Will Hanumān help him wield Rama's legendary kundalini weapon called Shārang? Will Uma be able to free herself from Mahisha's clutches?
This fast-paced, action-packed mythological science fiction takes you through many exotic ancient civilisations, including a distant planet with milky-white oceans known as Vaikunth...
Prologue and Background Theme :-
Ancient epics like Mahābharat and Ramāyan describe of a prehistoric age which was far more advanced in the technological, sociological and spiritual perspectives when compared to many millennia that followed - till the advent of 20th century. We’re often fascinated and surprised by the level of sophistication evident within these mythological records in terms of their complexity and philosophical insights. Some parts of these epics seem almost like science fiction, even by contemporary standards.
What if, by the time these ancient epics were written, many millennia had already passed since their actual occurrence? What if by then, humanity had gone through an extreme catastrophe, when most knowledge or records about their distant past had been lost? What if, after enduring such a worldwide calamity, when nearly all of the humanity was annihilated, remaining survivors were forced to re-start their lives from the very basic agrarian levels? What if, after yet another few generations, almost all connection with their glorious past got severed, except in the form of few surviving records and oral tales?
Perhaps the epics and scriptures as we know them today are mere interpretations by sages like Valmiki and Vyasa, based on what they’d gleaned from fragmentary cultural memories during their times, about our distant prehistoric past. Perhaps they were also compelled to make them plausible to a retrograde level of social and cultural reality or scientific knowledge, prevalent then…. This could have led to their overall historic theme being substantially distorted or derogated…. For example, it’s well known that one of the oldest scriptures of humanity known as ‘Vedas’, contain only a few traces of their original content.
On the other hand, is it possible that our ancient myths do have some elements of truth behind them? Maybe a highly advanced civilisation with ethnic groups like Devas, Daityas, Rākshas, Manavs etc did exist during our distant prehistoric past. Maybe the Lokas, Talas and other exotic places where they lived were geographical land masses that used to exist during ice-age. Could there be a common lineage to ancient myths of many cultures across the world? For example, could Indian and Greek legends, about triple cities of ‘Tripura’ and ‘Atlantis’ or about mount ‘Merū’ and ‘Olympus’, have originated from lame attempts to reconstruct the same pre-historic records, and in that process got coloured from different cultural perspectives…
Very little is known today about human history before 5000 BCE. But that needn’t mean that those were the times of stone-age cave dwellers. Possibly, all major archaeological evidences of earlier era were lost during a cataclysmic worldwide deluge or Pralay that ancient scriptures of almost all cultures across the world describe of. Probably, the heavy tectonic and volcanic activity, in addition to inundations across the world during Pralay, ensured that all such evidences got buried underground or beneath deep oceans.
