Is he prepared to deal with the impending high-stakes battle that could determine the fate of humanity?"The Splendour of the Devi and Other Stories" is a collection of three stories, spaced out temporally in the Past, the Present and the Future, with thematic tales suiting the time and setting. Overall, the stories share the underlying philosophical theme of Advaitavada and borrow from the literature of Yoga-Tantra and the Shakta cult. The mind-bending tales explore epistemological matters like the nature of reality, consciousness and are inspired by the author's personal experiences on his journey of self-discovery.
