Inspiring Stories

Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj,as an exemplary Sannyasin,was one of the stalwarts in the spiritual field who considered the spirit of renunciation in a world of phantasmal presentations as of paramount importance.One would find that in all his writings there is an undercurrent of renunciation.Though he has tirelesly attempted in his various writings to present even to the novitate the true meaning of this supremely requisite qualification,namely,renunciation,one can safely conclude that there is no feature of spiritual life more misunderstood and misinterpreted than the demand for renunciation as a response to the call of the higher life.The illusion before the eyes of the man is so inscrutably constructed that not even the wisest of people have found it easy to extricate themselves from it's powerful cluthches penetrating into the vey vitals of one's being.This insistence on an interesting and improving factor in the leading of the truly spiritual life is to be considered the explanation for this book commencing at the outset with a not-much-known but awakening message through the first story.
