I’ll be buying these books as I love fictions around Mythology.
I personally always believed in the theory of humans being treated as Gods.
Strongly believe Ram, Krishna were super human beings who by their Karma attained a state of God.
I loved the book and eagerly waiting for the next one… my suggestion is please try and include more heroic acts of lord shiva……..
being a student of ancient Indian history, this take on the Indian mythology is really interesting and i would like to mention that the characterization of the characters is awesome….waiting for more…EAGERLY…..!!!! truly a page turner!!!
good luck!!!
An excellent book. You must ensure to get a movie is made. Every youngster must read this book. Would also like to suggest that you should not stop with these books. Since you have started the concept of combining mythology with fiction. I feel that you must write similar stories on Gautam Buddha and many othe mythological personalities. When is the next book being released
Celebrates Indian Mythology in a very western way ……brand new approch and excellent attempt
does anybody know when is the book 2 coming out?
Awesome book, should be read as a stand alone and should not be compared with other writers. Its really nice. Liked it and waiting for the second book.

Eagerly Waiting!
just want to now that shri Ram was before Shiva……because in the book it mentioned that he wear the cloth were its written shri Ram….
both of the books are great. A must READ!
I’ve gone through ur all ad.of this book, but i think that you have go into deep more study & than you’ll have to write the book like “The Story of Shiva” because The SHIVA is not avatar of Vishnu…
Here the Indian Matyho Bhrma & Vishnu are added force fully!!!
In Shiv Puran There is battle between Shiva & Vishnu…
& Shiva won the battle…than siva is avatar of Vishnu…how it is possible???
Because Vishnu is represent of Brahimns & Shiva Represent of Orignial Indains…that is GAN pratha…
Shiva is hero of GAN NAIK…
hence prove his son named GANPATI…
GAN meance people,democracy…
Vishnu is not the hero of GAN!!!
Think of this
YES we are proud of LORD SHIVA,but we did not expect that “the shiva is avatar of vishnu”
Because Both lord shiva & vishnu are different in all ways…
Lord shiva lead our original Indian…
& vishnu Lead Brahmins…
How it is possible the both opposite end are meet each other???
Think on it How the real story of SHIVA???
Hi Atul,
Did you read the books? nobody is saying that Shiva is avatar of Vishnu. In the book there is even not a concept of Avatar. As in the book stated, All the so called avatars were nothing but normal people who became godlike due to their Karma. If any person brings Law and Order in the society, he was known as Vishnu as Vishnu is a protector. For Example, Ram brought law and order to his kingdom so he was called the 7th Vishnu. Same way Shiva is called as Mahadev / Lord Rudra who was destroyer of the Evil. And in the books Amish has narrated the journey of Shiva – from a simple man to Mahadev.
Hey atul,
I pity your narrow minded views.. you ask the author to study deeply.. but I think it u who is in need of study.. what is this line about “Lord shiva lead our original Indian… &vishnu Lead Brahmins…” do you mean, Brahmins are not Indians?? btw I am brahmin and a Shivaite. So tell me, whether I am an Indian or not? Instead of commenting on the book, you are spreading your false and narrow minded view. I pity you.. you are suggesting that gods fight gods.. isn’t it enough that all over humans are fighting humans..
The books are very realistic.The way he ahs blended different stories is beautiful.
Atul u need to read it properly.
Hi ,
I love the book and i am now waiting for 3rd part..
atul> u r not opening up ur mind to the real facts. u r only keeping it confined to previous mythological explanations. Shiva had no miraculous powers. He couldnt create a thunderstorm with his trishul. He was a normal Man like u n me whose deeds for the society were so great that he is being preached as God nowadays. nd every other god throughout the world, for every other religion is same. Its their deeds to the society which matters. which has made them Gods. Nd they should.
Generally in Mythologies, stories are made twisted and they are often based on unrealistic concepts with too many miracles n magic revolving around it. Contrary to that Amish has presented the real story of Shiva’s life based on realistic concepts and facts. For this I admire him. He has done a great deal of research on it. In case of Indians, if u study the indian history from the stone age or paleolithic age or different research works of famous historians u will find that only few tribals here in the deccan plateau, chotanagpur plateau and andaman islands are true natives. rest all of us Aryans or Dravidians came here thousands of years back from outside.
But does it matter? we have accepted this place and it has accepted us. So now this is our home and we are all Indians.
Atul its only this that ur mind has not attained the enlightenment yet. But u may find it soon and then u will understand.
BAM BHOLE!
what an amazing experience it is to reda the books of shiva triology,, the beauty of description and excellence in derivations.. of the logic of human mind has not only increased my passion about our mythology ,, and also on the standards of the personality predominance..
Superb books…. Can’t wait for the third part!! Excellent narration skills and story flow. Wonderful imaginative power. How he puts each of the mythological characters as pieces of the puzzle is just amazing
I have read that book twice, i am waiting for the second book to come, Best wishes for the Author.
I read first and the second book and waiting for the third. I like the way Shiva has been portrayed.Yes I feel Shiva as normal human being can have a family.
One of the few great books I am reading after a long time. Quite a nice revelation for a Christian like me, of the the hindu legend and mythology mixed together and told in a wonderful way.
Eagerly awaiting the 3rd volume of the secret of Nagas and hope we wont have to wait too long. Keep up the good work!!!!
opps……….just cant resist for 3rd book..when its relasing ..
Its amazing, feeling as if i was there only .

Check out the interview of amish tripathi and his hardwork and views for Shiva trilogy.
cant wait for the part 3, definetly its a book that really carved indian history beautifully!!
eagerly wating for the third book!! sad dat i read d second book first !! could not feel the suspense in the first book lol…!! whn is the third book releasing ??
I read all the comments made by the readers, all interesting with different perspectives. The author has painted the journey of a man who attained the level of divine/god through his Karma invoking the divine/Mahadev which is in each and every one of us.
If in some way the books have inspired you to be an inch close to Shiva then it has served its purpose. If by reading about Shiva, this is the thrill just image what it will be being in presence of him. Join some men/Sadgurus/Baba/ who live in his presence and see the change it gets you to your life.
Om Namah Shivaya!
For those who still think, we came from Aryan or Dravadians, please read this
