The one who is born has to die… Is it applicable to human existence and the blue planet on which we live? I am Shankar, the ancient sailor. Once upon a time, when there were no Himalayas or the holy Ganga when even the humans were not the masters of the earth, we had to escape towards a new destination in a vast ocean, during the great war of nature and its creature, to build the youngest mountain of the world. But the voyage of life is not over yet, as two new species are already evolving to replace humans after their extinction from the earth. Vaidyanath, a snow-white physician of secret woods, has declared me a peace warrior and a researcher of a secret to save the existence of the human race on this earth. Will it be possible for me? “First of all, I have no desire to be a saint or Baba and secondly, I have little knowledge about pralaya. If the world is proceeding to a destructive war, what can a mortal human do about it? Especially, if he is not a politician, baba or Superman?” Everything is unclear. This voyage was not set in an ocean but in this new mortal body to search for the true meaning of being alive.

In "the very best book about Hindu mythology that anyone has ever written" (The New Republic) Calasso plunges Western readers into the mind of ancient India. He begins with a mystery: Why is the most important god in the Rg Veda, the oldest of India's sacred texts, known by a secret name—"Ka," or Who? What ensues is not an explanation, but an unveiling. Here are the stories of the creation of mind and matter; of the origin of Death, of the first sexual union and the first parricide. We learn why Siva must carry his father's skull, why snakes have forked tongues, and why, as part of a certain sacrifice, the king's wife must copulate with a dead horse. A tour de force of scholarship and seduction, Ka is irresistible.
