Hindu Mythology - A Brief Survey

Every Hindu myth is different; all Hindu myths are alike. Each Hindu myth celebrates the belif that the universe is boundlessly various, that everything occurs simultaneously, that all possiblities may exist without, excluding the other. There is no single basic version of a Hindu myth; each is told and retold with a number of minor and major variations over the years. Great myths are richly ambigious and elusive; their truths cannot be filed away into scholar's neat categories. Moreover, myths [In Hinduism] are living organisms that change constantly.
