Summary
Details

From the creation of the universe to celestial wars to reincarnation, Indian mythology features enigmatic tales of time, creation, and spirituality.

Indian mythology is not simply a thing of the past. Modern-day festivals, celebrations, worship, music, dance, poetry, and film and television might portray or include aspects of Indian mythology. The subject is also beloved by those who study and practice it.

Indian mythology stretches beyond the tales of creation. This book will acquaint you with the gods and goddesses who shaped the world, as well as epic tales of hardship, struggle, and strife.

Mythology attempts to explain the origins of the universe and delves deep into understanding the creation of time, matter, and life itself. Were humans born out of the light that spilled from Lord Brahma? Was the universe created out of a golden egg? Can all of the human race trace its lineage back to one man?

This book offers a comprehensive guide to the events that shape Indian mythology.

Reading this book, you will discover the following:

Tales of the creation of the universe The creation of matter, life, and time The way the three components of the universe interact to maintain balance Some of the great gods in Hindu mythology, including the three gods of the Trimurti The role of the great goddesses in the creation and sustenance of the universe and the ways in which they overcome challenges The various avatars and incarnations of gods and goddesses in Hindu mythology Tales from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, which speak of strength of character, resilience, and hope And so much more!
