Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite There is a Holy Trinity of Hindu gods: Brahma (who is often considered the main god, the Creator), Vishnu (the Preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer or transformer of the universe). Each god has their own unique manifestation of the Divine and each one has a family with offspring that are also gods, but minor gods. Like all religious beliefs, Hinduism is full of stories about these gods, their creation, and their manifestations. It can be both an exciting and confusing exercise to study Hindu gods, but their stories can be broken down and simplified for all to understand. Lakshmi Narayani's children's book, Hindu Mythology Stories: Hindu Gods, Goddesses and Their Stories, is a great way to introduce Hindu gods to young readers. The author has compiled a selection of stories significant to the Hindu deity manifestations. Each story is told with care, providing enough backstory to make sure the young reader isn't confused by all the details. The book is well laid out. There are boldly colorful illustrations depicting the gods which add another interesting dimension to this collection. This book is a fascinating introduction to Hindu gods and Hindu mythology. Although written for young readers, this book will certainly spark interest in older readers as well.
