Wondrous Whispers of Wisdom from Ancient India: Volume I

Bequeathed by the Great Sages over 1000 years ago, the five hundred odd verses included in this text offer a code of conduct, a philosophy of social and ethical relations and a lively teaching of morals crucial to the survival of a modern society caught up in a turmoil of decaying values. The selections include words of wisdom known as Subhaashitaas—literally meaning well-spoken words—passed down orally through generations, and works of three great masters of Sanskrit language: Vedavyasa, Sankaracharya and Bhartrihari.
