{"product_id":"myth","title":"Myth","description":"\u003cp\u003eA decoding of Hindu mythology Hindus have one God. They also have 330 million gods: male gods; female gods; personal gods; family gods; household gods; village gods; gods of space and time; gods for specific castes and particular professions; gods who reside in trees; in animals; in minerals; in geometrical patterns and in man-made objects. Then there are a whole host of demons. But no Devil. In this groundbreaking book Dr Devdutt Pattanaik; one of Indias most popular mythologists; seeks an answer to these apparent paradoxes and unravels an inherited truth about life and death; nature and culture; perfection and possibility. He retells sacred Hindu stories and decodes Hindu symbols and rituals; using a unique style of commentary; illustrations and diagrams. We discover why the villainous Kauravas went to heaven and the virtuous Pandavas (all except Yudhishtira) were sent to hell; why Rama despite abandoning the innocent Sita remains the model king; why the blood-drinking Kali is another form of the milk-giving Gauri; and why Shiva wrenched off the fifth head of Brahma. Constructed over generations; Hindu myths serve as windows to the soul; and provide an understanding of the world around us. The aim is not to outgrow myth; but to be enriched and empowered by its ancient; potent and still relevant language.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 198 x 15 x 129\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Devdutt Pattanaik\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780143423324\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 227\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48357078663321,"sku":"10RC9780143423324","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/Myth_Devdutt_Pattanaik.jpg?v=1784802138","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/myth","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
