Description

This book invites you to embark on an exciting journey into the mysterious and exotic world of Indian mythology. The heroes of these myths—powerful gods and heroes endowed with fantastic traits and superpowers—are so much like ordinary people: they love and hate, start families and wage wars, win and lose, attain enlightenment and suffer punishment for wrongdoing. You’ll learn how the whole world emerged from the body of the great giant Purusha, why the gods don’t eat fish, who the vahanas are, and how Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are connected.

Like the “Iliad,” the “Odyssey,” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh,” these ancient tales continue, even after thousands of years, to captivate and inspire humanity—conveying important lessons about good and evil, the power of love and knowledge.
