Mystical Stories from the Bhagavatam
A prince enters a forbidden forest and turns into a princess...
God assumes a gorgeous female form to deceive and destroy demons...
A dead child is revived and speaks the highest wisdom...
These amazing stories, derived from ancient India's Shrimad Bhagavatam, take the reader on an enthralling mystical journey. Filled with adventure, romance, and intrigue, these remarkable stories portray a fascinating world of powerful gods, terrifying demons, illustrious kings, compassionate saints and ordinary people. Retold by master storyteller Amal Bhakta, these are a valuable meditation, for they affect not only the mind and heart, but the soul as well. They are inspiring tales for wisdom-seekers of all backgrounds.
"These are good stories: interesting, well told, and fun to read or listen to. The Bhagavatam's message may be uniform, but it is never bland, and the variety of stories here and in the text as a whole gives its message nuance and broad appeal... This collection has some of the Bhagavatam's best....
Enjoy them as good stories should be enjoyed."
