Swami Purana - Anthology of select stories from the folklore of ancient India
The stories of the Swami Purana comprise an anthology of select stories from the folklore of ancient India and a modern day presentation bringing relevance and freshness to 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 Bhagavatam 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. They are a joy to read aloud, act out the parts, and share this heritage with children and friends.
About the Author
Swami Satyananda Saraswati is considered to be one of the foremost Vedic scholars and Sanskrit translators in the West. He is the author of nearly 60 books in nine different languages representing a significant contribution to the understanding of Hinduism and Vedic religious practices.
Swamiji comes from the Dashnami lineage of Adi Shankaracharya, and belongs to the Saraswati tribe of renunciates and scholars who are living the life of a teacher and a knower of wisdom, worshiping with both spiritual knowledge and devotion. His Guru, Swami Amritananda Saraswati, initiated him into the Vedic Knowledge, Sanskrit, and the Chandi Path and sacred fire ceremony as his primary system of spiritual discipline in 1971.
He practiced the recitation of the Chandi Path in the Himalayan snow and in the hot springs of Bakreswar. Through this rigorous penance, he became impervious to the influences of heat and cold. Through his experiences walking the length and breadth of the Himalayas over 15 years, Swamiji fell in love with Sanskrit and became proficient in numerous languages including Bengali and Hindi. Wherever he went he would learn the local systems of worship and inspire those around him to participate. Swamiji’s expertise and experience spans many different religious traditions. His realizations and teachings make him a living example of Ramakrishna’s Gospel, “as many as there are individuals, so many are the paths to God”.
In 1979, Swamiji met Shree Maa when he was performing a vow of worship in a small temple in the interior of West Bengal. They toured India, spreading their divine love and inspiration by performing pujas, homas, and sharing their realizations, and teaching their methods of spiritual practice. In 1984 they came to America and established the Devi Mandir, where he and Shree Maa shine their beacon of light from Napa, California. Today, they share all their resources to give every individual an opportunity to access these spiritual teachings.
