Here we stand, and our eyes look forward sometimes miles ahead. Man has been doing that since he began to think. He is always looking forward, looking ahead. He wants to know where he goes, even after the dissolution of his body. Various theories have been propounded, system after system has been brought forward to suggest explanations.

Ramayana is a mythological story, which has been passed down for many generations.

The role of Sita has been generally overlooked in the past. Sita, too, is a pivotal character. Still, she has often been portrayed as a frail and meek character.

Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja, or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution.

The stories in this volume are my version, though I’ve stuck as closely to the original myths and legends as imagination allows.

The message of the Bhagavad Gita is eternal and unchanging, but the time that surrounds us is always changing, thus our perception of life, our current situation, and our necessity is also always changing.

The clear translation of the original Sanskrit with concise commentary for the 21st century makes this edition of Bhagavad Gita very approachable and easy to hear.
