poem in the tradition of the Bhagavad Gita, full of stories on

old Rama and the celebrated guru of his family, Vasistha. Verses for
the Brave is a selection of 218 verses from the Yoga-Vasistha, ones that
reflect upon the world and life, emphasizing the need for balance
between involvement in worldly affairs and the motivation to attain
liberation. A gorgeous rendition of a significant companion to the
Ramayana, it offers the heroes of now a philosophy of the past.
