From the Heart of the Lotus by Swami Kripalu
These never before published teaching stories of the yoga master Swami Kripalu are at once down-to-earth and transcendent. The Swami was fond of telling stories as a way of making his often subtle and surprising points. For example, in a parable about mind control, The Demanding Daughter, we learn of a young spoiled woman who will only marry on the condition that she can find a husband who will allow her to strike him on the head seven times a day with her shoe. Each story is set off by a particular yoga principle that the Swami illustrates through the story.
Kripalu, Swami: - Swami Kripalu was born in Gujarat, India and spent his life in that area except for four years in the U.S., from 1977-1981. The Kripalu Center in Massachusetts is his namesake and Kripalu Yoga is practiced the world over. Kripalu had many talents and interests. He was an accomplished musician and composer, playwright, poet, orator, storyteller, writer, and more. He was also a great lover of God and people. He was filled with life, love and humor and was deeply loved by his devotees. He was a student and teacher of love. He said that for every problem, love is the answer. He said that yoga is love. If so, then he is its best example.
