Description: Collection of some of the most vivid stories from early Indian folklore and spiritual texts including the Vedas and the Puranas. These stories feature the gods of India in their celestial and earthly abodes, hapless humans struggling with life's many problems, and gods and humans interacting. Assembled by Kamla Kapur, these stories illustrate the great spiritual and practical themes of the human condition. Kamla Kapur brings her poet's eye and ear to the retelling of these stories, recreating and dramatizing them to illuminate their relevance to modern times.

Description
Four principles, according to Nasser Zaghi, combine to create a blueprint for conflict resolution, whether in intimate relationships or on a worldwide scale. The first principle is love, and the other three -- acceptance, fairness, and doing one’s best -- lie within it. Living by these four simple principles confers the power to transform problems and challenges into understanding, harmony, and cooperation. The aphorisms in this book can be used as daily meditations or discussion topics and can help readers visualize and ultimately materialize a world filled with love.
