Transformation from Shankar to the Shankar Divine

The novel depicts a coordination of knowledge and devotion. It explodes the myth that one who has attained knowledge cannot be a devout. The knowledge of Shankar, ignorance of Krachakra, determination of Kumarill, pride of Mandan enlighten the novel with intellectual debate.In this way this novel is an expressive narration of the inexpressible, limitless, nameless , formless unitary tale of "Brahm".
