Where do I start with Hindu mythology, /lit/bros?
>>24690752RamayanaMahabharataBhagavad Gita Personally, I love mahabharat
>>24690752If you want secondary sources: Ka, by Roberto Calasso. Great analysis of the literary/philosophical aspects of hindu myths
Worthless ideas
>>24690884Yeah what this anon said, also if you want extra you can check out the Puranas
>>24690899lmao you mad, bro?
>>24690752penguin has a collection of hindu myths. but i agree that experiencing them in context is probably more rewarding. rigveda has some mythology, although it's not the main focus and usually only referenced glancingly. mahabharata is probably the greatest of all the hindu texts, but rigveda is great in a more unique way, as it is a product of the bronze age.
>>24690752Greek mythology mogs both.
>>24690752The Majambrata is pretty good, but the Sayaimkrishna or the Dhum-Shahalamgrinyeeta are generally considered necessarily prior
>>24692542The fact that you think Roman mythology is different than Greek mythology means you were filtered hard. Romulus and Remus was a Greek myth
>>24692562Impressively well researched shitpost
start with sanskrit
>>24692577>Romulus and Remus was a Greek mythIt ain't a myth, it's a fact
The Camp of the Saints
>>24692606...That came from Greece
Meditate in your own shit for 30 minutes a day and you must stick to a strict fecal diet then the myths will show themselves to you in your stool patterns left in the dirt after you scoop them up from off the road
>>24692806>post thread about Hinduism>anon sees it and remembers over a billion Indians have had sex>remembers he's a virgin>starts seething about India>Doesn't even have a passportlol
>>24692808THE sex?!?!
>>24692833Over a billion Indians have had THE sex
>>24690752Do not redeem Hinduism, sir
>>24692577The Etruscans would like a word
>>24692947Etruscan mythology was also heavily Hellenized, the unique aspects of their were typical for Italic tribes
>>24690752Refer to this site: https://sacred-texts.com/hin/index.htm and go from top to bottomAnd if you're interested in Vedic Metaphysics and in depth perspective, refer to this: https://archive.org/details/UL-the-complete-works
>>24692962The Hellenization of Etruria was quite superficial; their whole culture was radically different.
>>24690752Do different levels of heaven and hell exist in Hinduism? How about the devas? Are there different kinds of them?
>>24690899My mother is jewish btw should put that out there.
>>24692542>Greek mythologyDUDE WHAT IF RATIONAL CONCEPTS WERE LE HUMANS LMAOFuck off.
>>24692985>https://archive.org/details/UL-the-complete-workswtf is this schizo stuff
>>24693610Kino of highest order
>>24690899Islamic post
>>24693817Chris Hansen inspired wackiness
>>24693841It's entirely Vedic from beginning to end, but it goes from a secular explanation to full blow Hindu slant over the course of the material. Amazing stuff.
>>24693013Don't disagree with you, I'm referring to mythology specifically which was>>24693019Yes to both
>>24692577You are not very eurodite. There was a process of greco-isation of roman myth, but they were not the same earlier on.
>>24694848>euroditeI keked. Of course the two were different at one point but all surviving sources of myths are told in a Hellenic framework. Most differences were ritual distinctions from ancient Italic rites
>>24690752I'm reading the Mahabharata now and Bhishima is an incredibly admirable guy.
>>24695207Yukio Bhishima
>>24695207which part are you at now?
>>24690752Indians are poop. I can't take a anything they say or do seriously.
>>24696543Why did low human capital right wingers start seething about Indians so much? Why were they so keen to latch on to the current thing to whine about?
>>24690884Bhagavad gita is in mahabharata retard
>>24696547The only complaints I've heard are the call center scams, that they're bad at coding and that they smell bad. Seems like it's just another thing to complain about really. Basically every race or nationality has annoying or outputting things about them.
doodoo threaddoodoo mythosfrom doodoo subhumansthat came from a subcontinent (facts, look that one up)made for even lower doodoo subhumansachieved nothing but doodooeventually ate bovine doodoo in the endfucking dothead piece of shit
>>24690752Weird meme. I've always seen it other away around. Is Hinduism for chuds and Hellenism for redditors now? I thought it was the other way around. Maybe it is a zoomer millenial difference.
>>24690752>SAAR!hard passhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchagavya
still don't understand what this thing really means
>>24690884>Personally, I love mahabharatI read a few sections of it and it was so bizarre I saw no point in continuing. Eating a bull's piss and shit, a guy getting beheaded then his severed head floating up and swallowing the sun, immediately come to mind. I don't see what the appeal is
>>24696711>I refuse to look into Hindu mythology because of some weird religious practiceI assume you apply the same logic to classical western mythology as well
>>24696737
>>24696741You would have loved that thread about the book where a college graduate jerks off minotaurs
>>24696739we don't commune with literal shit
>>24696710>one (1) jeet begins spamming a niche 4chan board with jeet nationalism>instantly contruct a narrative in your head about a supposed generational divide concerning the perception of ancient hellenic cultureholy based. a lot of you guys would have been hilarilus as schizos
>>24696748you're probably right, tes vi better have minotaurs or ill blow my gasket
>>24696729it's a mace/thunderbolt. the weapon of indra, like thor's hammer of zeus' thunderbolt. it just got co-opted and redefined in weird ways as different religions evolved and stripped the vedic religion for symbolic parts. >>24696737don't remember either of those things, but yeah there's a lot of random stuff in there. what happened was they had a story called the bharata and by gradual accretion it picked up just about every random story or doctrine anyone wanted to attach to it, thus becoming the "maha" (mega) bharata. sort of a similar process as what happened to the vajra. the core story is basically a cousin of the homeric stories, it includes a lot of the same arcs and tropes.
>>24697482zeus' thunderbolt and thor's hammer, particularly the former, are very important theological symbols, so I'm not sure this statement holds
