Mythquest Omnibus 3: Divine Creatures (3-Books-In-1)

Anu Kumar

Meet a thrilling trio of extraordinary mythological characters!

1. Jambavana, the great bear king, who led the vanara army in its search for Sita. Not only did he come to Rama's aid against Ravana, but he also helped to restore the stolen precious gem, the Syamantakamani, to King Satrajit and clear Krishna's name.

2. Narasimha, half-man and half-lion, ferocious and fearsome, yet a protector of those in need. He is the avatar of Lord Vishnu venerated as a destroyer of evil.

3 . Sheshanaga, the all-powerful and wise serpent king, who fought great battles. He carried the underworld on his many hoods, and Lord Vishnu rested on his immense coils.

The stories of these divine beings will take you deep into a wondrous world of celestial creatures and magical transformations, supreme sacrifices and courageous campaigns for rightfulness.

This illustrated volume of three books brings alive timeless tales from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas, the Puranas and other classic texts of Indian mythology.

Read them all...and become a myth-master!
