Book Description

Unlike many other ancient mythologies, Hinduism thrives in the modern world. One billion followers and countless others have been captivated by its symbolic representations of love, karma, and reincarnation. This is a dauntingly complex mythology of multifaceted deities, lengthy heroic tales, and arcane philosophies, with a 3,000-year history of reinterpretations and adaptations.
