Water's Myth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798901767276)

The Water's Myth explores hindu Mythology to understand how the ancient Indians viewed the environment, especially the critical element of water. The main focus of this work is the reimagination and retelling of stories that have come down to us through the generations. The artworks and accompanying commentary shows how in ancient Indic thought, they wove together Nature with the Divine in an attempt to better preserve the world around them. The book is important as a compendium of hindu myths from around the country, some in danger of being lost. At a time when water is fast becoming a scarce commodity, it also offers another way to inculcate the traditions of environmental consciousness the ancients had, in our future generations.
