Suspense till the end.. Superb Book, buy it now !!
Before I write anything about this book, let me confront the truth. This was the first book of ‘Thriller’ genre that I have ever picked and after reading it I can surely say, this is one of the best book I have ever read. I don’t think any of the suspense serials that we do watch on television can compete with the plot of this book.The entire story cannot be disclosed here or else the book will lose all its beauty. You may read the book blurb written to know what the plot is but you can never guess the awesomeness of this book until reading it. You have to read the book to know what lies inside.Apart from the plot, the inclusion of Lord Krishna’s tale, from his birth to his death makes this book unique. Not only will you enjoy reading this book, you will somewhat also brush up your mythology knowledge. The book is of 464 pages but even for once you won’t feel like dropping it down. The Author’s way of writing is simply superb.

A Brilliant, witty plot and narration!!
✨One line that sums up the book - "The philosopher is more important than the stone"✨The story revolves around the history professor Saini, whose friends get killed by a serial killer✨Radhika, an investigating officer runs behind Saini, guessing that he is the murderer°°✨The story takes a different turn for every 10 chapters, revealing many interesting facts about very much known artifacts we already heard about✨For ex, Can you believe that mount Kailash could be a Pyramid??✨Many such breathtaking facts are exposed that makes the read very interesting✨I even got goosebumps, then and there, with the info narrated°°✨Number theories, fact about 6 pointed Star, Krishna's clans, connection between Greek and Hindu gods, also between Hindu and Muslims, unknown interesting history about the well known Taj Mahal, logics behind OM and what not.✨One fact that pricked my heart is, the playful acts of Krishna could be a myth is what the author says and I literally felt helpless coz all these years, I adore Krishna just for that.✨There are 108 chapters which clearly connects to the number theory that helps Saini resolve a puzzle.✨Also, a short glimpse of historical story from Krishna's narration adds more connection to the read.******✨After completing the read, I couldn't help browsing to know more about the historical references mentioned in the book.✨I just felt glued to the book✨Totally an mind-blowing read and I now adore the author's wit in delivering sensitive facts with such ease

Best book ever
It shows various theories about the Dwaparyug and is best for the people who are interested in the history of India. People who are devotees of Krishna like me can gather a lot of knowledge about Krishna and Mahabharat.

Begginers go read it!
Firstly this is said to be in mythological thriller genre. Author has put an immense effort to research about mythology, Theology Archeology, History along with many interdisciplinary connections among these. In the acknowledgement section the author has told that he wanted to write a fiction that would based upon sound research...and he has succeeded appreciably at that point. This book would unlock a whole new world of the concerned subjects to the people reading this type of piece for the first time. .Now comes the plot. It's neither completely good nor completely bad. But it may not seem gripping enough for readers who loves thriller a lot. Most of the twists are very clichéd and lack any kind of logic. Some of the facts are not at all agreeable. There are plenty of questionable explanations of some facts. Still, some parts of this book is indeed remarkable. I love the Mahabharata backdrop throughout the book. Some interpretation of facts from Mahabharata is really amazing..There is Dan Brown vibe at most of the places.If anybody try to analyse characters under microscope then I would definitely restrain him/her. Only some layers of Krishna's character has been portrayed with a little detail.But above all the ending is heart warming. The message this book wants to convey is really beautiful. As I always review spoiler free so I'm not disclosing much. Although I didn't enjoy it that much there are a lot of people who have enjoyed this novel. For beginners it would be quite enjoyable.At the very end, once more, I'm applauding the intense research of the author behind.

Mystery of krishna , Indian mythology , Highly interesting & Captivating
The Book which starts with the story of a God who was human , apparantly the 8th avatar of Lord Vishnu .As we all are aware of the style of ashwin sanghi , in this one also 2 stories go side by side.The first One being of Mahabharat from the words of Lord Krishna himselfThe 2nd story which starts with a brutal murder and a conspiracy to kill others , the quest begins for syamantaka ( a stone) which existed in the krishna`s age and has been taken care of ,by Yadavas for centuries.Intriguing research of Mr Sanghi and the way he deciphers all the next things to come as astonishing and at the same time logical.If you believe that Mahabharata didn`t happen in real , this book would for sure change your thoughts.I feel very lucky to have bought this book and of course couldn`t read anything else till I completed it.Pros well laid out story , Greating writing style and also linking everythingCons the Climax didnt turn out to be as expected (I believe that is for what climax are for ) But I love reading the climax again and again .
