I have always believed that our rich ancient vedic civilization can be taught or spread to the younger generation when it is told in the form of a story. The book 'Renuka - the journey unexpected' is special in that sense because it gives a mesmerising account of our ancient civilization where obtaining knowledge was the chief occupation of people. Of times when dharma was not only confined to performing rituals, but when it was synonymous to performing only the righteous deeds with total conviction even at a personal loss. Narrated in a flawless and engaging manner, the book is a must for all book lovers to have a glimpse of the golden era and also to encourage the young generation to know more about their roots. The book is highly recommended for readers interested in knowing more about the indic civilization. Enjoy the fascinating journey of a royal princess who is still revered as a godly mother by many of us!
