ABOUT THIS BOOK

Hindu mythology is vast and voluminous. There is so much we don’t know or that has not been
presented in a simplified way, making sense to contemporary times.
This special omnibus edition brings together two bestselling books by Devdutt Pattanaik, India’s
most famous and renowned mythologist. My Gita and My Hanuman Chalisa are part of a series
where Devdutt does ‘darshan’ of the scriptures, not just gods, and helps readers navigate through
scriptures that seem forbidding (Bhagavad Gita) and simple ones whose sophistication is often
overlooked (Hanuman Chalisa).

Indian Approach to Management.
He consults with corporations on leadership and governance, and TV channels on mythological
