The Triumph Of Good Over Evil
For me the long wait has finally ended. I was eagerly waiting for the third book
of Siva Trilogy series ever since i read the earlier parts. After reading the book. I felt it was worth waiting.
The third book started on a good note. The second book left
the readers with a suspense and hence there has been amazing curiosity about how the story
would proceed. The third one-"The oath of The Vayaputras" has a beautiful plot and it unfolded the mystery uniquely.The story takes us through a series of wars ending in
massive blood shed. War strategies and the technology used at that time was elegantly narrated. The plots and the graduation culmination of numerous
characters was good. Part 1&2 deals greatly with the Meluhans and the Nagas the role of the Vayaputras is highlighted in this part.
The central theme of the Siva Trilogy is about Good Vs
Evil. I could find a high level of maturity in writing in the last book. It
beautifully explained how over exploitation of any good technology would lead
to evil effects. All the Mythological characters associated with The Story of
the Siva were emphatically designed and towards the end of the story we could
actually identify the characters by their strong personalities. Like Lord
Ganesha , Lord Kartik who share a deep brotherly affections, especially the war tactics, courage displayed, maturity shown. I really marvel the creativity of the author, articulation of various characters at the right time. His writing marked commencement of a new era in Indian fiction writing.
Some of the lines in the book like "We become gods when we realise that a part of universal divinity
lies in us" simply speak about his philosophical mindset. Just like most of our
Mythological stories, these books has conveyed clear message – like association with
evil would definitely lead to a sure disaster. True happiness always lies in upholding
dharma and contributing yourself for a good cause .
A simile of Banyan tree has been used to describe the character of Daksha who
couldn’t completely evolve under the tutelage of his dominating father. His feeble decisions boomeranged
and ultimately his foolish love for his daughter resulted in annihilation of a mighty empire.
Lord Siva, The Neelkanth, the saviour was shown as a man with strong
character who would vouch for truth and follow dharma. He was a true leader as
he could bring people of different tribes under one flag and drawn battle lines
to lead the country towards ultimate good. Lord Siva who is known for his deepest love for his consort Sati Devi was exquisitely depicted. Amish is undoubtedly on his way to becoming
the Paul Coelho of the east.
