Hindu myths. From ancient cosmology to gods and demons. Martin J.

The moment of the origin of Hinduism is unknown; In Hinduism, there is neither the prophet nor the Messiah who would teach people how to worship the gods and what forms of worship to follow; There is no single text containing universal truths. Instead, there are various religious practices and countless general options. And the characters, gods and stories from the ancient texts of the Upanishad, Vedas, “Mahabharata” and “Ramayana” are designed to demonstrate moral principles, responsibilities and proper behavior in Hinduism.

Learn about four cyclic southern souths, or era, Vedic cosmology, in which there is neither the beginning nor the end; About the creative myth, about Varah, a mighty Vepra, who saved the earth from death in ancient waters. Get acquainted with the legend of the frame, which, despite the enormous difficulties, rescued his love to Sita from captivity from the king-dermon Ravana; as well as with Vishnu, the greatest god in Trimurti - the Hindu triad of the gods, with his nine different avatars; Vishnu prevents the destruction of the Earth, preserving the Atman, unchanging true essence.
