A decoding of Hindu mythology. Hindus have one God. They also have 330 million gods: Male Gods, Female Gods, Personal Gods, Family Gods, Household Gods, Village Gods, Gods of space and time, Gods for specific castes and particular professions, Gods who reside in trees – in animals – in minerals – in geometrical patterns and in man-made objects.Then there are a whole host of demons.But no Devil.In this groundbreaking book Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik – one of India’s most popular mythologists – seeks an answer to these apparent paradoxes and unravels an inherited truth about life and death – nature and culture – perfection and possibility. He retells sacred Hindu stories and decodes Hindu symbols and rituals – using a unique style of commentary – illustrations and diagrams.
We discover why the villainous Kauravas went to heaven and the virtuous Pandavas (all except Yudhishtira) were sent to hell – why Rama despite abandoning the innocent Sita remains the model king – why the blood-drinking Kali is another form of the milk-giving Gauri – and why Shiva wrenched off the fifth head of Brahma.Constructed over generations – Hindu myths serve as windows to the soul – and provide an understanding of the world around us. The aim is not to outgrow myth – but to be enriched and empowered by its ancient – potent and still relevant language.

About Author
Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik studied medicine but decided he loves telling stories better. He feels stories are like Eclair sweets - if you chew long enough, you get a burst of the chocolate that is locked inside. So rather than working as a doctor, he decided to write and tell ancient Indian stories and reveal the idea-chocolate within them. He believes these stories are the gifts of our ancestors. He has been doing this for a long time and even uses the wisdom of these stories to help businesses.
