Garuda Purana
I recently read Devdutt Pattanaik's captivating interpretation of the Garuda Purana. As a renowned mythology expert, Pattanaik masterfully explains the ancient Hindu rituals surrounding death and the afterlife. He delves into the concept of breaking the cycle of rebirth, a fundamental aspect of Hindu mythology, and explores the idea of karma and ancestral debt.
Pattanaik's work also draws intriguing parallels with other faiths, highlighting the contrast between Hinduism's cyclical view of life and the linear perspectives of Christianity and Islam. Additionally, he sheds light on lesser-known aspects, such as the Aghori tradition and its connections to death and the tantric tradition.
Overall, the book offers a fascinating exploration of Hindu mythology and its complex philosophies. I highly recommend reading it!
