Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike many other ancient mythologies, Hinduism thrives in the modern world. One billion followers and countless others have been captivated by its symbolic representations of love, karma, and reincarnation. Handbook of Hindu Mythology offers an informative introduction to this dauntingly complex mythology of multifaceted deities, lengthy heroic tales, and arcane philosophies-all with a 3,000-year history of reinterpretations and adaptations. Williams offers a number of pathways by which to approach Hinduism's ever-changing gods and goddesses (e.g., Brahma, Vishnu, Siva), spiritual verses (such as the vedas), secular epics (including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata), myths within myths, devotional and esoteric traditions, psychic and yogic disciplines, and magical practices. With this handbook, readers can explore the history of Hindu mythology, follow a detailed timeline of key episodes and historical events, and look up specific elements of historical or contemporary Hinduism in a beautifully illustrated reference work. It is the ideal introduction to the origins of Hinduism, the culture that shaped it from antiquity to the present, and the age-old stories, ideas, and traditions that speak to the human condition as eloquently today as ever. Including annotated bibliographies, a glossary of cultural and mythological terms, and numerous illustrations, here is a gold mine of information on Hindu mythology. "

Book excerpt: "The purpose of evolution on earth, and the goal of human life is the realization and manifestation of divinity. Hindu gods and goddesses are divine aspects and energies within human beings and the universe." Sathya Sai Baba, world teacher, discourses on the deep inner meaning of the symbolic gods and goddesses of Hinduism as an aid to understanding and attaining one's innate divine nature. During an interview with Sathya Sai Baba, he read the title of this book Hindu Gods and Goddesses: Truth and Myth and exclaimed, "Hindu Gods, Canadian Gods; there is only one God". In this book, as narrated by Sathya Sai Baba, descriptions of Radha, Krshna, Ganesha, Shiva, Nataraja, Rama, Sita, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, as well as what Sathya Sai Baba has to say about his own powers and divinity. The inner meanings of all the equipments the gods and goddesses carry, the aspects of the divine they represent, and their power and purpose, are beautifully described by Sathya Sai Baba. There are color illustrations for each god and goddess. These illuminating words of Sathya Sai Baba, organized and compiled by Catherine Kapahi, are powerful and enlightening for any seeker of truth, no matter to which cultural or religious background he/she may belong.

Download or read book Hindu Gods and Goddesses in Japan written by Saroj Kumar Chaudhuri and published by Vedams eBooks (P) Ltd. This book was released on 2003 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism introduced many Hindu Gods and Goddesses to the Japanese. The rulers were the first to be attracted to them. Historical records show that they earnestly believed in the miracles of these divinities promised in the sutras. Many miracle stories started appearing in popular literature as the divinities percolated down to the masses. The resulting naturalisation process in the case of some divinities went to the extent that they became an integral part of the native Shinto pantheon. Their popularity remains unabated even today. The Tantric Buddhist sects also played a vital role in propagating the divinities. They regularly worshipped the divinities in their temples where people thronged in large numbers. Many steps in these ceremonies, for instance, the homa ritual, are very familiar to the present-day Hindus. The monks have also produced a considerable volume of religious literature related to these divinities. Descriptions of many divinities show that they have not changed substantially over centuries. A study of these writings also shows that a large volume of Hindu myths and legends related to these deities were transmitted to Japan. These writings are also a testimony to the way the ancestors of the present-day Hindus thought about these deities, say, around the eighth or ninth century of the Christian era.
