Book Description
About the Book

‘Puraanam’ is Mythology. ‘Puraa api navam iti Puraanam.’ Mythology, though ancient and fictitious, is modern and true.

Myth is fiction and Truth is fact. Myth cannot be built without truth. Truth cannot be colourful and enticing without myth and fiction. Mythology is meant to present truth picturesquely, beautifully and interestingly. Truth requires the magnifying lens of colourful imagination and fiction to make it magnificent and mighty, enchantingly beautiful. kamadhenu is a mythological wish-fulilling cow-a wonderful combination of bird’s wings, cow’s body and girl’s beautiful face. In mythology, facts are collected and judiciously combined to present truth. Readers are to enjoy the taste of fiction and benefit by the nutritive calories of truth.

An attempt is made in this book to bring out Truth without marring the beauty of the myth.
