The timeless teachings of King Rsabhadeva are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago in the land of Bharata.

In twenty seven beautifully composed Sanskrit verses, King Rsabhadeva taught his sons precisely how to attain peace, happiness, and the perfection of life. He was both a ° master of brevity and, profundity.
