About this listen

You might know that Greek gods interfered on both sides of the Trojan War, but did you know that Hindu gods fought alongside both the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Mahabharata? In the same way the ancient Egyptians worshiped Ra above all else, did you know that the monkey-god, Hanuman, gained his wisdom from the sun? Did you know that Krishna and Hercules are often linked to a past that includes Alexander the Great's conquests? And just as Noah had his ark, one of Lord Vishnu's avatars had a similar tale for Hinduism. All of us share the same stories because the things that unite us are far greater than the things that divide us.

I wrote this book because I wanted my loved ones to hear about Rama and Krishna and Saraswati as they also learned of Thor and Hercules, of Horus and Ra, of Noah, and Moses. In these 25 tales, you will be immersed in Hinduism in a way that highlights the traits I found most compelling in my research - tales of love, pride, virtue, and fate.

This resulted in an account that was fresh and informative in so many aspects, yet without being overly pedagogical or academic. "The Trojan War" is an academically thorough and challenging work written and presented for the popular audience. I highly recommend this book to anyone just beginning to be interested in the story of Troy or of Ancient Greece for that matter.

A New History, Indeed!

I really enjoyed this brief but descriptive intro to Hinduism, but gets a little repetitive and could be longer. Hope to read more like it

Great read, just short

It would be nice to have a glossary of an English translation of the ancient words at the back of the book. Easy to understand! A great introduction to Buddhism. Very happy I got this book - 😊 a very satisfying purchase.

Impressive!

A short and precise overview of Hinduism for Western religions and cultures and the one who doesn't have any idea about Hinduism. This book provides an introduction of the Hindu belief system, main gods and rituals, their holy books and a brief about their method of worship.
