Keepers of the Kalachakra: Bharat Collection 5

Let us take a bird's eye view of the plot of the book:The Plot:There are two distinct souls who had almost similar tragic past. The life wasn’t started in good terms for them. Though rather than crying for what they didn’t get by birth, they focused on achieving by hard work supported by their talents. The boy became one of the best research analysts in the world of Physics, and the girl’s love for biology brought her to a remarkable position in her field.The boy got a job in a research company which is considered as the best in the world and he had to live in isolation for a remarkable period. The girl had to perform her research for some rare-to-find herbs in the area where due to the security reasons, the permission from the ministry is required. Unknown to them, their area of work will be very near to each other. And so does the circumstance.The Islamic terrorism is rising around the world and some hardliners made the life hell for the many. Europe is on unrest. But, the rest of the world cannot live the life of peace. Prominent figures from all powerful countries around the world started being attacked mysteriously.Who is behind all these tragic incidents and why he/she is doing it? Or is it an organization? And how all these threads are linked together.Views and Reviews:When you read the book, it starts with attacks, murders and tragic incidents. And, this review talks about the rags to reaches stuff and a love story; so you may think that I got it wrong. Actually, no. But, it is one of the best part of the book according to me. I like the way the characters of Vijay and Sujatha are written.The other thing I like in the book is the absence of adult material. Nowadays it is a fashion amongst writers to use cuss words and write at a length about adulteries in order to woo a specific set of readers.The author bravely talks about various religions and terrorism and that too without being controversial, it is an art, indeed. The strong characters of the book makes it an interesting read. And yes, the author tries giving justice to all the characters in the book and the gender of the character doesn’t have any influence on the same. Now, this is called, real gender equality.The book has some printing/writing mistakes, but overall it is a gripping read.I bought it during a book promotion (Kindle EBook), and as the book is costly, you should also do the same :).Rating:Around 8 stars out of 10.

Once you start with the first page you get a feeling that it's going to be a interesting book. The book lives up to that promise. It's a kind of book you will finish it In a few days time. It's a engaging book. Thanks to the author for making it a good read.

The book starts with the brutal killing of high profile people around the world. The only thing common among their murder was swelling the one part of a body (left or right), kidney shut down etc. The most thrilling part which I liked was that killing was done with such cleanliness that no one could trace back the reason for these murders.Slowly and gradually the events start to unfold when Vijay (being a scientist) get a job offer from Milesian lab. When he accepts the offer, the spiral of the sinister plans of the lab unfolds. His each and every activity has been monitored. He finds a friend Mikhailov, who help him in exploring the sinister plans of the Milesian lab. The Milesian lab is owned by Minerva which is involved in identifying the quantum twins around the world & kill them. So as to ensure Islamic dominance is established.IG4 is also trying to understand why the high profile people are being killed around the world. IG4 is a group of 4 people representing the four different countries namely, USA (Judith Frost), Russia (Yuvi Petrov), India (Rakesh Sharma), China (Jin Zhang). When Milesian lab owner Schmidt comes to know that Vijay & Mikhailov are trying to know the secrets of the lab, he gets both of them killed & tortured to death. But both of them remain alive, tricking Schmidt.Toward the end of the novel, the secret of who are the keepers of the Kalachakra is revealed. The keeper of the Kalachakra is a monk Brahmananda & his disciples. There is a lot of interaction of Sharma, Mikhailov, & Vijay with Brahmananda, through the novel. In the end, the story exposes the big secret about the owner of Minerva, that is, Mason Henderson.All in all, this book is a quick and good read. It provides a good mixture of history, mythology, architecture, science, crime & thriller. Must read for those who love such mixtures.

It’s probably the best fiction I have read recently. The combination of ancient & philosophical concepts, world politics, current affairs, drama weaved with effortless storytelling is spell binding.

A very interesting perspective that intertwines fact & fiction - mythology & science and presents a compelling narrative….highly recommend. Worth reading and more

Peeps into history, spirituality with ease and woven into a good storyline. Kudos to the writer for keeping the reader engaged.

Much of the of ‘Keepers of the Kalachakra’ consists of a series of disjointed chapters, most of which seem to be there only to impart information on subjects such as Tantric Buddhism, Hindu mysticism, or quantum physics in a rather artless fashion. The storyline, such as it is, is minimal. I actually enjoy such themes in a novel, as long as they are well-integrated into the plot, but in ‘Keepers of the Kalachakra’ brief lectures posing as dialog are shoehorned into the story at every opportunity, and in such an obvious manner as to be quickly annoying. Since I do find the subjects discussed interesting, I persevered to the end of the novel, and found it mildly entertaining, and with some interesting subject matter, but I feel that with a little more work and more emphasis on the actual story, this could have been a much better book.

Good story but way too much detail which makes it difficult for the story to flow. The endless background stories are good at first but become tedious when they come at inappropriate points
