Presented by actor author Geoffrey Giuliano, here is an exciting ‘listen while you learn’ audio production which promises to entertain, enlighten and enliven the listener. Icon productions offer a daring, fresh perspective on the hundreds of perennial favorite tales which have inspired generations and imbued a deep love of literature and art in millions over time. Welcome to the wonderful, unparalleled world of Icon Audio Arts.

One of the mandates of Icon Audiobooks is to introduce, and in some cases re-introduce, people of all generations to the inspirational, classic spiritual literature of the ages. This original audiobook falls into that very select and important category. Here you will find ageless wisdom, timeless truisms, and unbounded inspiration. From the ancient Hindu text, the Bhagavad-Gita, to the voluminous, intricate Vegas, the teachings of great modern saints like Meher Baba, Parmahansa Yogananda, Neem Karoli Baba, Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and Baba Ram Das – to the humble parables of Lord Jesus, the prophet Mohammad, as well as divine avatars such as Bhagavan Sri Krsna, Lord Ramachandra and the Buddha, Icon casts a wide net to include the greatest insights of the ever expanding spiritual universe. As the old ISB song goes, “May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you guide your way home.” ‘Vrndavana Days’ was produced in the beautiful realm of the Varaj Mandala in late 2019 and includes the very personal, real life stories of the narrator’s time there over thirty years, and the long hard road which ultimately brought this determined spiritual seeker back home to the sacred land of Sri Sri Radha Krsna. Dedicated to the sacred memory of two pure devotees, H. G. Srimati Vrndarani Devi Dasi Maharani (1953-2017) and H. G. Srila Bhakti Hirday Mangal Niloy Gosvami Maharaj.

Beatrix Potter was born July 28, 1866. She was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children’s books featuring animals. Born into an upper-middle-class household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Potter’s study and watercolours of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. In her thirties, Potter self-published the highly successful children’s book The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Following this, Potter began writing and illustrating children’s books full-time.. Potter’s books continue to sell throughout the world in many languages with her stories being retold in songs, films, ballet, and animations, and her life depicted in a feature film and television film.
