Man needs to learn english, hindi and sanskrit. He gives incorrect information e.g vedas came 4000 years ago & purana 2000 years. Someone tell this dude that Mahabharat happened some 5200 years ago, Vedas & purana are older. He says Dhyan is about Vairagi life & is Buddhist concept is factually wrong. Dhyan is a concept from Ashtanga Yoga and Dhyan enables you to get Darshan without physically moving and much more. Man is a twister. Don't waste your money.

Maximum topics from the mythology is covered by Devdutt sir. He is the reason for bringing my interest in all these puranic stories. He writes the stories in English that makes it easier to understand. Simply loves his writing and keep inspiring sir. I m waiting for the final part of the book.

देवदुत जी छुप-छुपकर यह कह रहे है की भारतीयों द्वारा लिखित इतिहास केवल कल्पना ओर कहानियां है।।
