Download or read book Handbook of Hindu Mythology written by George M. Williams and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike many other ancient mythologies, Hinduism thrives in the modern world. One billion followers and countless others have been captivated by its symbolic representations of love, karma, and reincarnation. Handbook of Hindu Mythology offers an informative introduction to this dauntingly complex mythology of multifaceted deities, lengthy heroic tales, and arcane philosophies-all with a 3,000-year history of reinterpretations and adaptations. Williams offers a number of pathways by which to approach Hinduism's ever-changing gods and goddesses (e.g., Brahma, Vishnu, Siva), spiritual verses (such as the vedas), secular epics (including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata), myths within myths, devotional and esoteric traditions, psychic and yogic disciplines, and magical practices. With this handbook, readers can explore the history of Hindu mythology, follow a detailed timeline of key episodes and historical events, and look up specific elements of historical or contemporary Hinduism in a beautifully illustrated reference work. It is the ideal introduction to the origins of Hinduism, the culture that shaped it from antiquity to the present, and the age-old stories, ideas, and traditions that speak to the human condition as eloquently today as ever. Including annotated bibliographies, a glossary of cultural and mythological terms, and numerous illustrations, here is a gold mine of information on Hindu mythology. "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Vishnu is the perpetuator of all life forms and non-living things, in this world. Probably, no other incarnation of Lord Vishnu has been so thoroughly read, written about and enacted as Krishna. This book is a compendium of the tales of Lord Krishna's life. It starts with this birth and ends at the point when He leaves this immortal world, after completing all ethereal tasks. ÿ ÿ These tales have enthralled the readers of all tastes and backgrounds. His name, if chanted, brings peace and prosperity. His leelas, if read or watched, make readers wiser, learned and devotional. Such is the power of Krishna! ÿ ÿ He arrived to demolish the demons and removed chaos from Aryavrat. He gave the Divine Sermon in the form of Geeta, to Arjuna (during the end of the Mahabharata War). Lord is truly a lotus-he undertook all actions of the ethereal world like a true yogi but did not involve himself in its pleasures and agonies.

Book excerpt: As the world trembles on the threshold of Kali Yuga—4,32,000 years of unprecedented evil—it waits for a saviour to rise. Meanwhile, in the dark netherland of the asuras, the meek Vama shudders as he learns that he is actually Pradyumna, the son of Krishna. And that his journey has just begun. From the asura kingdom to Dwaraka and then Kurukshetra, destiny forces him to battle monsters, angry gods and blazing weapons, and overpower his own weaknesses. Will he be able to rise to the challenge in time to save the world? Or is he the destroyer prophesied by Narada?
