Wolf-Dieter Storl erzählt wie ein indischer Märchenerzähler - mit spürbarer Begeisterung und spannend wie ein Hörspiel. Er erzählt Mythen und Geschichten von Shiva. Shiva ist nicht nur einer der vielen Götter. Er ist der Gott der Götter, der Urgrund allen Seins, die letzte und einzige Wirklichkeit. Die Welt und all ihre Geschöpfe entspringen seiner ekstatischen Meditation. Als Raubtier streift er durch die Wälder. Als Kraut, Baum und grüner Halm, der im Sonnenlicht badet, genießt er die Welt.

In the early 1970s, Swami Kriyananda asked Asha to start taking notes for the book he knew she would someday write. He explained himself to her in a way he did to only a few others. Since then, she has stayed in constant contact with him, as a devotee, friend, personal assistant, and eventually, a spiritual teacher in her own right. It's a rare gift to live with a true teacher. Experience it for yourself, as Asha brings you into meetings, conversations, personal counseling, living rooms, classrooms, long walks, meetings, and meditations.

Bhakti yoga is a real, genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in love. One single moment of the madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. “Bhakti is greater than karma, greater than yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means, and its own end.”
