1. Kamat's Potpourri: Animals Of Indian Mythology
   On the role of animals and animal gods in hindu mythology.

   Extractions: First published as "Attitude of our ancestors towards animals" Last updated : September 18,2005 A ncient Indians had recognized the animals' right to co-exist with man and therefore they were loved, nurtured and even worshipped. In order to impress upon the commoners about their importance, the animals were given the status of gods and goddesses. They declared that Almighty incarnates in different animal forms. The kings and the emperors opted different animals in their emblems. Many festivals were/are observed in honor of several animals. In order to inculcate love for animals among children, animals were made heroes in stories. The rulers gave them prime position in art and architecture. Unfortunately, today we are neither adopting ancient Indians' compassionate attitude, nor scientific approach of the westerners towards these animals and hence we are heading towards a catastrophe. The activities of ancient Indians were woven around the animals. Therefore, they knew the happenings of animal world as much as today's ardent student of zoology. This vast knowledge has been recorded in the scriptures of the time. The

The hymns of the RIG VEDA are the first and freshest expression of the sense of beauty and gladness awakened in the Aryan race by the charms and the bounty of nature. What began as a celebration of natural elements such as Air, Water and Fire was converted into the worship of cosmic elements. And thus formed the triad of the early Vedic Gods - AGNI, VAYU and SURYA. The VEDIC Gods are mere abstractions, intangible and illusive personifications of the powers of nature. It is in the post-VEDIC phase or in the PURANAS the gods assumed substantial shape and individual character. In the late VEDIC period the two ITIHASAS or epics Ramayana and the Mahabharata were compiled. The heroes of the Vedic age gradually took place of the shadowy gods of the Vedic Gods and found their places in the Puranas. This formed the phase of post-VEDIC gods or the PURANIC GODS who had their seeds and roots in the VEDAS giving rise to the concept of TRIMURTI.

13. Indian Mythology In A Nutshell
    Contains information on the Trimurti, the three highest deities of hindu mythology Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Also have sections on the Cycle of Creation, Sage Bhrigu and Goddess Lakshmi.  
    http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~nmysor/gods.html
    
    Extractions: Many temples have been erected for the glory of Vishnu and Shiva but Brahma is hardly worshipped. It is said that time can be separated into 4 Yugas or periods. These yugas represent a certain degree of honesty on Earth. Throughout these 4 Yugas, Vishnu is said to incarnate 10 times or Dashaavatar - Dasha means 10 and avatar means incarnation. The Cycle of Creation and Destruction is completed at the end of Kalpa. A Kalpa is 10,000 divine years or 10 million years. The Kalpa is broken up into 4 Yugas. They are Satya Yuga which lasts for 4 thousand divine years, Treta Yuga which lasts for 3 thousand years, Dwapara Yuga which lasts for 2 thousand and finally Kali Yuga which lasts for 1 thousand years. The Yugas are characterized by their loss of righteousness in the world, i.e., Satya has only truth, Treta loses 1/4 truth, Dwapara loses 1/2 truth, and Kali loses 3/4 truth. Evil, dishonesty plague the universe and replace truth in the last three Yugas. We are currently living in Kali Yuga. This yuga is characterized by unrighteous acts and there is 1/4 Truth and 3/4 evil. At the end of this Yuga, Shiva shall destroy the whole universe - this is known as the night of Brahma. In other words, Brahma lives and dies in one day of Vishnu, Vishnu is born and dies in day of Shiva or Rudra. When such a dissolution occurs, Brahma will then create the universe once more - known as the Day of Brahma.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_mythology
    
    Extractions: Hindu texts Shruti The term " Hindu mythology " refers collectively to a large body of Indian literature (essentially, the mythology of Hinduism ) that detail the lives and times of legendary personalities, deities and divine incarnations on earth interspersed with often large sections of philosophical and ethical discourse. Though they are often classified as 'Hindu' or 'Indian' 'mythology,' the label does not capture the centrality of religious and spiritual affiliations of the texts that ring true today for most Hindus. They are replete with long philosophical discourses and are often seen as sourcebooks for Hindu ethics and practice. Many Hindu stories seem mythological only because they have been passed down generation after generation. It is also to be noticed that many Hindu stories are not mythology. A parallel would be to term the Old Testament 'Christian mythology'. The most important of these are a voluminous group of works known as the puranas , of which there are eighteen. The two great
