Paramahansa Yogananda

Stories from India

This treasury of Indian tales will delight both the casual reader and students of Eastern thought. Featuring a gamut of characters—from saints to thieves, God-realized masters to lions and frogs—these stories were all told by Paramhansa Yogananda in his lectures, informal talks, and writings.

Yogananda, author of the best-selling spiritual title Autobiography of a Yogi, knew that stories have a way of bringing out a childlike openness within us, regardless of our age. In that openness, heart and mind make connections the intellect alone may miss. He told these tales to illustrate the spiritual and practical truths he was teaching.

It is not enough to be inspired by spiritual truths. We must be able to apply those teachings to our daily lives.

Each story is followed by a “Wisdom Gem,” illuminating spiritually vital topics such as Right Action, Courage, Unconditional Love, Faith, and Wisdom—an enjoyable way to explore and reflect on these universal principles. For ease of use, the stories are indexed by the qualities they illustrate.

Whether you are a teacher, parent, student, or devotee, these stories are resource to turn to again and again for inspiration, sharing and personal study.

Wisdom Stories

Stories from India, Volume One

The Wisdom Stories Series from the Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda

They enter into our consciousness, captivating our imagination with interesting characters and fantastic storylines. Beneath the surface, they recount the age-old human drama with circumstances and plots not so very different from our own. Certainly parallels, and more importantly lessons, can be drawn that continue to instruct, and to change the way we live and relate to one another.

This second volume in the WISDOM STORIES SERIES picks up where volume one left off, with stories shared by the great yoga master Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the best-selling spiritual classic title Autobiography of a Yogi) and his close, direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. These stories have been told for generations, imparting universal values of compassion and understanding, virtue, dharma (right action), and the ability to relate to another’s reality.
