By Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty

"Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty . . . weaves a super research of the complicated function of goals and dreaming in Indian faith, philosophy, literature, and artwork. . . . In her artistic palms, captivating Indian myths and tales remove darkness from and are illuminated via authors as varied as Aeschylus, Plato, Freud, Jung, Kurl Gödel, Thomas Kuhn, Borges, Picasso, Sir Ernst Gombrich, and so on. This richly suggestive publication demanding situations a lot of our basic assumptions approximately ourselves and our world."—Mark C. Taylor, New York instances ebook Review

"Dazzling research. . . . The e-book is enterprise and convincing when you take pleasure in its imperative aspect, that's that during conventional Hindu suggestion the dream is not an coincidence or byway of expertise, yet relatively the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of different types, its teasing readiness to blur the road among the imagined and the true, the dream really embodies the complete challenge of data. . . . [O'Flaherty] desires to make your psychological flesh creep, and she or he succeeds."—Mark Caldwell, Village Voice
