Description
This Volume owes its birth to Frederick Spiegelberg, professor of Stanford University, California, USA, who was charmed when, at a Satsang held during his stay at Ananda Kutir in 1949, Sri Swami Sivanandaji his stay at Ananda Kutir in 1949, Swami Sivanandaji read out to him a few humourous compositions of his. “Swamiji!” said Dr. Frederick, “This is just the thing wanted by the people today. They would love the humour, but would unconsciously learn a spiritual lesson. The impression made by such teaching would be profound and lasting.” This publication itself is a taken of our gratitude to Dr. Frederick Spiegelberg.
Sri Swami Omkaranandaji rendered invaluable help in collecting and editing the numerous poems written by Sri Swami Maharaj.
