Sinopse

Unlock the Hidden Treasures of Ancient Wisdom: Explore Captivating Tales from the Shadows of Hindu Lore
 
In the enchanting world of Indian mythology, where gods play cosmic games and mortals unravel divine riddles, lies a treasure trove of untold stories waiting to ignite your imagination. Forgotten Stories from Indian Mythology by Aidan J. Lloyd transports you beyond the familiar epics of the Mahabharata and Ramayana to reveal lesser-known gems—profound narratives drawn from Vedic hymns, Puranic whispers, and regional folk traditions that have slumbered in obscurity for millennia.
 
Witness Vishnu's enigmatic Mohini avatar outwitting demons with riddles of cosmic illusion during the legendary ocean churning, or explore the secret incarnation of Vaikuntha Kamalaja, the lotus-born sage who sowed seeds of enlightenment across ancient Bharat. Journey with the mischievous sage Narada on his ill-fated quest for romance, only to learn humility through divine trickery. Delve into Brahma's forbidden fifth head, a tale of hubris that reshaped the heavens, and uncover Lakshmi's poignant tests of human generosity, where the goddess of prosperity wanders as a beggar to reveal true abundance.
 
Spanning the snow-kissed Himalayas to Kerala's lush coasts, these authentic tales blend magic, morality, and mysticism, offering timeless lessons on illusion (maya), divine play (lila), and the dance of creation and destruction. Perfect for mythology enthusiasts, spiritual seekers, and lovers of epic fantasies, this collection bridges ancient lore with modern relevance—exploring themes of identity, vulnerability, and cosmic balance that resonate in our chaotic world.
 
Crafted with scholarly depth yet accessible prose, each story pulses with vivid imagery and philosophical insight, inviting readers of all ages to rediscover the soul of Hindu heritage. Whether you're a devotee pondering dharma or a curious explorer of global myths, these hidden legends will enchant, challenge, and transform. Step into the divine lila—your mythic adventure awaits.

    Did man rise up from the protoplasmic crud and evolve over millions of years or are his origins from within the world of the X-Files? Was planet Earth visited and populated by an ancient God-like race of super aliens who spawned a new species of servants? Are humans simply the result of biological engineering that we are now just discovering is possible? 
     
    The fact is, these ancient alien astronauts can be shown to have not only spawned mankind as a genetic species, but also to have originated our very religions and belief systems. They are the gods of ancient times. They are the holy warrior heroes in their silver chariots flying across the sky. They wielded mighty weapons of mass destruction. And now, thousands of years later we are rediscovering this truth. 
     
    We have very strong historical evidence that they came. We have thousands of stories in myths and religious texts speaking of aliens visiting Earth, creating mankind, ruling over them for millennia and even mating with them. We even know that a series of great battles ensued between the originators and their offspring. All of this gave rise to our world religions and it is in the sacred texts and historical writings that we shall discover the truth about the aliens that made us. 
     
    These alien astronauts are the very roots of humanity itself.

    'The National Project for Instilling Fear in the people has reached completion. Before the promised highways and jobs, everybody has been unfailingly given one thing—fear. For every individual, fear is now the daily bread. We are all experiencing fear; it comes to us in many different forms—from the moment we step out of our homes, with so many warnings ringing in our ears... It is only the lapdog media which is safe in India today. Jump into and snuggle down in the lap of authority and nobody will dare say anything to you.' In this book, Ravish Kumar examines why debate and dialogue have given way to hate and intolerance in India, how elected representatives, the media and other institutions are failing us and looks at ways to repair the damage to our democracy. ©Speaking Tiger Publishing Pvt Ltd.
