You have delivered it in a language understood by the modern mind .. yes the Indian mythology, is like an abstract art there in no limit to wt one can see in it, rather it revel s itself according to the evolutionary status of the viewer . And can be adapted at any point of time and in accordance with TIME , like u have shown.

I'm an Indian.... Truly well said.... Best..Sanjay Dear Devdutt,

That was enlightening……reminded me of the words of my father “we see things as we are and not as they are”……a sensitivity I’ve witnessed and have been cognisant of through my career! I’m an Indian….

One,you have no understanding of Indian mythology. You may know the stories but the concept behind the stories, is missing completely. Two, as you say complexity is part of the Indian culture, I believe you fail to understand that we have built a culture that stands on the complex and amazing concepts of vedas, ayurveda and yoga. Not something that the western world who live their lives as a step 1,step 2 and step 3 could have ever built. The human mind was built to think, to conceive to understand and to create not to follow a daily routine of Step A to Step B. If that was all we are supposed to be doing, then how are humans different than any other animals on this planet? Yes we take emotional sensitivity in business which is why rodden with poverty and illiteracy, we can still boast of a culture rich with heritage,tradition and values. Where do you see values in the western world? In the genetically modified seeds, in the Bhopal gas tragedy, in the culture that believes that parents belong to old age homes? Before you compare two cultures, understand the differences, the complexities, the intricacies of each. Do not show your ignorance by judging that, which you know nothing about.

If we think that we human have same type of desires (i.e. desire to grow and overcome our problems (mukti)) then we will not fight with each other based upon races and cultural differences. We will make the whole world as our home. A world with no boundary, a world with one single family, a world with no wars due to race or religion. Lets us spread the truth that we human either it is black or white came from Africa (proved by human genome project). Let us spread the message that we have relation between one another. Lets hope that complete peace to our world. Let there be complete harmony among human kind, all other creatures and nature. Lets grow together to make a perfect world. Thanks for all your mind blowing presentation – where you presented that it all depends upon perception of individual how he interpret a scenario. Everything may be right at same time. It all depends upon perceptions which one you will follow. Both western thoughts and eastern thoughts are correct depending upon the person, his virtue, space and time. Thanks Sibaranjan Pattnayak Dear Sir,
