S2 E24: Miscellaneous Indian Myths
from Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More · host Mark & Adam Bishop
What does your mind jump to when learning about various important tales from India? If your answer is the soundtrack to the 1978 movie Convoy, you might be Mark Bishop! In this last episode focusing on Indian mythology, we look at various important tales from India, such as the Birth of Ganga, in which King Sagara's 60,000 sons are turned to ash and his great-grandson Bhagirath prays for Ganga to come down from heaven and create the seven sacred streams of India. We also discuss the moralistic tales of The Elephant and the Crocodile and the King, Pigeon, and the Hawk. We also see yet another example of a beautiful woman bathing in a stream in the story of the Ashvin Twins, and we break down their attempt to join the pantheon of gods by convincing a woman to leave her elderly husband. As always, our stories are filled with consistent interruptions and tangents about semi-related topics! Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinionsGive us your opinions here!
