Synopsis Written originally in classical, lovely Sanskrit, The Yoga-Vasistha is a long philosophical poem in the tradition of the Bhagavat Gita, but lightened by stories full of super-human feats and supernatural events. Attributed to Valmiki and covering subjects such as knowledge, life and death, physics, the human mind and more, Verses for the Brave is a gorgeous rendition of a significant companion to the Ramayana, offering us a philosophy from the past for the heroes of now.
