A Fusion of the Past and the Present
Far from being mere fairy tales or bed-time stories,myths found in every culture and civilization often have their roots in real-life characters and events,preserved through oral tradition over millennia.
The cornucopia of Indian mythology and folklore, enshrined as it is in the four Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas, and the two greatest eternal epics of the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata, is probably the richest in the world.
In the process of retelling many of these timeless classics, the author brings out their contents skillfully, establishing the fusion of past and present.
