What can we learn from Indian mythology? Sunita Pant Bansal, author of countless books of Indian mythology and children folk literature, helps us understand the life lessons mythology offers. In episode 45, author of best seller Krishna, The Management Guru and Everyday Gita, Sunita walks us through the concept of her newest book on boons and curses in Indian mythology. The discussion highlights how mythology stories carry life lessons on justice, karma, impermanence, and diversity in viewpoints. We also dive into the idea of equality among individuals, irrespective of cultural or physical differences. As an example, in Indian mythology, everyone has the power to give blessings or curses, and even powerful figures such as gods can suffer. We explore how global mythologies showcase commonalities amongst us all. Don't miss this one!
