Devlok with Devdutt Pattanaik: 2 by Devdutt PattanaikMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A set of conversational discussions with the author where he tries to clarify the doubts raised in the questions.
The theme revolves around Gods in the Vedas and Gods in the Puranas. At a high level the author says that in the Vedas the Gods were less personified, whereas in the Puranas they are highly personified.
Caste system is another topic that is discussed in detail. The author's take is that caste does not appear to be inherent in the Vedas and to a large extent in the Puranas. It is a later day addition to the rituals.
A decent read like many of his other books.
