মিথ্যা-হিন্দি (মিথক) দেবদত্ত পট্টনায়েকের

This passage introduces a book by Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik that explores the complex and seemingly contradictory nature of Hindu mythology. It highlights how Hinduism encompasses both unity and diversity—worshipping a singular God along with 330 million gods associated with different aspects of life. The book aims to decode these paradoxes and explain myths, symbols, and rituals. Using sacred stories, illustrations, and commentary, Pattanaik sheds light on the deeper meanings of Hindu myths—such as the surprising fates of the Kauravas and Pandavas, or the dual nature of gods like Kali and Gauri. The ultimate goal of the work is to enrich readers by helping them understand that myths are not to be discarded but embraced for their continuing relevance.
