Abstract
Much has been written in psychoanalytic literature about the many gods and mortals of Greek mythology, however a search on PEPWEB with the keywords ‘Hindu mythology’ revealed scant results. The fact that a culture which acknowledges 33 million gods and uncountable parables has generally gone untapped for its psychological sap probably serves as a reminder that psychoanalysis has been mainly a westerner's craft. With this paper I intend to share “couch-memories” that have emerged during my own analysis -reveries related to my understanding of Hindu mythology which for me have led to a deeper understanding of how the complex psychoanalytic process may work.
