New realities are being created every moment. But how really are they taking form? Certainly, an existing reality can't lead to a new one by itself.
The genesis of new realities lies in-believe it or not-fiction.
It is fictions, myths and legends -our imagination-that has shaped and is shaping our world.
This highly evocative and analytical book digs deep into the secrets of consciousness of societies, religions and nations to unravel the myths of reality and reality of myths.

'When dealing with people,' said Dale Carnegie, 'let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.'
It is difficult to understand human beings as rational beings because even our rational mind is guided by our emotions. Emotions are the product of our beliefs which are based on faith without much logic and rationality behind them.
We don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we believe it to be. Our perception is a product of our belief and not our rational thinking.
Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth is an attempt to understand the impact of our beliefs-which are largely based on mythologies, scriptures, rituals and fictions-on our lives. In this book, we explore mythologies of the East and the West and connect them to the realities of these worlds. We discover that our culture and traditions are the products of our oldest mythologies and ancient scriptures. There is no social reality which can't be explained using the myths believed by the society.
