a great book to learn the parables of yoga or any type of spiritual practice. The quotes before each story lead into an inspiring tale to help one negotiate the turmoils of life. Swami Kripalu was an enlightened being and his wisdom shines through on each page.
