Editorial Reviews
Professor Gene Thursby of University of Florida
Overturns a long history of scholarly undervaluation of the supposedly "only mythological" contents of ancient India's Puranic literature.

Professor Subash Kak, Louisiana State University
Thompson presents a compelling case showing Puranic cosmology was intended to have multiple meanings spanning terrestrial, astronomical, and spiritual planes.
