About the Book

In this book Myths and Legends from Indian Mythology the Author has picked up sparkling gems of legends from the vast ocean of Sanskrit literature, which illustrate failings of humans and gods and demons as well as their noble deeds with their inevitable pleasant and unpleasant consequences. In a civilization as old as the Hindu Civilization, religion and mythology are so intermingled that it is difficult to establish where religion ends and mythology begins. Religion descended from generation to generation, and as the story was told and retold, human ingenuity and imagination played their part adding colour, exuberance and romance to the text of these tales. Gods and goddesses in the Hindu religion are described in human form to make them easily understandable : And, as all good must have its contra in evil, the Hindu gods - have their counterparts in Daityas to contend against. Apart from Hindu mythological stories, the book also has some Jataka tales which are about Buddha's previous lives. The morals behind the stories are self explanatory. In short, all the stories collected here are full of deep human interest and it is hoped that these will be read with immense delight and profit.
