Riassunto

Journey into the amazing world of Hindu mythology with Devdutt Pattanaik Why are most temples dedicated to Vishnu, Shiva or the goddess, but not to Brahma or Indra?

Learn about the intricacies of Hindu thought as he explains the origin and meaning of different creation myths, and throws light on why we believe in a cyclical not linear concept of time. This book is your perfect introduction to the endlessly fascinating world of Hindu mythology.

Recensione:

This one is really good from Devdutt, probably the best, because the book is all in the form of question and aswers, much easier to read.Questions were cleverly asked and quite lucid explanations by Devdutt, Epic Channel in book format. --By kaushik goswami on 22 July 2016

Great thing, great search, apart form our knowledge, good to know the other aspects of our Hinduism. I heard very restricted stories of Ramayana & Mahabharata form my elderly. On viewing TV show we are lack of full stories of all. I respect to your hard work, even we are fond of your TV channel. hoping for any further new addition of book in due course. --By Pallavi Pawar on 2 September 2016

For a person like me who had zero knowledge of Indian mythology devdutt's episodes in epic channel opened new doors for me. This pushed me to buy the book version as well which is well written. Excellent efforts by devdutt. A souvenir that I have gifted to my grandparents as well. Looking fwd to more such editions from devdutt. .. --ByA Customer on 23 July 2016
