La mitología hindú, una de las más antiguas del mundo, es a menudo es tan desconocida como fascinante para el lector occidental. Con una tradición oral que se remonta a más de cinco mil años, los mitos y leyendas del hinduismo son probablemente unos de los más ricos y variados de todos cuantos se han desarrollado, y su religión cuenta con uno de los panteones más diversos y variados. Precisamente, por la enorme cantidad de dioses (más de dos mil, y miles héroes y leyendas), a veces puede resultar confuso adentrarse en este mundo fascinante. En este volumen se presenta un riguroso, completo y bien trazado ensayo en el que poder atisbar la grandeza de los mitos indios. En este volumen, además de los dos textos más representativosa de la mitología hindú el RAMAYANA y el MAHABHARATA, también encontraremos muchas otras leyendas e historias protagonizadas por los héroes y dioses hindúes. También hay capítulos acerca de las figuras más relevantes del panteón hindú, como Krishna, o Shiva, y la aparición de Buda, todo ello presentado de una forma ordenada y de fácil acceso al lector. De la mano de la estudiosa anglo-india Sister Nivedita, que fue una de las primeras en popularizar la cultura hindú en Inglaterra, nos adentramos en los misterios y belleza de una de las mitologías más hermosas. * Sister Nivedita (nacida como Margaret Elizabeth Noble, 1867-1911), fue una escritora, y activista anglo-india, que desarrolló gran parte de su actividad en la India colonial británica de principios del siglo XX.
