Book Review- Fiction

The  Immortal talks


This book is basically a spiritual fiction. The author or authors of this book have decided to stay anonymous as they have used a pseudonym 'Shunya' , so this book seems legit according to me but the readers might decide it for themselves.

It talks about a tribe called the Mahtangs who are devout followers of Lord Hanuman. ( By the way Mahtangs actually exist). It is said that after every 40 years Lord Hanuman himself visits these tribesmen  an imparts invaluable spiritual knowledge to them.

In the book there are also 3 monks who are secretly observing these tribesmen in order to gain insight into their lives and to see whether actually Lord Hanuman visits them.

Lord Hanuman actually does visit them and imparts knowledge to these people. At first he pays visit to the tribe leader but when he tries to tell his experience to his people they cannot hear only the part about Lord Hanuman, only when other people experience Lord Hanuman's visit then only they can share their experiences. In this way Lord Hanuman pays visit to each and every person in the tribe.


One important concept which he shares is about the soul and time and space. He says that not only space and time but all three space, time and soul are intertwined. It is said that the universe for a soul consists on time strings passing through a series of tunnels of space with the time strings not touching the space tunnels. When a free soul travels along these tunnels it can see various incidents happening in a person's life only if it touches the time string. The soul actually lives the life of that person. These tunnels are formed depending on the various life decisions  we take or do not take.
This was a very important insight for me an a thing to ponder upon during my free time
