(The 7 Secrets #2)
It is significant that the stories of Vishnu rose to prominence after the rise of Buddhism. Prior to that, Hinduism was the religion of the elite-based complex rituals known as yagna and esoteric speculations captured in texts known as the Aranyakas and the Upanishads. These seemed very distant to the common man who focused on fertility rituals, worship of plants and anima..more

7 Secrets of Vishnu Review
I am not sure whether the book confused me or really built a new platform of new thoughts for me.
One thing that caught my attention surely is the description where author relates Maya to Vishnu and Shiva.
This is what I found interesting~ Vishnu and Shiva are two main gods in Hinduism. With Brahma they form the trinity. It has been said that Vishnu lives with 'Maya' but never gets used to it. Maya means pleasure and luxuries which are tempting to the senses. Shiva on th..more

This book, talks about various things related to Vishnu. As a series, I feel like reading the '7 Secrets of Shiva' as well because depictions of Vishnu cannot be fully understood without understanding those of Shiva. By explaining the difference between the two major deities who have been worshipped throughout India, albeit in different fashions and at different occasions, a more complete picture of the cultural-spiritual-social-scientific amalgamation which is known as just a religion today is..more
Vishnu is one such God or form or concept one has to experience and this book captures brilliantly what is Vishnu. I think it needs to be read and reread with years one can understand how much depth Hinduism has which the world is not completely aware of.

Unfolds the truth!!
and brings meanings.. It never fails to make sense and slowly unfolds what you think of Vishnu to what he is

The book is an extrapolation of the symbolism associated with Vishnu and allied deities in the Hindu culture. Being a fan of symbolism, I absolutely loved Pattanaik's elucidation of Vishnu's portfolio of symbols, which is immense to say the least, counting in the avatars. The title is perhaps a misnomer – I'd have called it just The Secrets of Vishnu or the more straightforward Deconstructing Vishnu; Seven Secrets of Vishnu sounds too definite and a cool-wannabe.

Nothing much has stayed with me on the revealed secrets. I relearned that Ram and Krishna were Vishnu's avatars, that the 4 yugs occur in a cycle of Krita, Treta, Dvapar and Kali, with each yug seeing an avatar taking birth towards its end to take the mankind to the next. The cycle ends in pralaya. Ram took birth in Treta and Krishna in Dvapar. Lakshmi is Vishnu's consort as he knows how to control her rather than be controlled by her. The other avatars were Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vam..more
Stories from the Epics Mahabharata and Ramayana have been narrated very well. Lovely illustrations of the Goddesses, heavily illustrated images of sculptures from temples of Cambodia and several temples from all over India, and beautiful murals are all great points for the book. List of all the temples at the end of the book would have been great. Also, the captions of the images and illustrations could have been better.

The book took me back to my roots. So many words that we've grown up with, whose meanings and history were not clear, became crystal clear after reading this book. Like Alakhi, Lakhi, why Saraswati and Lakshmi never stay together, why Lakshmi is so restless, why did Krishnaleave the flute, Why Brahma is never worshipped, etc, etc A wonderful read, taking you back to your roots. A must for all those interested in mythology and history.
this book has tried to describe the symbology and some of the Vishnu's avatars in a more scientific way which will help you understand the mythological components of our scriptures, the contrast between material vs spiritual reality and how its shown in Vishnu is carved out nicely, however it fails to keep the reader curious and doesn't invoke any emotions of wanting to read more of our tradition. even though this book is a information overload for a newbie. I would say its not upto the mark.

Repetitive themes
If you've read Myth vs Mithya, there is no point in getting this. Themes get repeated across his books.
That said for someone interested in learning Hindu mythology, this gives a good overview of each avatar of Vishnu. I have rated this three stars because it mostly touches all avatars in brief except for Krishna who is talked about in 40% of the book.

A nice one where a detailed explanation of the avatars of Vishnu were stated. Got to know origins of sum stuff that I knew were a part of the Hindu culture..

Reading Devdutt Pattanaik’s books are such an eye-opener even for Hindus who believe that they know everything about their God and customs. I am just done reading the 2nd book of the Hindu Trinity Series which is named “7 Secrets of Vishnu”. The book is again written in the same format with each page consisting of a diagram/image and the opposite page consisting of texts related to the God in discussion. This book tries to decode the Lord Vishnu and the explanation behind many of his avatars and..more

Good level of research
Author has focused on Vishnu and his avatars(as obvious from the title). At first, I felt he must have covered all stories from Vishnu Puranas, Shrimad Bhagavatam, and Bhagwat Geeta. Unfortunately, he has covered only common topics so that it does not look abstract to those new to Hindu mythology. However, he has provided his interpretation of various symbols which are not likely found in any ancient scripture. Moreover, this is what we like about Devdutt Patnaik, he has pr..more

Must read to know more about vishnu
The book tells a great deal about vishnu. The stories included are great and so is the language used. I finished this book while conducting bhagwad puran in our family. I would say if you are and ardent follower then you will certainly read it but if you are just a spiritual person who goes to the temple once a month then you wont find it interesting. Its all a matter of faith and your inclination.

This is first book I read by Devdutt Pattanaik. This book takes us through various avatars of Vishnu assumed by Hindu mythology while relating it to human society, code of civilization and nature flow. Divided in Seven chapters, each one help us in understanding key concepts and in delving into the mysteries of the divine. If you are a mythology buff, you will come across many unknown things or stories and will enjoy reading this.

Superb Read
The author does justice in describing the existence and conduct of the preserver of the world. The journey from Brahma to Brahman, Prakriti to Purusha, Material reality to Spiritual reality is the crux of the book. It tries to justify the difference in function of Vishnu and Shiva and their interdependence. It is a well researched work and a must read for people wanting an insight into the meaning of life.

Further exposition in understanding the Hindu mythologies extending beyond what is described in My Gita by Devdutt Patnaik.
This book is just as good but some topics are repeated from the other book and hence, a lower star rating.
But, rest assured that there are more revelations in understanding Hindu mythological stories and thus understand human behaviour and psychology better.

This isn't exactly mythology, more like a demythification of mythology. The author explains his understanding of the tales from mythology we're aware of, by association with emotions like desire, or material things like wealth. Perhaps it's an attempt to make it more believable, I'm not sure. I liked reading it.

Devdutt Pattanaik feels like he is writing the same stuff again and again in all of his books. The last chapter about kalki just tells about kalki and didn't reveal any hidden secret. Give it a miss if you have already read his mithya book. Also, if you want to know more about hindu mythlogy I would rather say that you go through Vedas and Puranas.
Jan 20, 2018Balachander rated it liked it · review of another edition
A quick refresher - not much that was new. I'd have preferred some insight into the origin of a few of these (like that in the chapter on the kalki avatar for instance), I liked the pictures from various temples, calendar art and cultures around the world and of course I do like the central philosophy. Can't say there's much to the writing quality though which is purely functional.

Devdutt Pattanaik has beautifully interpreted and narrated the entire vishnu avatars in the context of spiritual and material realities. Also, the purpose of Vishnu avatars and the nuances of dharma are very often explained in the book convincingly.

Had he got style and polish in his writing, Dr Pattnaik would have been the Dan Brown of India.

To get the harvest to the granary, Bali has to be killed, like all Asuras.
