My next book will have more than 200 of my illustrations
Union of man and woman -- An illustration
We have conflicts because we are not at peace with ourselves
When a story becomes sacred, and constructs our identity, it becomes mythology
Mythology is a language, a story, and also symbols and rituals, constructing a subjective truth
By its very nature, mythology is amorphous, organic, and rapidly transforming, and it cannot have standardisation
My website and its organisation -- www.devdutt.com
Comments and their pattern
Rules that govern my illustrations -- example of Hayagreeva
The story of snake sacrifice and its lesson on the futility of vengeance
Epics are extremely sophisticated, and they tell us repeatedly to take decisions contextually and be responsible for the decisions

Author reading his book (a snatch)
Human beings may have evolved technologically, but at an emotional level we are just the same

Difference between the Western and Indian view of life
External war is a manifestation of inner rage
Being insecure, we look for protection in property, which then leads to conflicts
Inner landscape teaches you to give love -- something you can give even if you don't have anything
