Description
Book SynopsisIt is better to be aflame for an instant, rather than smoke away for ages! This is the injunction given by a brave mother to her defeated warrior son in the ancient epic, the Mahabharata. It is indeed an exhortation to all of us, defeated souls, to live life as it ought to be lived, to be fired by the highest ideals and values which make our lives truly meaningful. Life may be short, but it need not be small! How can we live such a life? How can we light up the brilliant flame of true living? Dada J P Vaswani shows us the way of inspiration. He tells us to read about the lives of the saints, the great ones of East and West who came to bless all people of all faiths. Even if we are able to imbibe one ideal from one of them and translate it into deeds of daily living, our lives will not be in vain. In this book he tells us about saints, ancient and contemporary, whom he reveres. Here we get to know about the saints from Dada''s own unique and loving perspective. He tells us about Vishwamitra and St Francis; Meher Baba and Ba''al Shem Tov; Bhakta Tuladhar and Narsi Mehta. Dada shows us how Joan of Arc and Mahavira, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nandanar can help us to live a life that is truly beautiful.
