India is the mother and guardian of our common ancient Indo-Aryan culture. One of the oldest and undoubtedly the most mysterious of world civilizations. The cradle of humanity and the place where the sky touches the earth.
For centuries, Europeans tried to unravel the great mystery of Indian wisdom. Mystics, starting from the times of the Gnostics and Christ, were interested in the secrets of the Brahmins.
In the nineteenth century, India first lifted the veil of mystery over its treasures, - and then Europeans were introduced to myths and legends, scientific and philosophical treatises, and fairy tales never seen before. To this day, the light of Indian wisdom, which charmed pragmatic English travelers, has not dimmed.
French decadents, Russian poets of the Silver Age, beatniks, and rock stars of the sixties drew inspiration from Indian mythology.
Many years have passed since then, and now the myths and legends of India are accessible to everyone. This unique edition will mentally transport you to the banks of the mighty Ganges River and offer a genuine experience of getting acquainted with the most original
