Mahagatha

by Satyarth Nayak

on Nov 21, 2024

Are you familiar with the tale of Shiva versus Krishna or the race between Brahma and Vishnu? Where does Indra try to commit foeticide? Are you aware of Narada's or Maya Sita's monkey face? Or why Chandra cheats, or why Surya plummets from the sky?
Hinduism's Puranas are a universe of wisdom that represent a basic search for solutions, which keeps them timeless. For the first time, an epic illustrated version of 100 of the best legendary stories from these ancient manuscripts has been carefully chosen and assembled. In addition to the well-known tales of devas, asuras, sages, and monarchs, Satyarth Nayak has unearthed lesser-known tales such as the ones in which Harishchandra deceives Varuna, Saraswati curses Lakshmi, and Vishnu is beheaded. In addition, Nayak tells these 100 stories in a special chronological order, starting with Creation during the Satya Yuga and concluding with the arrival of the Kali Yuga. He creates a story that moves through the four yugas, providing constant and natural action, using Puranic markers. It becomes clear from such a reading that these tales are connected to one another in the larger context rather than being isolated incidents. Every event has a history and a future. a cause and consequence. A cycle of karma and karma-phal that is interrelated.

Mahagatha explores the brains of people, demons, and gods in order to gain a better understanding of their motivations. To readers of today, the ageless nature of their impulses resonates across the ages. These 100 stories, which are written in a colorful style with endearing pictures, will educate and amuse you while helping you make previously unimaginable connections between Hindu mythology.
