Written in the form of essays, musings, and thought experiments, and covering over a hundred lesser-known incidents and stories from Hindu mythology, this volume is a thinking person's companion to the wonderful world of ancient Hindu civilization. Covering the names, places, events, and things in one of the most ancient cultures of the world, this compendium is a modern-day encyclopaedia of Hindu myths and legends. This is not just a storybook. It is a rational enquiry, often witty, sometimes irreverent, always curious, into the nature of these myths that have propelled a large body of art, literature, and social thought for millennia. Written as a series of longform essays over thirteen years, this volume explores the mythical situations in particular, and human condition in general.
