An exploration of 99 classic myths of India from an entirely non-Western paradigm that provides a fresh understanding of the Hindu spiritual landscape

- Compares and contrasts Indian mythology with the stories of the Bible, ancient Egypt, Greece, Scandinavia, and Mesopotamia

- Looks at the evolution of Indian narratives and their interpretations over the millennia

- Demonstrates how the mythology, rituals, and art of ancient India are still vibrant today and inform the contemporary generation

From the blood-letting Kali to the mysterious Ganesha, the Hindu spiritual landscape is populated by characters that find no parallel in the Western spiritual world. Indian Mythology explores the rich tapestry of these characters within 99 classic myths, showing that the mythological world of India can be best understood when we move away from a Western, monotheistic mindset and into the polytheistic world of Hindu traditions.

Featuring 48 artistic renderings of important mythological figures from across India, the author unlocks the mysteries of the narratives, rituals, and artwork of ancient India to reveal the tension between world-affirming and world-rejecting ideas, between conformism and contradiction, between Shiva and Vishnu, Krishna and Rama, Gauri and Kali. This groundbreaking book opens the door to the unknown and exotic, providing a glimpse into the rich mythic tradition that has empowered millions of human beings for centuries.

Durability
Color: Green, Pattern Name: Hammerhead Shark
I have a lab puppy and she LOVES to chew and tear anything that she can up. I bought this being a little bit hesitant by some of the reviews but I will say she has not torn out the squeaker yet,. And it’s pretty loud too (it’s been almost two weeks) and the plastic is pretty durable. The only negative I have to say is the plastic does it sharp ( I’ve almost cut myself on it) but that doesn’t seem to affect her. So overall I’d say this is a great product if your dog needs something durable yet chewable.

A Huge Hit in My Bully Breed House!
Color: Green, Pattern Name: Hammerhead Shark
I have a house full of bully breeds, and this hammerhead shark toy is by far one of their favorites. I’ve actually bought a few of them so there are extras around the house — otherwise they’d all be fighting over the same one! That alone tells you how much they love it. The shape makes it easy for them to grab, chew, and toss around, and the squeaker keeps them interested without being obnoxiously loud. What really impressed me is the durability. My dogs are serious chewers, and we’ve had these for a while now. They’re still going strong, which is saying a lot in this house. The combination of rubber and nylon seems to hold up really well to heavy chewing. The bacon scent definitely helps keep their attention, and I like that I can add a little peanut butter for extra enrichment. It keeps them busy and off my furniture — always a win. If you have strong chewers, especially bully breeds, this one is absolutely worth picking up. Durable, fun, and clearly dog-approved in this house.

Finally a Toy My Aggressive Chewer Can’t Destroy
Color: Green, Pattern Name: Hammerhead Shark
My dog is an extremely aggressive chewer, and finding toys that last more than a few minutes has always been a challenge. Most toys are destroyed almost immediately, but this one has held up incredibly well. He chews on it constantly, and it still hasn’t been destroyed!
