Samsara: A Captivating World!

Touted as India’s answer to Harry Potter, Samsara: Enter The Valley Of The Gods, authored by Saksham Garg and published by Penguin, this book is an engaging read. 

It's great to see Indian authors drawing from country’s rich cultural heritage to create fantasy worlds that can captivate readers globally.

Now imagine this: an overlooked teenager bullied all his life, has no friends or relatives to support except his mother, is suddenly brought into a mystical world. His journey starts as a chosen one among the 11 to protect the valley. Aman Chandra, here among strangers, finds a purpose of his life in this mysterious valley.

The story is about his journey of becoming courageous protector of the valley.




The setting of the hidden valley of Vanyasa sounds enchanting, filled with magic, meditation, and miracles. The concepts of immortality, Atmayog (transferring soul from body to another), mystical beasts and lots more add extra layer to mysticism.

The world that the author is created in this Indian fantasy fiction is different and interesting.  The initial pace would feel a little slow, but it catches up as you continue with the story.

I am eagerly waiting to read his next in the series.
