He saved Rama and Lakshmana from the deathly serpent noose unleashed by Ravana’s son Meghnad. 3. Airavata, the mighty white elephant, who could create rain and make any demon quake in fear. As Lord Indra’s magnificent mount, he could cross the entire universe in just a few strides. 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.
