Synopsis Illustrated stories for children that impart universal human values Grandmothers are wizards who can teach without seeming to. And the stories they tell are simply magical in the way they impact fertile young minds and inculcate a deep sense of values. Moksha is an enchanting book of a granny's stories, providing spiritual renaissance for both young, searching minds and weary, wise ones. If granny's stories are refreshing and interesting, the interjections by the grandchildren are downright educative for their insights into the children's world. Moksha gets us to ask ourselves one vital question: what spiritual values do we teach our children? And then it goes on to offer a rich basket of lucid, thought-provoking and inspiring stories which transport you gently into the Land of Now – where all things are possible!
