Description

In a blend of scholarly insight and lively narrative style, this work unfolds the rich and variegated tapestry of Hindu mythology.

The first part of the book focuses on the manifold avatars of the Lord. It is believed that the Lord reincarnates himself time and again in different forms to combat the forces of evil and strengthen good.

The later part of the book narrates the story of one of the most loving and loved Gods of the Hindu pantheon - the Krishnavtar. Lord Krishna in all his manifestations, ranging from the willful child to the weighty philosopher, is portrayed faithfully.
