ABOUT THIS BOOK
The Meaning of Hindu Gods,Goddesses and Myths endeavours to bring to light the scientific concepts which lie hidden in the penumbra of the icons and legends of the deitiies belonging to the Hindu pantheon.Owing to it’s thematic novelty,depth and pervasiveness,the book is the first of it’s kind.It explores fields as diverse as Hindu philosophy,mythology,aesthetics and art to substantiate and supplement the arguments put forth.The book deals with the relevant studies of the human brain,nervous system and the endocrine glands in connection with the multifarious dormant scientific and spiritual ideas like the Purnakumbha,Siva Samudra Manthan,Ganesh,Saraswati,Yama,Chitragupta,Kalpavriksha etc.,The discussion of the concepts of Akashagarbha and Chetanagarbha is altogether new and is capable of stimulating research of the hitherto undiscovered aspect of Indian religious philosophy.It has to be agreed that this book is unique as it deals with complete issues in an extremely lucid manner.It is beyond doubt,an invaluable addition to the treasure of knowledge on Hindu philosophy and art.
