Anyone who has attended Swamiji’s vibrant discourses will surely recall the many ‘small stories’ with which they are sprinkled.

Drawn from folk-tales, Zen anecdotes, comic books and from his own experience, these stories are small only in size. Hidden deep in each simple story is a profound insight into human nature, which Swamiji draws out with gentle humour and infinite compassion.

Some of Swamiji’s most popular parables are presented here. As always with these anecdotes, go easy on the factual details, just enjoy the spirit of the tales!
