    Extractions: Choice The Mahapuranas embody the received tradition of Hindu mythology. This anthology contains fresh translations of these myths, only a few of which have ever been available in English before, thus providing a rich new portion of Hindu mythology. The book is organized into six chapters. "Origins" contains myths relating to creation, time, and space. "Seers, Kings and Supernaturals" relates tales of rivers, trees, animals, demons, and men, particularly heroes and sages. Myths about the chief gods are dealt with in three separate chapters: "Krsna," "Visnu," and "Siva." The chapter "The Goddess" presents stories of the wives and lovers of the gods, as well as of Kali, the savage battle goddess. In their introductions, the editors provide a historical setting in which to discuss Hindu mythology as well as a full analysis of its basic sources. The many names given the gods and goddesses in the Sanskrit texts have been retained since their multiplicity is an essential part of the richness of the original. The editors have provided a thorough glossary to make these names accessible.

    Extractions: Roughly the size of Europe, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Urals, the Indian subcontinent is home to peoples of various backgrounds, speaking different languages and following their own religious and cultural traditions. To claim that almost each state of this vast country is a land in its own right is no exaggeration. The cohesive force uniting the Hindu majority is a social structure firmly grounded in shared religious beliefs and ethic principles expressed in a wealth of myths, which form the backbone of Hindu religion and culture. Some of the earliest vestiges of religious traditions in the Indian subcontinent are cult figurines dated in the middle of the third millennium BC. These were found at Mohenjo Daro and Harappa in present day Pakistan, two of the most important sites associated with the Indus Civilization. Some scholars link these figurines of goddesses, animals, trees and sexual emblems to the beginnings of Hindu religion.

    Extractions: Sacred-texts Classical Paganism Index Previous ... Next CHAPTER XXXVII. EASTERN MYTHOLOGY- ZOROASTER- HINDU MYTHOLOGY- CASTES- BUDDHA- GRAND LAMA. ZOROASTER. OUR knowledge of the religion of the ancient Persians is principally derived from the Zendavesta, or sacred books of that people. Zoroaster was the founder of their religion, or rather the reformer of the religion which preceded him. The time when he lived is doubtful, but it is certain that his system became the dominant religion of Western Asia from the time of Cyrus (550 B.C.) to the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great. Under the Macedonian monarchy the doctrines of Zoroaster appear to have been considerably corrupted by the introduction of foreign opinions; but they afterwards recovered their ascendency. Zoroaster taught the existence of a supreme being, who created two other mighty beings and imparted to them as much of his own nature as seemed good to him. Of these, Ormuzd (called by the Greeks Oromasdes) remained faithful to his creator, and was regarded as the source of all good, while Ahriman (Arimanes) rebelled, and became the author of all evil upon the earth. Ormuzd created man and supplied him with all the materials of happiness; but Ahriman marred this happiness by introducing evil into the world, and creating savage beasts and poisonous reptiles and plants. In consequence of this, evil and good are now mingled together in every part of the world, and the followers of good and evil- the adherents of Ormuzd and Ahriman- carry on incessant war. But this state of things will not last for ever. The time will come when the adherents of Ormuzd shall everywhere be victorious, and Ahriman and his followers be consigned to darkness for ever.

77. The Best Reviews: Anna L. Dallapiccola, Hindu Myth Review
    REVIEW. A express journey through hindu mythology . Also, this book makes no reference to one of the driving narrative devices in hindu mythology.  
    http://thebestreviews.com/book8772
    
    Extractions: R EVIEW Anna L. Dallapiccola's book makes a valiant attempt at capturing the contents of several colossal Hindu mythological narrations from Hindu epics, including the Mahabaratha, Ramayana, Devi Bagavatham, and Sivapuranas. The slim book's introduction presents a sketch of the Hindu deities, mythology, and Hinduism. Dallapiccola explains how the Nataraja's five divine activities of creation, preservation, destruction, power of delusion, and the bestowal of grace inspired her to structure the book's five chapters. This thematic structure dissolves within the chapters where the author uses narratives in randomly, allowing for discontinuity and difficulty in understanding the more subtle spiritual and ethical messages connoted in the mythology. The first chapter explores the theme of creation in Hindu mythology and narrates two stories from the Dashavathara, The 10 reincarnations of Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation. While these illustrate the Hindu concept of creation being a cyclic process, the reader is not made aware of the existence of eight more stories until the second chapter. The next two chapters deal with the themes of preservation and destruction. Dallapiccola has taken the limited view of Vishnu as the preserver and Shiva as the destroyer in the pantheon of Hindu gods. She goes into details about two of Vishnu's human incarnation Rama and Krishna and their heroic roles of preserving the world and slants the several incarnations of Shiva or Devi as destroyers. Hindu mythology in it's wholeness also depicts Vishnu as the destroyer of evil and Shiva and Devi the preserver of good.

    http://www.largeprintreviews.com/hindumyth.html
    
    Extractions: Hindu Myths is the newest edition to the Legendary Past Series . This is a series of books from the University of Texas Press that detail the mythology of various cultures from around the world. Other volumes in this series include, Aztec and Maya Myths, Greek Myths, Norse Myths, Russain Myths , and many more. In this newest edition to the series, Anna L. Dallapiccola presents a concise overview of Hindu Mythology - and its history. Containing more than 35 illustrations, this volume explains the basics of the Vedic religion and the development of modern day Hinduism. She also explores the basic structure of the Hindu pantheon and provides short 'biographies' of the major deities, including Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, and Brahma. Dallapiccola also explains the evolution of Hindu mythology, and how it came to permeate the very fabric of Indian society. Building upon this brief, but thorough introduction to Hindu myth, Dallapiccola devotes one full chapter to each of the "five divine activities," i.e., "creation, preservation, destruction, the power of delusion and the bestowal of grace, the five activities shared by all Hindu deities." (Pg. 15.) Each of these chapters begins with a brief discussion of the activity under discussion, followed by an investigation of some of the myths that illustrate various deities performing the activity. The book concludes with a section devoted to the application of Hindu Myth to modern Indian culture - including its use in film and on TV, the rise of new deities, such as Santoshi Mata who 'emerged' in the 1950's, and how Hindu myth is represented in modern Art.
