Real Dragons Don't Cry
InnerWorld Publications
If you took Lord of the Rings, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Alice in Wonderland and the Bhagavad Gita and put them in a blender, the odds are that you would not end up with this book. But perhaps something like it.
Part fantasy, part surreal comedy, and part spiritual coming of age adventure, Real Dragons is a story related by an alien to an Earth child as they travel to our planet.

But perhaps something like it.
Part fantasy, part surreal comedy, and part spiritual coming of age adventure, Real Dragons is a story related by an alien to an Earth child as they travel to our planet. He tells her of his first mission here in the fourteenth century when he was sent by his master to find the last seed of the microvita tree, whose mysterious power had the potential to transform our world.
The microvita tree was destroyed in the sinking of Atlantis long ago, and only an evil necromancer and Joe, the last dragon from Atlantis, know how to find it. One problem. The dragon eats people. -

Dada Nabhaniilananda has in a masterful stroke answered many common questions on meditation, given useful tips and guidelines on how to practice interspersed with his subtly humorous stories, and clarified for the reader the essence of meditating with profundity and practicality. Not only does he shares with us the fine nuances of mantra meditation, he goes further than many current authors on meditation by offering us a glimpse into the social dimensions of genuine spirituality. - Kris Kang PhD. (Studies in Religion) Co-Author of The Meditative way: Theory and Practice of Buddhist Meditation
This book includes Sunrise Meditation and Sunset Meditation, two beautiful guided meditation MP3s that you can download for free. -
