PREFACE
Every day’s news bears evidence to the fact that
cases of violence, moral turpitude, corruption,
misappropriation of public funds etc. have become rampant
at all levels from the ministers to a petty peon. There is
indiscipline, unruly behaviour and violence among students
too in all educational institutions. If this dangerous trend is
to be reversed, the children and youth of this country will
have to be induced to have basic faith in a benignant
Super Power controlling the entire world and introduced to
the rich cultural heritage of this country. People should be
persuaded to love God and respect Dharma irrrespective
of the religions to which they may belong. In a very small
way, it is hoped that these stories for inspiration will show
the way to the present younger generation to have a deep
faith in God, to have their moral values strengthned besides
providing some entertainment. In the recent days, the stories
of Harry Potter with an overwhelming flavour of magic
and supernatural powers have become so popular that on
the day of release of a new book in the series the boys/
girls along with the parents go and stand for hours in long
queue in the bookshops in order to procure the copies.
Why should we not utilise this trend by dishing out stories
involving the magic and miracles of God, compassion,
love, truth and faith which will be more healthy and
beneficial? With all our traffic safety measures and control,
many cases of gruesome traffic accidents happen everyday
where young people die miserably. Meditation and regular
prayers to the Supreme Power done with firm faith and
