it is one of the greatest work of fantasy with a philosophical touch which will take you to a whole new world of ancient India "MELUHA" and will not only make you feel proud of your mighty and righteous ancestors but also acts as a source of stoic wisdom , explaining various ideologies and various perspectives through the life story of Lord Shiva.
one of the best features of this book was that it is written in simple and lucid style and has solutions to modern day problems as well. the book has a common sense of appeal and it induces the reader to refer to it again and again. this is not a read and forget book but a kind of guide to building a responsible character who strives to become worthy of this holy land of India upon which many great sages and philosophers have walked. it makes one ponder on the question of "what is evil" and on his ultimate goal in life should be.
