Shiva Trilogy book review

Series – The Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi

Har Har Mahadev 🙏

Part 1 – The Immortals of Meluha

Summary - It begins with introducing Shiva. He arrives in the city of Meluha on the request of King Daksha, whose land has been faced by terrorist attacks from the Chandravanshi tribe which he believes has allied with the Nagas. While in Meluha, Shiva is recognized as the Neelkanth – an incarnation of the Mahadev, after he drinks the Somras – a healing potion, which makes his throat turns blue.

Part 2 – The Secret of the Nagas

Shiva searches for the truth in a land of deadly mysteries – only to find that nothing is what it seems.

In the second book the ‘Secret of the Nagas’, Shiva plays the role of being the savior who has left his homeland to fight evil. He and Sati are happily married.

Part 3 – The Oath of the Vayuputra

In this part, Shiva realizes that Nagas are not his enemies and determines to unveil the root of all evil and his true enemy. Along this path, Shiva learns that the Nagas are not evil, and joins the hands with the Nagas to find out the real evil.

The war ends with Sati’s death, but an enraged Shiva decides to use Pashupatistra to annihilate Devpuri forever.

Likes about the complete series -

1. This line from " The Secret of the Nagas" taught me something very important about life:

“The opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy. When you don’t care a damn as to what happens to the other person.”

2. From the book of “The Oath of the Vayuputras”

One Sanskrit Shloka came up and it is the harsh reality which we do not want to accept

Ati sarvatra varjayet:

Excess of anything is bad. Some of us are attracted to Good.

Favorite Character - Sati 

When Sati ji was dying, he told her 2 sons “Ganesh” & “Kartikeya” a life lesson message.

She told to Ganesh that – Always remember how I died because Ganesh was the calm person so she wants to ensure that he remembers how bravely she fought and died on the battlefield (the great sign of Kshtriya)

She told to Kartikeya that – Always remember how I lived my life because Kartikeya is known as Lord of war so she wants to ensure that Kartikeya should lead a very simple and calm life.

Success and Failures of life !

So I got this opportunity to express my words on a very interactive session hosted by Offline LinkedIn Community meet up i.e. Success and Failures. So here we start! I believe at some point of the stage you all have some failures and success in your life but the weight of success and failure bucket for each and everyone is different. I present you my part of the story for success and failures which I have shared at the meetup and I got the speaker of the day award 😇. Oscar Auliq-Ice said “It is not a matter if you fail, but how well you fail.” Since my childhood, I was considered a brilliant and sharp minds in my family and I did prove it by managing to score above 90% every time from class 1 st to class 9th, but in my high schools I managed to score only 89%, at that point of stage I felt like I failed to prove my family that I am a bright child so there is my failure count 1, and again I tried to prove myself in my Intermediate but again I failed I secured ...

Comfort Zone

                                                                                 Comfort Zone!! My question is to you is “Are you in your comfort zone?” Well, you know the answer to the above question very well. So let us begin!! In childhood, most of us must have had a thought of doing XYZ things and achieve something bigger than we have achieved right now, but the real truth is that have we given our full amount of effort & energy that was required to fulfil that achievement? In order to find the comfort zone of its own one must have gone through the rejections and most of the times one is not able to destined to its most comfortable zone due to some constraints and hindrances that is what I am saying all with my own experiences and at some point of time you...

Friends !!

Friends !! A secret that you can't share with your family, you can share it with a friend. Why did God send us a friend in our life? I think to get the answer of all the queries that we have in our mind and facing all those critical situations and you are unable to figure it out on your own, there comes the role of a friend to clear your doubts. It works for me each and every time and I hope it also worked for you as well !! 😊😊 It has been said that a person with 3 good supporting friends is a great person !! I strongly agree with the above point every friend has an impact on your life and he/she will teach you something that you need to learn and understand !! Well in my case I have my 3 strong true friends that stand behind me every time and I thank god for that and I always feel a new cherishing experience when I meet them and do a lot of gossips of our college time and our personal space !! I didn't think of writing this blog but one good friend of mine h...
