Myths of India

This book invites you to make a fascinating journey to the mysterious and exotic world of Indian mythology. The heroes of these myths - the powerful gods and heroes endowed with fantastic features and superpowers - are so similar to ordinary people: they also love and hate, start families and wage wars, defeat and lose, achieve enlightenment and carry punishment for bad deeds. You will learn how the whole world appeared from the body of the giant Purushi, why the gods do not eat fish, who are the wahans and how Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are interconnected.

Like “Iliad”, “Odyssey” and “The epic about Gilgamesh”, these ancient legends and after a millennium continue to excite and inspire humanity, translating important lessons about good and evil, about the strength of love and knowledge.
