‘Enlightening Stories’ is a collection of 74 stories culled from the Indian and other religious traditions. Geographically, they range from the jungles of India to the deserts of the Middle East and the hills of Italy; historically, from the Vedic period to the 20th century; culturally, from the Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, and Christian traditions. Wide-ranging and eclectic, they reflect our rich heritage and illustrate the universality of spiritual truth. Compiled by Swami Vimohananda from Bengali title ‘Galpa Malika’ by Swami Chetanananda and other sources.
