Deepak Chopra Presents India Authentic Volume 1: The Book Of Shiva by Deepak Chopra, Saurav Mohapatra

1.0

Even though the artwork on the cover catches your eye, this series is not what you think of it. Indian mythology can be by turns exciting,dark and erotic. This series except for a few good ones fall prey to what many of its predecessors did : going down the way of being a tale with morals.

This is in many ways akin to the culture promulgated in India to play the entirety of epics as pure black and white. The stories however are far from these monochrome colors. Needless to say, this series fails to capture the soul on Indian Mythology.

There is only one exception, the tale of Kali. This was the only whiff of fresh air in this entire book.
