It is a popular belief that
the Ramayana is idealistic, while the Mahabharata is realistic. Yet these two
epics have identical building blocks, identical themes, and identical
history.In this ground-breaking book, Devdutt Pattanaik, India’s most popular
mythologist, explores the similarities and dissimilarities between the two
epics in a ‘playful analysis’ accompanied by his signature illustrations.
Whether it is the family structure, forest exile, or war, the comparison
between the two epics proves a startling point—the Mahabharata is in fact a
reaction to the events in the Ramayana.Ideas in this book are distributed
over 56 chapters. In temple ritual, Vishnu is offered 8 different meals
daily, different on all seven days of the week—56 dishes in all. May each
chapter serve as a mouth-watering offering to the Vishnu within you.
