7 Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art


Hindu Calendar Art may be gaudy and kitsch, but it is the most modern and democratic expression of a mythic imagery that once adorned temple walls and palm leaf manuscripts. They speak a language that is indifferent to rationality. It is the language of a people’s faith. In this book, Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik, India’s renowned mythologist, translates this language and reveals an ancient Indian truth that will certainly impact your life.Content:Ganesha’s secret – Different people see God differentlyNarayana’s secret – What dies is always rebornArdhanari’s secret – God is within, Goddess withoutShiva’s secret – Withdrawal leads to destructionDevi’s secret – Desire and destiny create lifeVishnu’s secret – Detached engagement brings orderBrahma’s secret – Human life is an opportunity
