Indian Myths

The sacred tales and heroic epics of India have been passed down from one generation to the next, weaving a powerful cultural heritage and sense of history for the diverse peoples of that nation. These ancient narratives of creation, destruction, love and war are personified and populated by such gods as Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer. Thrilling stories in their own right, these myths are also still closely intertwined with the religions of today. Concentrating mainly on tales from Hindu mythology, the questions of who we are and how we came to be are explored and retold within this fascinating and resourceful book. --Cover
