About this audiobook
When we talk about mythology, we often think of the Greeks or the Romans. Many people forget, however, that the historical country India, with more than one billion citizens, has a mythological heritage as well. In this audiobook, we’ll dive deeper into that heritage and the beliefs and religions that have contributed to it.
You’ll hear about things like:
- The significance of cows, the multiple arms, and the symbolical color blue in Hindu mythology.
- The meaning of Namaskar in Hindu mythology.
- The main characteristics of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and other gods and goddesses in the Hindu religion.
- Some of the most intriguing tales from Hindu mythology.
- An overview of the Hindu demons.
- Marriage practices and matrimonies in ancient India.
Indian Mythology is an interesting topic for those who try to understand the South Asian culture and come to a more comprehensive level of knowing their background and history.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I listened to this audiobook, and it was absolutely inspiring. You gotta love something like this. This book took them a lot of time to write and narrate. I've observed that certain books are practically garbage, and that grieves me. But this specific audiobook didn't follow that pattern. It's actually truly good. So, I love it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audiobook has plenty of wonderful material. I listened to this audiobook, and it was absolutely inspiring. It's an appealing idea, the whole premise of this book. You don't typically see that in some other books. And that's exactly why it can use a person like me to write a few positive aspects of it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have absolutely no complaints about this particular book. The 5 stars ought to be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me. I feel it's so good that it should have 6 stars. I understand I am definitely not the best of testimonial writers, but this is worthy of appreciation. The author and narrator have obviously put a lot time and energy into these books.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you ask me, there is perhaps nothing greater on the market about this topic. Knowing so many new aspects of this concept was informing, to say the least. It was a breath of fresh air. I truly appreciated it. In my eyes, it was simply one of those audio books you can not avoid. You can not overlook it, because it is one of the best in the market. I may become repetitive here, but that's simply how I think about it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's nice to tune in to a book such as this one. In my opinion, it was simply one of those audio books you can not skip. You can not ignore it, since it is one of the best on the market. I might become repetitious here, but that's just how I think of it. I gained from this book. It was really an eye-opener. I was wanting to discover more about this subject anyway, so it was no accident that I came across this book. I listened to it, and certainly not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was looking for.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Really useless. Please read something by an Indian writer. Puranas are a collection of Indian mythology.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have zero criticisms about this specific book. I could probably mention twenty points why I appreciate this book, but my time is actually limited, so this review may not be too lengthy. I am trying to say something bad about this audiobook, but I can't. It's simply too great. So without any further exaggeration, I simply think everybody must think about listening to it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hi there, I merely intended to publish a couple of phrases of recommendation. The 5 stars need to be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me. I think it's so great that it ought to get 6 stars. I don't always appreciate any books, but this caught the eye. And since it did, I began listening to it. It was some of the best time I spent, particularly since I was doing other tasks in the meantime.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Narrator was good, but the text was too limited in scope. Basically had a wiki page read to me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I liked this subject, so I bought this book. I am trying to mention one thing bad about this audio book, but I can't. It's just way too good. So without more exaggeration, I just think everyone must consider listening to it. This is the supreme mix of a fantastic storyteller and a terrific author, who partnered and chose to turn this book into a valuable item. Good for them.
