CONNECTING THE DOTS OF HINDU MYTHOLOGY

Do you know of the story in which Brahma and Vishnu race against each other, or the one in which Shiva battles Krishna? Do you know about Maya Sita or Narada’s monkey face? The Puranas of Hinduism embody a fundamental quest for answers. Here, 100 of the greatest mythological tales from these ancient texts have been handpicked and compiled into an epic illustrated edition. Besides popular legends of devas, asuras, sages and kings, Satyarth Nayak has dug up lesserknown stories, such as the one in which Vishnu is beheaded or the one where Saraswati curses Lakshmi. He begins with Creation in Satya Yuga and ends with the advent of Kali Yuga. Using Puranic markers, he constructs a narrative that goes through the four yugas. Written in lively prose, with charming illustrations, these tales entertain and enlighten.
