Publisher's Summary

For Hindus, Vishnu is God, who inspires man to discover humanity by engaging with the world. Artists have visualized him with as curlyhaired, dark complexioned man with a smile on his lips and a sparkle in his eyes. Draped in yellow silk, garlanded with forest flowers, bedecked with dolphin-shaped earrings, anointed with sandal paste, he reclines on a thousand hooded serpent that floats on an ocean of milk and rides a golden hawk bearing in his arms a conchshell, a wheel, a mace and a lotus. Poets say that when he is awake, the world takes shape; when he is asleep, the world ceases to be. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, follows him wherever he goes. To him is made offerings of rich creamy butter. Sometimes, as the upright Ram, he is worshipped across India as Balaji, Shreenathji, Jagannath, Ranganath and Badrinath. Locked in the stories, symbols and rituals of Vishnu is the wisdom of the ancestors, transmitted over hundreds of years. This book attempts to unlock seven secrets that are relevant even in modern times.

Good One!

Got to know more about Vishnu and Vedic culture. Worth the time, The avatar of Vishnu is also covered in this.

Narrator is good

Narrator is good. I liked the book but there were some story lines which needs to be more furnished. The author hasn't completed his research deep enough to share the epic story verses.

Fascinating !!!

A must listen for those who have a penchant for spiritual discourses, mythology and the like. It teaches one how to lead a life as well and surrender to the Preserver of this world....

The storyteller keeps you gripped.

while the story and the narrative is brilliant, a lot of credit, especially for this one should go to the narrator. The way he takes you through the chapters, enables you to think, understand and most importantly, learn.
