Swami The God Man

It is a sci-fi political thriller. This story takes you on a voyage through political and religious power tunnels filled with dark, treacherous and secretive brutality apparently beautified under the cover of ‘diplomacy’ and ‘religion’, truth of which usually is disparate to a layman’s experience. Narayan, a man donning religious attire, is highly educated genius whose curious instincts force him to mathematically conjecture a theoretical path to predict future of humans. In quest of the data, he comes to know that some of the big anti social, religious & terrorist organizations are being nourished for political gains. Political hunger knows no legality or social welfare. Fool and rule policy is forcing the society on a path to push it into an ocean of hatred, animosity, and destruction. On putting the data in his highly complex mathematical equations he finds extinction of humans imminent under the situation prevalent. His equations show that the chances of the tragedy could be reduced significantly by unification of all the countries and forming a world government. The ambitious man derives complex equations, solutions of those open a path of rapid success for his political party. He becomes ruler of India. Hashim was Narayan’s classmate. The shrewd skills fostered by innate ruling instincts harmonize with lust in Hashim in concocting criminal ways to overpower the world. He chooses the path of terrorism under garb of a religious preacher. Hate, suspicion, misinformation, bafflement, unjust, religious animosity and skepticism, all cultured over the years in the society by the power hunters, drag humans on the path of collision. Thesis and anti-thesis duel between Swami and Hashim drag the whole world into a horrible world war. Swami uses simple ideas but ‘tough to execute’ in manufacturing highly potent all new weapons. Much terror is created worldwide. People rush to protect themselves but are killed. Immaculate lethal powers of these weapons created by Narayan push the whole world on the edge of extinction.

Religion is the opium of the people, said Karl Marx many centuries ago. For more than a billion people living in India and abroad, Hinduism is the religion and a way of life. In this multi-award winning book, Swami Achuthananda cracks open the opium poppy pods, analyzes the causes for euphoria, and comes away with a deeper understanding of the people and their religion. *** Winner 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Religious Non-fiction) *** This is a comprehensive book on Hinduism. It tells you why Hindus do the things they do - and don't. Written in a casual style, the book guides you through the fundamentals of the religion. It then goes further and debunks a number of long-standing myths, some of them coming from the academia (of all places). While most books shy away from contentious issues, this book plunges headlong by taking on controversies, like the Aryan Invasion Theory, idol worship, RISA scholarship and many more. In fact one-third of the book is just on controversies that you rarely find in any other literature.
