Like Alakhi, Lakhi, why Saraswati and Lakshmi never stay together, why Lakshmi is so restless, why did Krishnaleave the flute, Why Brahma is never worshipped, etc, etc A wonderful read, taking you back to your roots. A must for all those interested in mythology and history. Oct 11, Gautham rated it it was ok. I would say its not upto the mark.

Jan 04, Mithun Seshadri rated it liked it. Stories from the Epics Mahabharata and Ramayana have been narrated very well. Lovely illustrations of the Goddesses, heavily illustrated images of sculptures from temples of Cambodia and several temples from all over India, and beautiful murals are all great points for the book. List of all the temples at the end of the book would have been great.

Also, the captions of the images and illustrations could have been better. Repetitive themes If you've read Myth vs Mithya, there is no point in getting this. Themes get repeated across his books. That said for someone interested in learning Hindu mythology, this gives a good overview of each avatar of Vishnu. This isn't exactly mythology, more like a demythification of mythology.

The author explains his understanding of the tales from mythology we're aware of, by association with emotions like desire, or material things like wealth. Perhaps it's an attempt to make it more believable, I'm not sure.

I liked reading it. Sep 23, Nirav rated it it was amazing. Devdutt Pattanaik skillfully administers doses of stories and explains the key messages for each of Vishnu's avatars.

Jan 27, Devi Shankar rated it liked it. After reading all 3 books of the secret trilogy, I feel let down by an author like Devdutt Pattanaik, for not being able to bring structure and meaning to the myths. I must say i understand hinduism a whole lot better, and realise the most myths which seem like fiction and hence defy western logic have deep metaphorical meanings that act as tenets of life and spirituality.

However, what would have helped is the author emphasizing the metaphotical implications of the myths rather than occassion After reading all 3 books of the secret trilogy, I feel let down by an author like Devdutt Pattanaik, for not being able to bring structure and meaning to the myths. However, what would have helped is the author emphasizing the metaphotical implications of the myths rather than occassionally speaking of them in passing references. The contents under a chapter do not relate to the title of the chapter in a lot of places, making the reader feel out of context.

Instead of repetition of content, the author could have thrown light on different beliefs of different states for e. Quite a disappointing trilogy for what could have been a great insight into Hinduism. In this book, he explains the significance of Vishnu and his avatars. He explains how Hindu mythology uses gender to communicate metaphysical ideas.

Existence of two realities - material reality and spiritual reality, is a fundamental theme of Indian metaphysics. To realise spiritual reality, one has to experience material reality. And this is what Vishnu lore is all about. I continue to learn so much about true Hinduism from Mr. Pattanaik's books. And he explains it in such a simple manner. I believe a person practicing any religion should be able to understand its underlying concepts and theories. If each one of us really start understanding what our religion is trying to teach, there will be no place for hate in any of our lives.

Jun 01, Indah Jamtani rated it it was amazing. The first and last words of the Bhagavad Geeta is mamah dharma, my dharma, and so it is.. What is considered adharma? Is it the thought or the action that counts? Evil is defined as the absence of God.. In Hinduism, God is omnipotence and omnipresent.. Hindu mythology is about action and reaction, about imagination and devotion. No one thing is pure evil not pure good.. This book explains it beautifully Nov 04, Surya Prakash rated it it was amazing.

A book full of wisdom and relevance for this life. This is my third book read from the author. I am immensely benefiting from the truth which has been shared in such a succinct form.

It dispels the fundamentals of life which will make a person live a life of a householder, enjoying the pleasures of life and at the same time not be consumed by it. The Hindu way of life has two paths for spiritual ascendancy, the first A book full of wisdom and relevance for this life. The Hindu way of life has two paths for spiritual ascendancy, the first one is the path of a hermit which is expounded in the represention of Shiva and the second path as a common man, a house holder with a representation of Vishnu who is close to most humans way of life.

Neither of them is superior over the other. It is just a choice. Both will lead to liberation and Eternal Bliss. Good level of research Author has focused on Vishnu and his avatars as obvious from the title.

Unfortunately, he has covered only common topics so that it does not look abstract to those new to Hindu mythology. However, he has provided his interpretation of various symbols which are not likely found in any ancient scripture.

I am not subject matter expert and may be completely wrong in my inference But overall a very good read Home Books Mythology. Buy at.
