Imagine what this world would be if its citizens studied the traditions that are outside their own homelands. Presented for the 21st century reader are the life adventures of Rama, Krsna (Krishna), Zoroaster, Siddthartha Gautama (The Buddha), Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad. They are the epics that explain mysteries hidden since the beginning of time. You may have met someone in your life who has endured real tragedies in their lifetime, yet they are still happy. And if you ask them, “How can you feel that way today?” They invariably respond by saying, “I have my faith for comfort.” This book affords you the opportunity to explore the wisdom of several faiths and to deepen your own faith if you so choose.
