Shiva Trilogy by Amish

I thought of sharing my opinion about the latest book I read and this blog is a tribute to Lord Shiva,my favourite God for blessing me so abundantly,far beyond what I deserve....

As the title says,it is the series by Amish Tripathi,a Mumbai-based author.

We all know Lord Shiva!The Mahadev.The God of Gods,The Destroyer of Evil,One of the Trio,Consumate Dancer,Passionate lover,A quick wit accompanied by an equally quick and fearsome temper.All powerful and yet incorruptible..

But Amish has characterised Lord Shiva as a man who lived thousands of years back in India and rose to be The Mahadev,God of Gods due to his karma.....
The series consist of three books,namely:

    1.The Immortals Of Meluha
    2.The Secret Of The Nagas
    3.The Oath Of The Vayuputras

The story takes place in 1900.B.C in Meluha-a near perfect empire created by Lord Ram which modern indians call the Indus Valley Civilisation.This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face several perils as its primary river Saraswati is dying to extinction.They also face terrorist attacks from Chandravanshi and The Nagas(an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills) who appeared to have allied with Chandravanshis...

The only hope for Suryavanshis and people of India is an ancient legend:"When evil reaches epic proportions,when all seems lost,when it appears that your enemies have triumphed,a Neelkanth(one with the blue throat) will emerge"...
Drawn suddenly to his destiny,by duty as well as love,Shiva-a Tibetian tribe chief emerge to fight and destroy evil..

An interesting journey of a warrior who is turned into a God by his followers because of his deeds and war against the evil is explained beautifully in the three books and is sure to get the readers full attention.These books focuses on philosophy, religion and the never ending battle between the good and the evil.

It is the brilliant retelling of 'Shivapurana' in the most modern and exciting way and gives a refreshing and soul satisfying read.....

A very exciting and bestseller novel I found after The Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code....


                                                            Om namah shivaya.....




Happy Reading:-)
