Mystic Mouse is a children’s story based on Merging with Siva,
a book about yoga and the path of self-knowledge and
divine understanding. It is the work of Satguru Sivaya
Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001), whose monastery-temple
complex in Hawaii teaches Saivite Hinduism.
In the story, Mystic Mouse’s guru, the majestic Sage Lion, is none other than Gurudeva and even speaks his words straight from the text of Merging with Siva with only slight alteration for better understanding by children. Thus Mystic Mouse is a child’s window into the Hindu spiritual world, and it can also serve as a children’s coloring book.
Gurudeva taught us that the first gurus are a child’s mother and father, and their first duty is to pass on the heritage of the great Hindu faith to their sons and daughters. He worked personally with his swamis to create and edit Mystic Mouse for Hindu families around the world. It is with great devotion that we dedicate this illustrated tale to Gurudeva in the hope that, as the years roll by, his vision of educating children in the ways of traditional Hinduism might be fulfilled even more magnificently than he would have expected.
