Said to be the world's longest poem, Mahabharata was originally composed in 100,000 Sanskrit verses by the ancient Indian sage Vyasa. Revered as a sacred text within Hinduism, it contains the great spiritual teaching Bhagavad-gita. Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers, sons of the Emperor Pandu.

According to the Australian government’s website, at the time of first contact with Europeans, there were some 500 distinct Indigenous nations, speaking different languages and following their own religious and cultural practices. As with all human societies, that of the Indigenous Australians is abounding in stories. Stories of how the world came to be the way it is, stories of heroism and perfidy, stories about animals and birds, and stories about love and hate all have parts to play in the wide array of myths, legends, and tales created by Indigenous Australians.

The Aztecs believed offerings of human blood and human lives were necessary to the continued running of the universe. Indeed, in Aztec myths, the gods themselves make sacrifices of their own blood and even of their entire bodies in order to create a universe humans can live in and, in one story, to create humans themselves. To the ancient Aztecs, these practices seemed fitting, necessary, and honorable, helping to connect the world of humans to the divine world of the gods, a universe that in Aztec myth took shape in cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth.

African folktales come in many different types. Some are myths explaining the origins of things, while others are tales of heroes with supernatural abilities. Animal stories are many and varied, and they usually involve some kind of trickster who uses his wiles to get out of sticky situations and sometimes into them. There are also cautionary tales explaining why it is important to behave well and treat others with respect, while other stories have a style and shape similar to that of a fairy tale.

Publisher's Summary
Explore captivating Hindu myths of Hindu gods and goddesses
The stories in Hindu myth stem from traditions within Hinduism, drawing on stories from ancient texts, like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Keep in mind that because different versions of Hinduism inspire different people, many different versions of the stories float through the jungle and over the stones of temples and traditions. The stories in this volume are my version, though I’ve stuck as closely to the original myths and legends as imagination allows. At the end of this audiobook, you’ll find a short bibliography for further research.
Within this book, you'll find the following Hindu myths covered:
- Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and the Beginning of the World
- The Birth of Lord Shiva
- Saraswati & Brahma’s Fifth Head
- Shiva Tests Parvati
- Shiva Snares a Whale
- Ganesha Loses His Head
- Ganesha Spills a River
- Kubera’s Pride
- Ganesha Injures a Goddess
- Ganesha Wins a Race
- Shiva Skips Success
- Ravana’s Ten Heads
- The Birth of Rama
- Urmila’s Slumber
- Deer of Deception
- Hanuman’s Torch
- Suvannamachha Steals a Bridge
- Hanuman Moves a Mountain
- The Final Battle

Horrible pronunciations
The narrator had a really cringey Western American accent, and pronounced so many names with wild inaccuracy.
And lest you cry prejudice against Americans, I'm saying this AS an American, haha.
I'm not Hindu, but I know enough (due to having Indian coworkers) to know that this narrator did not look up the correct pronunciations for MANY of the names.
I'm just so baffled by this — both by the unprofessionalism of not looking up these pronunciations, and the odd decision to choose a Western American narrator in the first place.
Would it have been so hard to find an Indian narrator?? Even a second generation Indian who wouldn't have a strong Indian accent but would still generally know how to pronounce the names??
It's not like this is an ancient, lost mythology... this is from a religion that a billion people still follow... and you didn't bother to get the names right?
I'm ranting but I'm just so annoyed by the lack of effort here.
The retelling of the stories themselves was fine though. But the narration really threw me off.
