The Great Indian Epics

The Great Indian Epics: The Stories Of The Ramayana And The Mahabharata is a book written by John Oman that delves into the two most significant epics of ancient India. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, which are considered to be the cornerstones of Indian mythology and culture. The Ramayana is the story of Lord Rama, who is considered to be the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The epic narrates the life of Rama, his exile, his battles with demons, and his ultimate victory over the demon king Ravana, who had abducted his wife Sita. The Mahabharata, on the other hand, is a much larger epic that narrates the story of the Kuru dynasty and the war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The book explores the themes of love, betrayal, loyalty, and righteousness that are central to both epics. It also examines the complex characters of the epics, such as Rama, Sita, Hanuman, Arjuna, and Krishna, and their significance in Indian mythology. The book also provides insights into the cultural and historical context of the epics and their impact on Indian society and religion. Overall, The Great Indian Epics: The Stories Of The Ramayana And The Mahabharata is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Indian mythology, history, and culture.
