Hindu mythology sources

Hindu mythology are narratives found in Hindu texts such as the Vedic literature like Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Hindu mythology shares the creative principles and human values found in mythology everywhere. The Hindu legends embed the Indian thought about the nature of existence, the human condition and its aspirations through an interwoven contrast of characters, the good against the evil, the honest against the dishonest, the dharma-bound lover against the anti-dharma bully, the gentle and compassionate against the cruel and greedy. In these myths, everything is impermanent including matter, love and peace. Magic and miracles thrive, gods are defeated and fear for their existence, triggering wars or debates. Death threatens and re-threatens life, while life finds a way to creatively re-emerge thus conquering death. The Hindu mythologies integrate in a wide range of subjects. They include stories about how and why cosmos originated (cosmogony), how and why humans or all life forms originated  along with each's strengths and weaknesses, how gods originated along with each's strengths and weaknesses, the battle between good gods and bad demons, human values and how humans can live together, resolve any disagreements, healthy goals in stages of life and the different ways in which each individual can live, the meaning of all existence and means of personal liberation as well as legends about what causes suffering, chaos and the end of time with a restart of a new cycle .
