Suryavamsha: The Noble Kings of Ancient India

By Manjunath Dattatreya

What do you look for in a mythological story? Tales of love? War? Scandal? Sacrifice? Success and failure? Pleasure and pain? Life and death? This book isn't just a collection of tales but collective wisdom of ancient Rishis seen through the prism of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. The book narrates some fascinating untold stories from Suryavamsha, the Kshatriya clan that built Ayodhya, also known as the Invincible City. It starts from the beginning of time and culminates to Suryavamsha's eventual disintegration. The stories are extractions from Rig Vedic hymns, Vishnu Purana, Matsya Purana, Shatapata Brahmana and Srimad Bhagvatam. It is a saga that interweaves simple entertaining storytelling from Indian mythology with thrilling scientific plausibility, deep spiritualism from Vedas and Upanishads and intriguing contemporary corporate lessons. Our stories may look bizarre at times, but intellectual curiosity requires you to see that they are full of symbolisms, metaphors and even contradictions. The books makes a sincere attempt to scratch the surface and look for a deeper meaning. So, let us stay curious and see mythology with awe and wonder.
