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 Pattanai 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.

The cliffhanger is truly a masterstroke and readers will want to know immediately what happens next. Both parts complement each other perfectly. The first half that deals with Abhay’s discoveries is slower in pace and focusses more on knowledge whereas the second half with Ghora is fast paced and engrossing. The book is clearly divided into two parts. The cover is beautifully designed with an almost reverential image of Lord Shiva himself. Writers flits easily between fact and fiction. STRENGTHS – The book is so well structured and researched that as readers we don’t even realize as the Shiva Origins celebrates not just Lord Shiva as a deity or hero but seamlessly fleshes him out through a modern, young narrator who takes readers into the fascinating world of yoga and ancient dynasties. REVIEW- Lord Shiva and his many avatars have been at the center of several mythological fiction books so it becomes increasingly important for writers who base their stories on him to present something new, original and engaging. Abhay finds himself facing the truth of his own discoveries and he sets of on a journey of exploration. During his visit to South India, where the Chola empire had flourished, he uncovers ancient symbols which he successfully decodes owing to his vast knowledge of ancient history, yogic practices and Lord Shiva.
