The stories in Hindu myth stem from traditions within Hinduism, drawing on stories from ancient texts, like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Keep in mind that because different versions of Hinduism inspire different people, many different versions of the stories float through the jungle and over the stones of temples and traditions.

This audiobook contains an easily accessible overview of the Hindu religion, with a focus on those coming from the Western religions and cultures.

In modern Hindu societies, practices like nonviolence, cow protection, vegetarianism, and giving food to God are quite prevalent. These are vital to the Hindu worldview and are connected to one another. Intriguingly, Hindu vegetarianism has certain philosophical roots.

Or that a human who consumes animal byproducts won't pass through the afterlife as a sacrificial creature? Consequently, ...
