The Myths and Gods of India
Author(s): Alain Daniélou
The study of Hindu mythology explores the significance of the most prominent Hindu dieties as they are envisioned by the Hindus themselves. Referred to by its adherents as the "eternal religion," Hinduism recognizes for each age and each country a new form of revelation--and for each person, according to his or her stage of development, a different path of realization.
This widely praised study of Hindu deities reveals the message of tolerance and adaptability at the heart of this ancient religion.
Review(s):
"A pleasure to behold and an invigorating experience to read."
"If you read only one book on Hinduism, it must be Danielou's Myths and Gods of India."
" . . . sheds light on more than just Hindu philosophy and practices, but also on how the Western 'Orientalphiles' have been clearly selective in what they put forward as their vision of India."
