Many readers enjoy mythological books and consider the stories and characters to be true. On the other hand, there are readers, who refute these stories as imaginary and baseless.Through this book, I have tried to maintain a logical and scientific view, which lies somewhere in the middle, between these two extreme view. It is for those readers who love to read mythology but at the same time, judge the probable reality(ies) with rational minds. Of course, we can never compare this small book (or booklet?) with the vastness of the Puranas . Rather, it is better to say that it is my first experimental attempt, taking only nine topics of mythology. There are plans to cover about few other topics in the upcoming publications.The topics have been explained in such a way that the mythological part has been discussed in the first part, followed by an analytical discussion around it. Last but not the least, I have emphasised that Hindu mythological epics be regarded as religio-historical literatures, instead of mere religious books.
