Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.



About the Author
One of the greatest Kundalini yoga masters of the twentieth century was also a scholar, musician, athlete and writer. The largest Yoga school in the west-Kripalu Yoga Center- was inspired by his teachings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, January 11, 2009
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.
