Swami Purana

The stories of the Swami Purana comprise an anthology of the wisdom of the Sanatana Dharma -- the eternal Ideal of Perfection, a treasure chest of the folklore of ancient India, and a modern day application of these classical teachings. This collection represents a small bucket drawn from the immense ocean of spiritual wisdom. These stories originated from the Vedas and Upanisads, were amplified in the Puranas, enhanced through the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata, and explained in both the Shrimad Bhagavat and Devi Bhagavatam. They have been arranged into a chronology from the Satya Yuga to the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and are tied together by a lineage of events from the disappearance of Sati, the wife of Shiva, and the destruction of the God of Love, to the birth of King Janamejaya and the commencement of the Age of Darkness. The stories are filled with many levels of meaning, and they are lots of fun. You will enjoy reading them aloud, acting out the parts, and sharing this heritage with your children and your friends.Swami Satyananda Saraswati is the author of 'Swami Purana', published 1999 under ISBN 9781887472616 and ISBN 1887472614.
