\"This book presents the myths that are generally familiar to the Indians themselves, beginning with the famous Ramayana, one of the best tales of chivalry, truth and love ever written. In its simplest form, it is the story of the recovery of a ravished bride - not unlike the Illiad, with which it might share some common source; but it is also the chief account of the Hindu system of caste, vitally important even today, and describes an ideal society, with reincarnation and the concept of karma - that a person's actions in one life bear inevitable fruit in another life. The Mahabharata contains both early and fully developed forms of mythology, demonstrating how the tales evolved in keeping with mankind's understanding of the world around him; and there are also the stories of Krishna, Buddha and Shiva, as well as other tales from the Puranas, epics and Vedas.\"--Jacket
