On the banks of the Shamukhi river, swathed in vines, and set about with the most sacred plant the tulsi, there is a ball of fruits, flowers and leaves. This ball, hidden in the shrubbery, is a 'Kalp Vriksh' – a wish-yielding tree. Papageno formerly a bird catcher and now catching trees, meets this 'Vriksh' and is about to dig him up, when the tree offers to fulfil his wishes. This kind offer leads to a tour of the long corridor of time to see the great sages of the past. During this tour Papageno starts developing his consciousness and gaining an understanding of the Total Knowledge available in Vedic Science. This series of books covers Papageno's adventures while at the same time presenting His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's knowledge about how to live the fullness of life.
