Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy #1)

Immortals of Meluha
by: Amish Tripathi
Rating: 4.5/5.0
1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills!

The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.

Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil? 

The first book of Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi and one of the best books I have ever read. The storyline has been put in the era of Indus Valley Civilization. The author has made a nice blend of History, Mythology and Fiction in this book. Shiva: The Destroyer God has been put in the shoes of man as he leaves his home as a man and reaches to the position of God.

The narration is very detailed and as you read the book, you will find yourself imagining the scenarios and situations of which you read in the book. Also, I found the book a little addictive as I completely got engulfed by the characters and events of the book. Its a great Mythological Fiction book.

I also think that if everybody reads it with an objective point of view in mind, this book can cure our social problem of religious superstitions relating to Gods. As you read it considering that you are reading about Gods, you find them making mistakes, correcting their mistakes and being true to their self.

Altogether, a great read and a must for everybody.

Number 0 - Numerology

In Numerology the number 0 is often not used, though I consider it to be one of the most valuable numbers in numerology as it enhances any other number that appears with (before, or after). It can be thought of as a two dimensional spiral of divine force representing both female and male qualities. The number zero is represented by the Moon and vibrationally by eternity and the sound of the OM. From this sound (or vibration) all other numbers came. Inside of the circle (representing our universe) you can think of all other things existing. If you think of this circle as enclosing all physical space in the universe you will see that it contains all of the other elements of the universe inside of it (earth, water, fire, air, and the ether itself).

Diverting People's Minds

Congress has been trying to divert everyone's attention from focusing on the good things that we people might do instead of stretching former IPL chief Lalit Modi's escape to UK. Now I am no member or supporter of any political party, but as a responsible citizen of the country I do have my opinions.
