La mitología hindú, una de las más antiguas del mundo, es a menudo es tan desconocida como fascinante para el lector occidental. Con una tradición oral que se remonta a más de cinco mil años, los mitos y leyendas del hinduismo son probablemente unos de los más ricos y variados de todos cuantos se han desarrollado, y su religión cuenta con uno de los panteones más diversos y variados.

De la mano de la estudiosa anglo-india Sister Nivedita, que fue una de las primeras en popularizar la cultura hindú en Inglaterra, nos adentramos en los misterios y belleza de una de las mitologías más hermosas. * Sister Nivedita (nacida como Margaret Elizabeth Noble, 1867-1911), fue una escritora, y activista anglo-india, que desarrolló gran parte de su actividad en la India colonial británica de principios del siglo XX.
