Myths of India

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 similar to ordinary people: they love and hate, start families and wage wars, win and lose, achieve enlightenment and bear punishment for wrongdoing.

You will learn how the entire world emerged from the body of the giant Purusha, why the gods do not eat fish, who the vahanas are, and how Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are interconnected. Like the "Iliad," the "Odyssey," and the "Epic of Gilgamesh," these ancient tales continue to captivate and inspire humanity even after millennia, conveying important lessons about good and evil, the power of love, and knowledge.
