"The Last War" Chapter 2

Near the great common bath, was a huge temple of Lord Shiva. The stone slabs were well carved with the stories of Shiva Purana, that sung the glories and the stories of Lord Shiva since the beginning of the universe, and that was even before the first songs were sung by Manu and his descendants. Lord Shiva was referred to as Mahadeva, the Lord of the Devas. Beside Lord Shiva, the temple had statues of Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva's consort, the feminine power; and their children, Lord Karthik, the warrior God (born out of their meditative yogic union) and Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles (born from Goddess Parvati's skin cells and later transplanted with the elephant head by Lord Shiva Himself). The temple also had carvings and murals of the trinity, Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the sustainer) and Maheshwara or Shiva (the destroyer, who was known to destroy in order to create new). It also had engravings of the Devas, headed by Lord Indra. Along with Lord Indra (The God of lightening), were other Devas like Lord Surya (Sun God), Lord Vayu (God of Wind), Lord Agni (God of Fire), Lord Chandra (Moon God) and so on. The temple also had beautiful carvings from the vedic literature on the stoned walls. It had a pyramidal dome meant to bring in maximum spiritual energy. The pyramidal dome was also believed to connect to the Sky Gods (the Devas). However, since it had not been used for generations for this purpose, the whole belief was now turning into a myth. But the natives believed in the spiritual energy of the pyramidal structures and its spiritual connection with the higher world...

The Last War & Other Stories - An Excerpt

An excerpt from my book "The Last War & Other Stories"

The war was far from over... in fact, it was just the beginning. There was destruction all across the two armies. However, casualties were running high in the army of the Pauravas (the descendants of the Pandavas and the Kauravas), whose kingdom spread across the northern part of the land of Bharata (Ancient India) up to the Hindu Kush,  including the Sindhu  (Indus) Valley region. All prayed and hoped that victory would be in the side of dharma (righteousness).

Senapati (Head of the army) Agrasena was waiting in the palatial hall of king Nripanjaya. Agrasena was the head of the army of the entire Paurava kingdom. He had travelled a long distance over the horse with some of his trusted soldiers from Sindhu (the Indus) valley up to Kausambi, to appraise the highness of what he had witnessed himself... the mammoth invasion of the Gandharvas, who had penetrated through the first line of defence of the huge Paurava army that was defending its borders in the Hindu Kush region. Having seen such a terrible carnage, Senapati Agrasena, on the advice of the noble priest king Dharmasena of the Indus Valley region, had rushed to meet the highness himself. The huge Gandharva army was now marching to capture the city of Hariapa, and the Paurava army was giving a tough resistance... but they were losing ground.
