Title: Narasimha ( The mahavatar trilogy book 1)
Author: Kevin Missal
Plot: As name indicates the book is about three characters: Narasimha, Prahlad and Hiranya Khashyap
Narasimha is a warrior of Indra, who leaves war and want to lead a normal life. He thinks peace is only way to save the world. He joins the war again in enivitable conditions of threat to innocents. But keep on help questioning his deeds. What changes happen in Indra's army after his rejoining. Will he able to establish peace by rejoining army?
Prahlad is prince of Asuras, demon by birth but not by nature. Prahlad follows his father instructions as he feels it's his duty to fulfil his wishes for being a good father. When he actually senses what his father doing wrong, he will be in dielemma whether he has to follow his rules or not.
Hiranya Khashyap is king of demons who wants to establish Asura kingdom completely by defeating Indra. Is it really for good reasons?
By taking the characters from puranas, the author tried to show the current social problems like violence, fight for power, brothels and etc. He even pointed how innocent will be hurt when government spares bad people for the source of money. He showed how normal citizens face calamities when nuclear weapons are used for show casing their power. The author succeeded in narrating story interestingly and showing minute details.
Note: The author took only characters from puranas. The exact story is very different than this. There are so many differences like pasupatastra is not a nuclear weapon, Prahlad is devotee of Lord Vishnu by birth, Rudra and Bhairav are not dead. In fact, they are lord Shiva himself, so there is no question of death to me them and many more.
Rating: 4/5
