Immortals: Shiva Trilogy Shiva
Praise for
The Immortals of Meluha ‘Shiva rocks. Just how much Shiva rocks the imagination is made grandiosely obvious in The Immortals of Meluha ... Shiva’s journey from cool dude... to Mahadev... is a reader’s delight... What really engages is the author’s crafting of Shiva, with almost boyworship joy’
— The Times of India

‘The story is gripping and well-paced. An essentially mythological story written in a modern style, the novel creates anticipation in the readers mind and compels one to read with great curiosity till the end. The end however is a cliff-hanger and leaves one thirsting for more.’
— Business World

‘Amongst the top 5 books recommended

by Brunch... the story is fascinating.’
— The Hindustan Times

‘...has philosophy as its underlying theme but is racy enough to give its readers the adventure of a lifetime.’
— The Hindu

‘Amongst the list of favourite holiday books of 2010. A fast paced story, you are bound to read it cover to cover in one sitting.’
— The Deccan Chronicle

‘Much before the box-office verdict on Rajneeti and Raavan became apparent, Indian readers gave a thumbs-up to The Immortals Of Meluha.
Its author Amish, an IIM graduate, created a delightful mix of mythology and history by making Lord Shiva the hero of his trilogy. The first part has been on the Indian bestseller charts for quite some time now.’
— The Indian Express

‘...to me, The Immortals of Meluha is a political commentary with messages for our world and a hope that since they flow from the Mahadev himself, they will find greater acceptance. Be it the interpretation of Shiva’s battle cry — Har Har Mahadev as Every man a Mahadev or the valour of Sati who fights her own battles — every passage is rich in meaning and yet, open to interpretation. Therein lies the strength of this book.’
— Indiareads.com

‘...wonderful book, replete with action, love and adventure, and extolling virtues and
principles...

    From the very first sentence in this book, I was hooked. The word choice in this sentence is superb, the vocabulary transports me to another world that could only exist centuries ago. It made me feel like I am on this journey with him verses the one reading the letter. I wanted to know about his risky endeavors that his family was worried about. Not only that but I wanted to live this journey with him. I wanted to keep reading because he seems relieved to inform his sister that everything is going well and she was wrong. But knowing how books go, I'm sure that will change.…

    In the league of such a legacy, modern India continues to produce spiritual masters as was done so in every era. Their role on earth is to guide the not so enlightened souls who often loose their way in the mayhems of the day to day worldly activities. The spiritual vitality offered by their worshipful presence and golden words; the ever true messages expounded by illumined 'Bhaagwat Gita', has eternally held the power to rejuvenate India century after century.…

    Writing a novel with the intent of incorporating a philosophical theme can be one of the most daunting tasks for a philosopher. Due to the difficulty in portraying abstract themes in way that is both relatable and entertaining to the average reader, very few philosophers venture outside of the bounds of non-fiction. However, by masterfully utilizing the proper literary elements and settings presented in books such as Albert Camus’s “The Stranger,” Sylvia Plath’s “The Bell Jar,” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” a philosophical novel will be considered a masterpiece that overshadows countless other literary works.…

    Needless to say that this is an awesome book for someone like me who is interested in philosophy but afraid of studying the abstract and boring philosophic literature. While reading, I felt like I were Sophie and couldn’t help thinking about the question she was asked. In fact, those questions are attractive themselves, such as “ Is there such a thing as natural modesty?” and “What does it take to live a good life?” With these thoughts, philosophy is no longer a statue standing high in the sanctuary, but the applicable principle in our daily life. I felt that I must think over these things carefully, since they are about the reasons and goals of my life. During the whole reading process, my opinion was changing all the time because there were many distinctive theories which sound all plausible. However, after going through the whole book and a long period of thinking, I realized that I probably should build my own views and values.…

    It’s the season for us, of the older vintage in the media — starting with Arun Shourie, teacher to many of us — to complain endlessly about the juvenility and narrow short-termism in our public discourse. This harms public interest and is also unfair to those targeted in such arguments. My sympathies must, therefore, go out to Arvind Kejriwal on this count. He put together his revolutionary thoughts on what is wrong with India and how to fix it, in a tiny book of no more than 35,000 words or so, called Swaraj, published by HarperCollins in 2012. To make it more affordable, Kejriwal even waived his royalties most graciously, so it costs all of Rs 135, in English. It’s been printed in large type-size with plenty of spacing to make it even easier to read.…
