Book synopsis

Indian Mythology is a living mythology unlike other ancient mythologies like Greek or Egyptian mythologies. We in India have one of the biggest,most varied and oldest stories ever told. Mythology is traditional truth born out of collective experience and memory.

This book contains little known stories from various parts of India. Some of them are different versions of familiar tales but from a different perspective. For example Draupadi's protectors is a little know very woman centric story of the disrobing of Draupadi very different from the mainstream ones we have heard.

All the stories entertain but carry subtle messages on life, many are written with humour. I have retold the stories as simply as I could and have tried to create the stories as I heard them in the many languages of India.

These are oral stories many of them and I have tried to keep that flavour of the oral tradtion as much as it is possible.

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed hearing them and retelling it here in the book.
