I felt like I'm Ron and Harry, while Avan is my Hermione Jean Granger. You know what I mean, right? 🤣🤣😂 Many, many new knowledges I got from her that are too valuable to describe.*sniffs* 🙏 Using the same characters, places and names which are associated with Lord Shiva -Mansarovar,Sati, Nandi, Daksh, Gunas, makes the whole story very believable and easy to relate to.Many euphoric moments throughout the narrative, especially the episode when Neelkanth inspires the Suryavanshi army to believe in 'Har Har Mahadev' - each and every person is Mahadev. The climax and the final revelation to Neelkanth. His inner struggle, turmoil, frustration and desperation to find the answer, the solution and the final realization. Interweaving the sub plots of Saptrishis, Vasudevs, brief history of Devas and Asurasa and Rudra in the narrative without confusing the readers anywhere. Liked the detailed description of places and situations which helps the readers in understanding the story and moving along with it. A completely original plot brilliantly amalgamating mythology, history and fiction to create a mesmerizing saga. I would like to give 10/10 for the imagination of the author. The author has fictionalized and simplified the mythology to such an extent that it can easily be followed by all, thereby increasing its reach extensively.

Amish is an IIM (Kolkata) educated, banker turned award-winning author. The success of his debut book, The Immortals of Meluha (Book 1 of the Shiva Trilogy), encouraged him to give up a fourteen-year-old career in financial services to focus on writing. He is passionate about history, mythology and philosophy, finding beauty and meaning in all world religions. Daksha tells Shiva that Mandar Parvat (mountain) is the place where Somaras are made. Daksha takes him to where he meets Brahaspati, Brahaspati is the chief scientist of Meluha.

On the contrary, the truth is that Mahadev must go beyond the little quarrel between the two clans and deal with two of the bigger evils-everything that threatens the survival of humanity.

For anyone who's afriad it will be male fantasy without romance. No.no no. Romance is here for you! and Shiva loves her fiercely. You might find yourself *giddy, giddy* on how cuteee he is when he's around Sati, our feisty heroine ! 😆 Amish artfully described how Suryavanshis wanted Mahadev to help them annihilate Chandravanshis, and Chandravanshis expected him to join their camp against Suryavanshis. First of all, no one unfamiliar with the myths in the first place can understand most of the book. Tripathi automatically assumed every single of his reader would know the legend of ‘Neelkanth’ and the various words from Sanskrit used in the bookHonorary Doctorate by Jharkhand Rai University for outstanding contribution to Art & Literature (2019) [27] My advice to anyone about to or currently reading this series would be what I have stated in the review itself. Try to think of this trilogy as one long story and don’t go in expecting religiously (historic) and politically correct text. And before you feel the need do that, I would like you to ponder on this: religion based on Shiva isn’t a fact either. The religious texts while sacred (no offence to anyone in anyway) do not act as a proof of reality of how the life of Shiva unfolded. There is no point in comparing that text with the book and getting offended. And the author explicitly states a HUGE ‘what if’ premise at the beginning of the book while mentioning this book is fiction. So treat it as such. All the people of Meluha are above 100 because of Somras. Somras is an effective medicine for aging and keeping you young forever. Sati

Let’s get something out of the way to begin with. I am sort of biased towards the Hindu God Shiva. Not in a religious way but in more of a spiritual way. And understandably so, I am biased towards this book as well. BUT, I will try to keep my prejudices out of this review. Yakhya - The Leader of the Pakrati tribe, he has a long standing enmity with the Gunas. He was almost killed by Bhadra. Another very important point of thinking left by this book for readers is the interpretation of good and evil or a misunderstanding of good and evil.Devdutt Pattanaik from The Tribune commented that "the writer takes us on a sinister journey with the characters, who frequently sound as if they are one of us only." [20] Society magazine complimented Tripathi's writing by saying, "Reading this beautifully written creation is like plunging into the icy and venerable waters of the Manasarovar Lake. One can actually sense the beats of Shiva's dumru and fumes of intoxicating chillum. Simply unputdownable." [21] Nandita Sengupta from The Times of India felt that "while the author spins a tale of adventure, it could have been a slightly snappier, tighter read. Some crunching of thoughts that tended to overlap and repeat would be welcome in the next two books." However, Sengupta was most impressed by the author's crafting of Shiva as a "rough-hewn, hot-headed, a great dancer, smitten by Sati... Shiva's our definition of a hero, ready to fight for a good cause anytime." [22] The Scion of Ikshvaku was released in June 2015. It is the first book in the Ram Chandra series. It follows the story of Ram and is a prequel to the Shiva Trilogy. The Scion of Ikshvaku won the Crossword Book's "Best Popular Award". [14] Sita: Warrior of Mithila, the sequel to The Scion of Ikshvaku, was released in May 2017. It became the highest-selling book of 2017. [15] Raavan: The Enemy of Aryavarta, the third book in The Ram Chandra series, was released in July 2019. The fourth book in The Ram Chandra Series, War of Lanka, was released on 3 October 2022. Legend of Suheldev: The King Who Saved India, his first historical book and first book in Indic Chronicles, was released in June 2020. [16] We wish the writing was more elaborated, the characters were built up with sound research and the author had paid more attention to the quality of writing. The Immortals of Meluha: A review".
