Story
Chanakya's Chant is a thrilling novel that tells its listeners about a sharp parallel story between two individuals. One of these individuals is the very person who brought the scattered Indian subcontinent under the reign of Chandragupta Maurya-Chanakya. Chanakya is one of the wisest political strategists to have ever lived in the history of India. The second protagonist is Gangasagar Mishra, who is a rather insignificant Brahmin teacher who seems to be struggling to make ends meet but is actually a reincarnation of Chanakya himself.

The trajectories of Arvind and Arbaaz, both businessmen of a kind whose lives are unwillingly intertwined, ricochet off one another while they play out their sinister and murderous plots of personal and professional one-upmanship, all the while breaking every rule in the book. Both are unaware that what they seek and fight over is the very obstacle in realising an ancient secret that dates back to a time long forgotten. And yet, at the heart of it all, there lies tenderness...and pathos...and blood...and rare moments of an almost exalted happiness.

Welcome back to the shadowy and addictive world of Ashwin Sanghi. After The Rozabal Line, Chanakya’s Chant, The Krishna Key and The Sialkot Saga, Ashwin Sanghi returns at last with another quietly fearsome tale - this time of men who guard the ‘Kalachakra’, or The Wheel of Time. Sanghi describes a world of people at war with one another - a boomeranging conflict of faiths that results in acts of such slow and planned human cruelty that they defy human imagination.

Publisher's Summary
Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna, who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual Dark Age - the Kaliyug.
In modern times a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar.
Only, he is a serial killer.
In this heart-stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret - Krishna's priceless legacy to mankind.
Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna's most prized possession. From the sand-washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice.
From the best-selling author of The Rozabal Line and Chanakya's Chant comes yet another exhaustively researched whopper of a plot, which provides an incredible alternative interpretation of the Vedic Age that will be relished by conspiracy buffs and thriller addicts alike. Ashwin Sanghi and Amish Tripathi are considered to be the frontrunners in historical and mythological retelling. This book is part of that trend.

Overall good. Not the best
I wrote this review for the audible version of the English book.
The author tried his best efforts to make an Indian version of Dan Brown universe. There are visible similarities in the book “the lost symbol” and this one. While one focuses on the European and biblical stories, the other one talks about the indian mythology and puranas in a similar fashion. That being said, I still found the book overall enticing. Some of the twists are good enough to keep the reader engaging.
Next, I just want to praise the author for a great attempt to glorify (in a good way) the importance of vedic and puranic wisdom . However, I believe that enforcing those ideas in a justifiable story made the story loose its grip at some places. It felt forced, which is okay as it’s fiction and the author is at liberty to use his space as he likes.
To conclude, a good read but not the best one. :)

Terrible misconceptions on Mahabharat, dull story
I pity innocent people reading this book and rubbing off the author's incomplete knowledge and gross misconceptions of the story and characters of Mahabharata.
The story begins with a very interesting turn of eventsz but sadly falls flat and turns dull as it progresses. The author's maturity levels are that of a teenager. So a grand premise in the story is utterly wasted on senseless character development sagas.

A let down
I was really excited for this book. I had heard from a friend that it's a bit like Da Vinci's code, but set in India. For the most part, that is correct. I really liked the set up that Sanghi delivers in the first part of the book. The characters, the premise, the parallels drawn between the past and the present are all very intriguing and exciting prospects. But as the story moves on, the writing becomes quite lethargic and relies too much on pompous explanations by various characters to proceed the story. At this juncture, the tedious explanations are mistaken as the story. Even the dialogues are pretty unrealistic in the latter stages of the book. However, the most annoying thing about the book turned out to be the aggressive saffronisation that Sanghi fervently projects. When it began, it did seem exciting, but when he does that for almost everything under the sun and in the world, it just seemed like a serious episode of 'Goodness Gracious Me' where the Indian dad thinks everything famous in the world is originally Indian (here it was 'everything is 'Hindu'). After a point, you could just guess what would he saffronise next. The mythological aspect of the book was great, and possibly the thing that made me want to finish the book. The interesting theories that Sanghi began the book with had me hoping that he would set up an exciting end, but it was rather stale, predictable and boring. The treatment of the characters from the mid way point was also a huge let down. I'll still give Chankaya's Chant a go and see if things are better over there, but after this book, I will keep my expectations in check.
