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.

abrupt ending

it starts off well and a lot of coverage about Krishna present. however there are too many loose ends that are left unresolved. wish the ending did justice to the story.

Speechless

Dan Brown style with Indian backdrop and culture. So well written that you'll understand the explanations by historians and other experts mentioned in the story.

A good book but an over enthusiastic narration

Like a typical Ashwin Sanghi book,this one has all the ingredients for a fast paced thriller but the narrator is just too enthusiastic with his voice modulation and narration.Can be clearly avoided.

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. :)
