THE HIDDEN HINDU (HINDI) By AKSHAT GUPTA

FORMAT: PAPERBACK

TRILOGY PART #1

Prithvi, a cryptic 21-year-old who remembers incidents from before his birth, is in pursuit of a mysterious middle-aged Aghori (Shiva devotee) who was tracked for more than 200 years before being captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated island in India. When drugged and hypnotized for the interrogation by a team of 6 specialists, the Aghori had claimed to have witnessed all four Yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and to even have participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Prithvi recalls the name of this otherworldly man. Om Shastri. Throughout the interrogation, Om’s revelations of his incredible past, puzzling the very nature of mortality, had left the entire team baffled. The team had also discovered that Om had been in search of the other immortals declared in every Yuga, along with all other bizarre secrets that could alter the myths of ancient, beliefs of the present and course of the future. Who is Om Shastri? Why had he been captured? How can Prithvi recap the series of events that took place before his existence? Why is he searching for Om? Board the boat of Om Shastri’s secrecies, Prithvi’s pursuit, and secrets of other enigmatic immortals of the Hindu mythology in the lightning-paced journey.
