About this listen
Did you know that each avatar of Vishnu arrived with a specific purpose? Time and again, Vishnu has manifested in different forms to fulfil his role as a ‘protector’ of the world. Among the long list of 24 avatars, 10 avatars have captured our imagination for centuries together—Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parshuram, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki. But how exactly did these avatars impact the society? And how do they link to the Charles Darwin theory of evolution? While each avatar has its own set of legends that extoll their characteristics and deeds, the stories behind them are just as interesting and informative. Presented in a contemporary and unbiased perspective, these stories of the 10 avatars of Vishnu are an attempt to make mythology more believable and relevant to the world that we live in today.

😕 Meh!
Even though the performance is excellent, the stories are sub par. The overall is that it's intellectually numb.
No insights of the stories at all. The stories are focused way too much on some part of the avatar. As I understand, it is not possible to cover the full extent of each avatar, the summary should be evenly distributed through it. For example, for Krishna's avatar, it focuses too much on the Govardhan incident while very briefly in his role in Mahabharata. Although Ram Avatar was the worst one, as it is solely focused on Ram's love for Sita, it is the only episode that has unique insight of the misogynistic behavior of the society. Overall, it is the stories you remember from childhood, heard from others with no actual relationship to the current world or insights, focused on incidents that you remember the most.
Recommendations: you would not miss anything if you do not read this book.
