Shiva Trilogy – an overview

Today, He is a God. 4000 years ago, He was just a man.

The Shiva Trilogy is the tale of the extraordinary man whose adventures 4000 years ago are remembered today as the myths of the Mahadev, the God of Gods. It is chronicled through these three books, The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas & The Oath of the Vayuputras.

Immortals of Meluha

“The Story of the man, whom legend turned into a god”

Shiva Chief of Tibetian Gunas tribe who is

as fierce as he is moral

Meluha The kingdom of perfection beyond the

mountains ruled by Suryavamshis.

Sati The princess of Meluha, but ordained to a life of loneliness as she is a Vikrama.

Somras The life enhancing drug or mix consumed by the Meluhans

Immortals of Meluha

• Consumption of Somras ends up giving Shiva a blue throat, he is now the Neelkanth, the legend of Suyavanshis.

• Shiva will lead the Suyavanshis to victory against their arch rivals Chanravanshis who have stooped low enough to even recruit the brutal, evil assassins – the Nagas.

The Secret of the Nagas

• Ayodhya The capital of Chandravamshis • Branga the kingdom situated in eastern India

at the confluence of rivers Brahmaputra and Ganga.

• Kashi a patient city to all people and thus houses a colony of Branga’s too.

• Panchavati the capital of Nagas. • Parvateshwar Shiva’s army chief from Meluha • Ayurvati Chief Doctor of Meluha • Brahaspati Chief Scientist of Meluha

The Secret of the Nagas

• A mini riot breaks out against the Branga’s

• Karthi, Sati’s son is born.
