A little bit from the Mythology:

Goddess Kali  in Hindu religion represents the awakening  of the inner force  that destroy evil. She is also known as Shakti. In our ancient scripture the demon Raktabeej ( the blood seed) was given a boon  that his blood fell on ground would create more of such demon with increase strength.  It was only kali who  solved the vexing problem  by drinking up all the blood before it fell on the ground.  

A bit about the story:

The story starts off with the protagonist Kali,who was found by master Vyaas  floating on a raft in Ganga. Kali had supernatural power of being able to interact with nature. She was destined to do something big once for the human race,to save them and their thought process from the Asuras who have the secret to create disharmony. 
How will Kali find Asura in this modern age and save the human race? What secret has been written in the book of Asuras and where to find them?

My Views:

What fascinated me in the first place was the eye catchy brightly coloured illustration on the cover by the author himself.
The author has beautifully compared Asuras with human thought process.
The chapters are full of short mythological tales which make the story more interesting and fun to read making it more relatable to the modern age.
The characters have been developed  with much thoughts and research.
Being a mythology lover every chapter made me stick to the book till the end.
A very very thoughtful topic combined with  entertainment from Los Angeles to the Ghats of Benaras.

I recommend this book to everyone.
A book that reveals the secrets of human thoughts and how one can defeat them.

Rating: 5/5
