Gods of India

The cosmos doesn't begin once—it performs. GODS OF INDIA by JD Arden detonates the Indian mythic imagination into cold light: Brahma breathes worlds, Vishnu steadies them, Shiva reduces them to ash, and an unruly galaxy of gods, goddesses, avatars, and tricksters fills the spaces in between.

Arden treats myth like machinery and ritual like weather: intimate, inevitable, and morally jagged. These pages hold lovers and warriors, sages and liars, gods who are river and star, each revealing a different law of being. The prose is concise, fierce, and lyrical—myth stripped of sentiment and restored to its incandescent purpose.

For readers of Hindu mythology, mythic retellings, and anyone hungry for a vivid, uncompromising map of the divine—this is creation, preservation, and annihilation told with precision. Open the book; the cycle is beginning again.
