Ever wondered whether ‘The Holy Ghost’ in Christianity and ‘Bhoothnath’ in Hinduism, or the concept of ‘The formless God’ as Allah and as Shiva, has more to it than meets the eye? Is there a common strand that binds them all? How does Shiva’s third eye destroy everything, and how does Brahmā’s mind create anything? Well, if you are one of those curious thinkers who keep looking for scientific evidence that give meaning to mythological tales, then get ready to be amazed. The hidden gems uncovered in this book will surprise you.

It explores a trail of breadcrumbs that gods might have laid for us to explore, and has something in it for everybody.
