About this listen

In The Stories We Tell: Mythology to Make Sense of Modern Lives, renowned mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik presents 72 tales from India’s rich treasure of myths and legends. These stories, ranging from folk tales in Andhra Pradesh on Lakshmana to Vedic stories on Indra, urge you to reconsider ideas of good, bad, love, faith and culture. What if we consider Apsaras as Renaissance women? Why do so many cultures, from Punjab to Kerala, Thailand to Tamil Nadu, celebrate the same festival of spring under different names? What if we re-examine the Ramayana not as the tale of a hero, but as a love story? Is there any other way of looking at Duryodhana, instead of the usual disgust we reserve for the villain?

Originating from the author’s webcast Tea Time Tales, this collection of stories is narrated in his inimitable style and offers a fresh and insightful take on how our mythology affects our lives today.
