We love stories. We have grown up listening to stories. Stories guide our lives. In short, stories help us understand ourselves, others and the life itself. Storytelling has always been one of the most powerful and delectable ways to convey the truths of life and the medium through which we can communicate meaningfully with each other. Also it is the oldest form of communication. The first thing people often do upon meeting each other is to begin telling stories. Like emotional glue, stories connect the audience to the message. They also reshape knowledge into something meaningful. We all have a natural affinity for stories therefore we are drawn towards novels, movies, gossip magazines, etc. Çréla Prabhupäda is the true äcärya who very convincingly presented the truth of Vedic scriptures in simple and understandable way for the benefit of the fallen people in the age of Kali. He often used stories to get the message of the scriptures across to the audience in a more simple and lucid way. This book is a compilation of stories told by Çréla Prabhupäda through his books, lectures and conversations. We are presenting them here as they are very useful in understanding, practicing and preaching Kåñëa consciousness.
