Myths and Legends of the Hindus and Buddhists

by Sister Nivedita and Ananda K. Coomaraswamy

Philosophy, ritual, and mythology are the three pillars of all ancient religions. On the surface these myths may appear to be merely colorful and simply some good stories.

Yet, these are not merely imaginations of a quixotic brain, but are the vehicles of truths and ideas springing from the depths of the human soul.

This fascinating book includes the two great epics of India-the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In addition to this it also contains the classic myths of gods, goddesses, human and superhuman characters from the Indian mythology and other works.

Also included are stories from the Jataka depicting the different births of Buddha prior to his enlightenment retold in a manner guaranteed to enchant young and old alike.
