Shiva Origins: The Son of Ganga 

By Dinesh Veera

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Rating 4.4/5

Synopsis
Neither man nor God, but beyond!
Time is running short, and the fate of planet earth remains unclear.

Abhay Sharma, a young college student, is on a mission to uncover the secrets of the ancient Chola kingdom. But things are not going as planned. He, instead, awakens a supreme evil and there’s only one way to save planet Earth.

Abhay needs to decode a truth about a legendary Hindu God that even the Vedas were afraid to share. A truth that will change the destiny of the entire human race for once and all.

The past is not far behind, and when an age-old conflict threatens the world yet again, Abhay is stuck in a race against time. Can he overcome the odds, or will fate finally take its revenge for the injustices long forgotten? Join Abhay on the quest to finish a story that started centuries ago as he unveils the truth behind the Shiva Origins!

My Thoughts
After reading this book, I was wondering, perhaps the 'page-turner' term was coined for such books. This book completely lives up to the term.Definitely one of the stories which will remain with the readers for a very long time and I am sure Shiva/Neelkanth/Mahadev will be in their hearts forever.

Shiva? He is just something else. I have never read or heard anyone capture him better than Dinesh! I recently reviewed the book 7 secrets of Shiva by the Hindu mythology authoritarian, Devdutt Pattanaik and he just fails soo bad! Most of them do. Why?

Shiva is a walking contradiction!

He is detached, yet his love is something beyond the word ‘passionate’. He is calm, serene and yet, he has a temper that is beyond scary. He is a hermit, withdrawn, yet he is lustful. He kills mercilessly, yet he never goes to battles.
Shiva, atleast for me, is a Human God. He makes mistakes, he loves, he punishes, he laughs, he kills, he cries, and he dances!!

Having said all of that, I feel that somethings aren’t just about the writing. It’s about the ideology behind it too. Somethings matter in context. Given that Dinesh’s writing is at best, average, but so far from what I have read from Indian authors, a market where authors like Chetan Bhagat rule, I think Dinesh is way above par.

Highly Recommended for all the lovers of mythology.
