About this listen
2017, Delhi - Vidyut’s dying ancestor summons him to Banaras. The old Brahmin chieftain of the Dev-Raakshasa Matth, or the God-Demon Clan, bears a chilling secret. Their bloodline carries an ancient curse that will plague mankind - towards its own violent extinction.
1700 BCE, Harappa - Harappa is a magnificent city on the banks of the mighty Saraswati river. The darkness of treachery, taantric exorcism and bloodshed unleashes itself on the last devta, paving the way for his devastating revenge...and the horrifying truth behind the fall of the glorious civilisation.
2017, Paris - The world’s most powerful religious institution is rattled. Europe’s dreaded crime lord meets a mysterious man in Paris. A lethal assassin boards a train, as Rome fears the worst. The prophesied devta has returned.
What connects Banaras, Harappa and Rome? What was the ancient curse, and who was the last devta? What is the terrible secret behind the fall of the colossal Indus Valley? Listen on as you travel through a saga of deceit and violence, gods and demons, love and ambition.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 18
Phones stop working. Smartwatches die. And arms start glowing with blue scars. This is what happens to Aman Chandra and ten other Souls of Samsara when they are kidnapped from modern-day India and transported to a hidden valley in the Himalayas. In this realm of magic, home to Hindu gods, immortal yogis and mythical beasts, the mission is clear for the Souls of Samsara: to learn the ancient art of yogic sorcery and prepare for a treacherous journey not many can survive. But why must they go on this journey? And how are the gods connected to it all?

To prepare for the future, our ancestors created the Naga sadhus―a clan of warriors for the protection of Dharma, as proclaimed by Adi Guru Shankaracharya in the eighth century. This sect of Shiva devotees has stood firm, living selflessly and fighting fearlessly. For centuries, they have died the death of heroes, serving and saving Dharma and the temples.

Prithvi, a twenty-one-year-old, is searching for a mysterious middle-aged aghori (Shiva devotee), Om Shastri, who was traced more than 200 years ago before he was captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated Indian island. When the aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Story4 out of 5 stars 86
India, 1025 AD. Repeated attacks by Mahmud of Ghazni and his barbaric Turkic hordes have weakened India’s northern regions. The invaders lay waste to vast swathes of the subcontinent—plundering, killing, raping, pillaging. Many of the old Indian kingdoms, tired and divided, fall to them. Those who do fight, battle with old codes of chivalry, and are unable to stop the savage Turkic army, which repeatedly breaks all rules to win. Then the Turks raid and destroy one of the holiest temples in the land: the magnificent Lord Shiva temple at Somnath.

Mix of all worlds
Well, I am pretty confused as the plot is so common and storyline is very predictive, however the premise of the plot Harrapa was very heavy and luring... It's very difficult to understand why the author have taken the best of these genre novels, mix it well and plated in the form of novel when he could have done more dip test in history backed by historical evidences. These genre of book could have dished out lot of more insight of the lost history however it felt that the history was used just to add flavor to the novel.. If felt like the story is weaved around the notable name of Harrapa and no effort taken to ensure that the story line is not in lines with conspiracy theories and no reference bibliography have mentioned to entice the audience and add weight to the story.. Now it felt like a fable for an young adult which is just like masala movie.
Expect more from such genre and somehow dissatisfied.
The performance is unnecessarily dramatized which is not needed as the audience is not kids but adults. Also the essence of the story gets diluted when the performer needlessly do the voice modulation and make the grim situation laughable. Read it maturely to make more impact I felt.

Good Creativity. At times bit dragging
I would liked the story to be a bit fast paced. At times during crucial moments the author has elaborated on the unwanted things too much. Even in few moments I felt like things getting repeated rather in different words. For example when Vidyut is attacked by romi and the audience wants to know what happens next, the author unnecessarily explains about the rituals of Kashi. Yeah of course he is trying to creat some thrill but I felt like it is needless. He could have jumped those things. Otherwise a good read. Would love to read the other episodes of this triology.

extremely average
the book is extremely average. the storyline lacks any nuance and the author is not at all convincing of his theories. it's like Chetan Bhagat writing the Meluha series
