Indian Myth and Legend

This book deals with the myths and legends of India, which survive in the rich and abundant storehouse of Sanskrit literature.

The reader is introduced to the various sacred works of the Hindus.

The ancient forest sages and poets of India invested the legendary themes and traditional beliefs with beautiful symbolism and used them as mediums for speculative thought and profound spiritual teaching.

These ennobling ideas are still a potent culturing influence in the domestic, social and religious lives of millions of Indians.
