Hindu Myths

Hinduism is quite possibly the oldest religion, populated by countless gods, from elephant-headed Ganesha to the fierce Kali. Hindu Myths provides an excellent introduction to the religion’s creation stories, major texts, and principal concerns. It explores such classics as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata (the longest epic in history), along with the puranas, where the gods battle for supremacy; the deities, including Brahma, Vishnu, and Lakshmi; and personalities such as Krishna, Lakshmana, and Hanuman.
