Prithvi, a twenty-one-year-old, is searching for a mysterious middle-aged aghori (Shiva devotee), Om Shastri, who was traced more than 200 years ago before he was captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated Indian island. When the aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Om's revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future. So who is Om Shastri? Why was he captured? Board the boat of Om Shastri's secrets, Prithvi's pursuit and adventures of other enigmatic immortals of Hindu mythology in this exciting and revealing journey.

The story is super captivating but the audio narration is robotic, not doing justice to the plot.

Captivating

Listening to the first chapter was enough for me to realize I had made a mistake. This book is a jumble of pop mythology pulled from Google, Instagram, and WhatsApp, blended together and served with a nonsensical plot. The narrator even mispronounces well-known names, such as turning Ashwathama into Ashwa-atma.

In one humorous yet ridiculous scene, the leader of an investigative team with cutting-edge hacking tools calls his mom to ask about a famous historical figure.

The author desperately needs a storytelling course to improve his skills!

Childish story. Flawed Performance

No substance in the storyline . To many over rated characters . I was expecting a decent account of the characters.

Boring

This book is utter crap. I forced myself to listen but failed after two hours. It’s hysterical that the author felt that he will make his story sound legitimate by using characters that Hindus believe to be true. Effectively in a non-Instagram non-Modi world this books wasn’t worth cutting any trees for.

Trees deserve a better afterlife
