Hindu Mythology: A Captivating Guide to Hindu Myths, Hindu Gods, and Hindu Goddesses (Asian Mythologies)
The stories in Hindu myth stem from traditions within Hinduism, drawing on stories from ancient texts, like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Keep in mind that because different versions of Hinduism inspire different people, many different versions of the stories float through the jungle and over the stones of temples and traditions. The stories in this volume are my version, though I’ve stuck as closely to the original myths and legends as imagination allows. At the end of this book, you’ll find a short bibliography for further research and reading.
Within this book, you'll find the following Hindu myths covered
- Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and the Beginning of the World
