What is Classic Tales from Mystic India about?
Stories Of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha And Krishna And From The Ramayana And Mahabharata King Kubera Was The Greediest Man In The World. Hated And Feared By Many, He Schemed To Win The Love Of The Beautiful Goddess Parvati... But Learned An Important Lesson When He Invited Her Elephantheaded Son Ganesha To Lunch One Day... Thus Goes One Of The Many Delightful Tales In This Decidedly Grownup Book Of Traditional Indian Stories, Retold For The Modern Reader. Author Kamla K. Kapur’s Connection To These Agoold Stories Is The Reverent Yet Individualistic Kind We Might Expect From Someone Whose Introduction Is Of Her Hometown, Where Naked, Dreadlocked Holy Men Speed About On Motorbikes. To Collect These Stories, Kapur Relied On Ancient Sacred Texts, Modern Scholarship And Chance Encounters With Interesting People Who Just Happened To Know A Really Good One About The Time That Vishnu Sank Into The Ocean, Was Incarnated As A Pig, And Had A Really Wonderful Time. Like Myths Around The World, These Are Teaching Stories That Offer Both A Window Into A Fascinating Culture That Has Existed For Thousands Of Years, And A Code For Living That Can Be Applied To The Modern World.
