When destiny chooses a person to rise above his current life and become the mahadeva, the choice is beyond the willingness and contemplation. Here is a story of a simple man who rises to the occasion when he is called out to. Faith is deeply rooted in hope and the book shows how faith could change the fortunes of a state. The story is set in early days of civilization, where longitivity is a given and immortals live and walk on face of earth. It is a set on the philosophical grounds of hinduism and treads the very fine line of good and bad, balance and chaos, Gods and demons and most noticably the reality and legends.
The story is about a commoner who enters in a near perfect civilization and is recognised by a well-known legend, accepts the responsibility and uses his wit and statesmanship wisely to achieve the near impossible. Story merrily dances in divine romance, forces unbounded love, makes strong decisions, cognises science and religion, blends faith and destiny and shows how the character of a man is the character of Gods.
The author has kept the book conversational and added new characters and concepts at various stages to make the book an unstoppable divine adventure. The after-thought of the book is humility and how one can bow down to the greatness of these legends.
