Review of "MYTH=MITHYA" by DR. DEVDUTT PATTANAIK

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!

There's definately a DEARTH of good narratives and good writers on the subject of Indian mythology and specially the lesser known stories and symbols, Dr Patnaik has magically appeared on the Indian Non Fiction Mythology scene as a saviour! Kudos to the writer for creating a crisp and to the point concise writeup(yes!Its that crisp!) about the lesser known nitty gritty's of the Ramayan and the Mahabharata, with some snatches also from the Bhagvad Gita,The Skanda Purana and The Linga Purana.. I totally recommend it to you even if you do not read mythology regularly/don't know much about..Give this a go and you'll be hooked on to it...and hey, a little extra knowledge never hurt anyone ;) It may just give you a little extra brownie points in front of the elders!

Review of "The Aryavarta Chronicles Book 1-Govinda" by Krishna Udayasankar

KRISHNA,GOVINDA,GOPAL...All is You and You are All! Amazing!

GOVINDA,KRISHNA,BALGOPAL,GHANSHYAM,GOPAL,GIRDHARI... One of Hindu mythology's favourite gods is presented here in a very human and relatable form and as the Mastermind warrior of the book, you will never ever be left alone to wander away your mind as you will keep gaping and reacting at how he bears forward on his own shoulders the weight of the Mahabharata for he himself is the supreme,the one,the param atma or attained soul! Definately worth a read!
