BOOKS BY LINDA EGENES:
SHOW INTRODUCTION:
Today I’ll be talking with Linda Egenes, author of more than 500 articles and five books on the benefits of meditation, yoga and other vedic techniques for improving health, and co-author of an incredibly readable version of an ancient wisdom text, a book I can’t put down, though it’s A LOT of book, The Ramayana: A New Retelling of Valmiki’s Ancient Epic–Complete and Comprehensive (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions)
And that’s just what I want to talk with her about today, about dharma, or our existence and the life lessons we can learn from The Ramayana, and how we can put them into place in our lives.
That plus we’ll talk about a golden deer, the power of a squirrel, getting swallowed up by mother earth, flying monkeys, rediscovering who we truly are, and why you might not want to date a demon.
