Abstract

The fundamental theme of Amish Tripathi’s writings is spiritual realism. The portrayal of his creations only serves to promote human symbolism toward God. The universe’s morphological alterations are a result of a soul’s link to the universal force. Myths are stories that describe the way of life, habits, and culture of ancient people, which are frequently reflected in the gods they worship. India is well-known around the world for having a rich and diverse cultural legacy. Indian mythology consists of religious and cultural tales that are handed down through the generations with several variations. According to Indian spiritual academics, its suggested meaning is similar to contemporary western philosophy, which holds that there are multiple truths. Amish Tripathi reimagines the entirety of Hindu mythology in order to make it more appropriate for the contemporary era of reasoned decision-making. A mythology is a body of stories or myths concerning a specific person, culture, religion, or any group of people who hold certain beliefs. The majority of people take mythology seriously in terms of their religious beliefs, even when they don’t believe it to be entirely genuine. The goal of this study is to investigate the various aspects of Hindu mythology and philosophy that may be well-suited to leadership-related activities.
