Krushnayug
by Ashwin Sanghi
Description:
પાંચ હજાર વર્ષ પહેલા, આ પૃથ્વી પર કૃષ્ણ નામના વ્યક્તિનું આગમન થયું. એમણે માનવજાતના કલ્યાણ માટે ચમત્કારોથી ભરેલા અનેક કાર્યો કર્યાં.એમની વિદાયવેળાએ સમગ્ર વિશ્વ ઘેરા શોકમાં ડૂબી ગયું હતું.વિદાય વખતે તેમને એવું એવું વચનઆપેલું આપેલું કે કળીયુગમાં જયારે પણ પોતાની જરુર પડશે ત્યારે એ અવતાર ધારણ કરશે. કૃષ્ણએ માનવજાતને જે અમૂલ્ય વરસો આપ્યો એ છે એ શેનો છે અને ક્યાં છે? એ રહસ્ય શોધવા માટે એક સીરીયલ કિલર જે પોતાને અંતિમ અવતાર માને છે તે , ભગવાનના નામે જે યોજનાઓ ઘડે છે,એ થથરાવી દે એવી ભયાનક છે. ઇતિહાસકાર રવિમોહન સૈનીએ કૃષ્ણનો અમૂલ્ય વરસો શોધવા માટે દ્વારકાના દરિયાથી માંડીને કૈલાશના હિમાચ્છાદિત શિખરો અને છેક સોમનાથના મંદિર સુધી રઝળપાટ કરી,એ જોવાનો પ્રયાસ કર્યો છે ફરી એકવાર અન્યાયનું પલ્લું ભારે ન થઇ જાય.

M. V. Kamath says, “One must remember that this is a work of fiction. Provocative, but commanding attention. What is truth? Jesting Pilate is quoted as having asked Jesus. One might as well ask the same question of the author, in jest or in all seriousness. From what he has written it is clear that he will not pause for an answer.”
Skryf Review
Amazing Reading…The Krishnayug’ is an interesting read for mythology buffs and conspiracy theorists. The book is tightly scripted with each chapter beginning with a story about Krishna, followed by its parallel drawn from modern times. The plot is wonderfully paced and the story is well researched. Having a professor of mythology as the key protagonist works well as he is the only who can make sense of those countless riddles, mythological references, anagrams, cryptic puzzles, Sanskrit shlokas and messages hidden from Mount Kailash to Taj Mahal. Add to it a serial killer and a Mumbai don and that’s all you need for a perfect thriller. Ashwin Sanghi is a gifted writer and has done immense research which is apparent in his writing but like Dan Brown, he’s dumped a lot of information on the reader which could have been avoided. Aside that, the novel has an interesting cast, their backgrounds nicely explained and motives sufficiently clear. Overall, I found it an interesting novel.
