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.

    How close are we to myth, race memory? Do they infiltrate our minds? 
    Seamus Cashman's new collection, Clowns & Acrobats, swerves headily into a modern world of questionings, parenthood, relationships, conscience and death, while eyeing the poet;s close personal sense of history and celebratory myth. The exercise of power, the eccentricity of ideas, the magic of imaginings, the flow of language, an incredible musicality and the use – and abuse – of traditional forms here merge to delight the reader.

    'Tremendous ... We all need to take stock, and this is the ideal starting point. I learnt a lot from this book and laughed a lot too.' ROSAMUND YOUNG, author of The Secret Life of Cows
    
    Since highland cattle ransacked his grandmother's vegetable patch when he was six, Roger Morgan-Grenville has been fascinated by cows.
    
    
    So at the age of 61, with no farming experience, he signed on as a part- time labourer on a beef cattle farm to tell their side of the story. The result is this lyrical and evocative book.
    
    
    For 10,000 years, cow and human lives have been intertwined. Cattle have existed alongside us, fed and shod us, quenched our thirst, and provided a thousand other tiny services, and yet most of us know little about them. We are also blissfully unaware of the de-natured lives we often ask them to lead.
    
    
    Part history, part adventure and part unsentimental manifesto for how we should treat cows in the 21st century, Taking Stock asks us to think carefully about what we eat, and to let nature back into food production.

    "The most important contribution to the sociology of religion since Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" (Commonweal). 
     
     
     
    Acclaimed scholar and sociologist Peter L. Berger carefully lays out an understanding of religion as a historical, societal mechanism in this classic work of social theory. Berger examines the roots of religious belief and its gradual dissolution in modern times, applying a general theoretical perspective to specific examples from religions throughout the ages. Building upon the author's previous work, The Social Construction of Reality, with Thomas Luckmann, this book makes Berger's case that human societies build a "sacred canopy" to protect, stabilize, and give meaning to their worldview.
