Myth = Mithya: A Handbook Of Hindu Mythology by Devdutt Pattanaik

About the Author

***********Coming Soon************

Book Review #35

Myth=Mithya is a fair attempt to solve the complex shrine of Hindu gods. Devdutt, says while Hindus believe there is one God, there 330 million others for every caste, village and household. Understanding this complex web is key to understanding and decoding our beliefs, values and behavior.

I absolutely loved this book. I am a big fan of Hindu mythology and books based on classical references, both of which are at the core of “Myth=Mithya”. I’m not so sure about, how closely the narrative is based on those in the original myth but the author doesn’t deviate from what I already knew about these.

Precisely, the book is written in such a beautiful, brilliant and detailed form that you can’t help but fall in a pleasant “Reading Hypnotism”. I would thoroughly recommend this to all fans of Hindu Mythology and even those who aren’t!

Undoubtedly, one of the best works of Devdutt Pattanaik. (Surely, a go to writer for me now)
