Creation, self control and morality.
With only a slight acquaintance with Hindu mythology, this reader was keen to know more. This book, as well as introducing some of the stories, also covered the narrative outline of the two epic poems, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, both of which are very long (the former encompassing 18 books) as well as dating back many hundreds of years. Both poems act as spiritual and life lesson teaching guides and this book has helped in the selection of which to read. It also includes a brief analysis of the Gita, one of the volumes of the Mahabharata and it's value in both spiritual and everyday life.
One of the most interesting parts of this book was the outlined Creation myths, the Cosmic Egg and the four great yugas, cycles of growth and destruction.
The narration by Oliver Hunt was eloquent, clearly read at a speed which allowed for the information to be absorbed. He also effortlessly pronounced the sometimes challenging names. His is a pleasant, well modulated English accented voice that made an excellent foil for the text.
With such an enormous subject to cover, including, as the author admits, contradictory texts since the stories are drawn from vast regions of place and time, this small volume acts as a good introduction. This reader would, however, preceded a greater elaboration on the epic poems rather than the short individual tales about the gods, for example, the 3rd She of Shiva, or the tale of the war of the churning sea of milk. So many unfamiliar names for the novice to take on board in a tiny space of time.
Overall, however, a good introduction, well told. My thanks to the rights holder of Hindu Mythology, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. It has certainly encouraged me to look more deeply into the subject.
