My Thoughts

Just amazing.

Mythology has always fascinated me. The Hindu Mythology is vast and deep, which makes you think of the depth of the riches of Indian culture and knowledge that has been lost in time.

This book captures your interest, and who is Om Shastri? And why is he so important? The pages are filled with curiosity, making me think what the secret is. If you like mythologies like me, then you’ll also like this book. The Author, Akshat Gupta, has done awesome work; no wonder that is why this book will be hitting the OTT soon.

Your interest hikes when you come across the names of immortals, making you think, what if the myths are true, if the immortals are around us and alive, then where are they? Why don’t they help us?

Trust me, these questions will hit you hard.

But the most interesting part is the end.

About the Book

Prithvi, a cryptic 21-year-old who remembers events from before his birth, is in pursuit of a mysterious middle-aged Aghori (Shiva devotee) who has eluded capture for more than 200 years before being captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated island in India. When drugged and hypnotised for the interrogation by a team of 6 specialists, the Aghori had claimed to have witnessed all four Yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and to have even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Prithvi recalls the name of this otherworldly man. Om Shastri.

Throughout the interrogation, Om’s revelations of his incredible past, puzzling the very nature of mortality, had left the entire team baffled. The team had also discovered that Om had been in search of the other immortals declared in every Yuga, along with all other bizarre secrets that could alter the myths of ancient, beliefs of the present and course of the future.

Who is Om Shastri? Why had he been captured? How can Prithvi recap the events that occurred before his existence? Why is he searching for Om? Board the boat of Om Shastri’s secrets, Prithvi’s pursuit, and the secrets of other enigmatic immortals of the Hindu mythology in the lightning-paced journey.

Happy Reading!!!
