Great story, lesser telling

Would you listen to The Secret of Enduring Love again? Why?

Not in this narration. I found the narrator to be very lyrical in the style. Speaking as if reciting a poem and 18 hours of that seemed long. It took time to get used to it and then some details were missed since the narration was quite monotone. High pitching of the voice while quoting some characters was at times disturbing

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kala the God of time. He had magic, horror and amazing surprising transformation in his story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Very long with more metaphors than actions.

Any additional comments?

Good story! A bit long to develop and to captivate. Great knowledge about energy centers and yoga. Touching.

luscious and soothing

What did you love best about The Secret of Enduring Love?

What did you like best about this story?

I liked how it taught me the ancient yogic mythology

Which character – as performed by Peter Sklivas – was your favorite?

Of course, Damianti, the heroine

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I found it healing.

Any additional comments?

This book is written in modern lingo. It brings ancient mythology to life and teaches about the 7 gateways to love. Its a nice thing to think about and remember.

Love this book 💕

I really enjoy the themes in this book, and have listed to repeatedly over the years. I am relatively unfamiliar with hindu mythology except through readings of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung, so these characters are surprising as well as entertaining. I find this story of the feminine hero's journey to be an intriguing allegory of personal spiritual awakening. Will likely appeal to the mystically inclined.

Great twist on a ancient tale

Took me awhile to get into the story, but was really worth the listen. I recommend any yogi to listen to this to gain a better understanding as to why we need yoga.
