“We do not go into ceremony to talk about God. We go into ceremony to talk With God”- this quote of a famous Red Indian chief made me curious about Native American Gods. It inspired me to travel across three Americas in last few years when I became familiar with these words : Kukulkahn & Quetzquell , Virakocha , Tsechenako & Kachina . These strange words are the names of Gods : the American gods - worshipped by thousands of people in the western hemisphere even today. If one god is believed to rise from the depth of canyon , other god descends from the sky in the form of a giant feathery snake to create life & civilization on earth. I have travelled across three Americas, from Mexican gulf in the east to Peruvian pacific in the west , explored Mojave deserts of United states in the north to the Andean mountains of Peru in south . In my long journey I could experience and admire the beauty of this Land of American gods and also the awesome human creations – created by the ancient Americans who believed in these gods. While exploring these extraordinary creations and interacting with local people & their cultures, many questions appeared in my mind which made me more curious. I attempted to share all my fascinating experiences in this book hoping that it will make my readers as curious as myself about these great lands , the people & ....their Gods!
