Synopsis
Brahmahatya A novel of karma, ritual, and the consequences that follow the soul In the stillness of a South Indian retirement home, a man signs in under another name. He is not there to heal. He has come to atone--or to destroy. Ravi Narasimhan is a son hollowed by loss. Denied dignity for his dying father by Dr Chari, an unfeeling Brahmin doctor, Ravi arrives seeking a reckoning shaped not by law, but by dharma. As the days unfold, GMR Residency becomes a site of quiet ritual: where kriya passes as routine, where chant and silence blend, and where karmic threads--long knotted--begin to stir. Around him move others caught in their own reckonings: * Bhavna, the assistant manager, poised between compassion and the heavy burden of memory * Sridhar, a clerk whose innocence begins to splinter at the edges * Pishacha No. 3, a woman whose very name unsettles the air * And Mr Kasturi, the enigmatic founder--seer, sentinel, and perhaps something more Haunted by grief and fuelled by rage, Ravi teeters between self-destruction and brahmahatya --the act of killing a Brahmin, a sin darker than ordinary murder. In the shadows, ancient stories echo: the Samudra Manthan , when gods and demons churned the ocean in search of nectar but first summoned poison. So too here: before moksha , there must be memory. Before liberation, there must be reckoning. Woven with verses from the Mahabharata , Bhagavad Gita , Maha Mrityunjaya , and Vishnu Sahasranama , Brahmahatya is both a modern parable and a psychological thriller: * How silence may sanctify when speech has failed * Why ritual, when performed with intention, becomes justice * How the soul remembers what the mind forgets * And what it means to offer up memory as oblation A finalist for the 2017 SPR Book Awards, Brahmahatya is no conventional narrative. It is a tapasya , a sacred heat, a mantra wrapped in ash awaiting the reader's gaze to set it free. The final page bears only a single word. Om., A story of revenge and redemption and deeds shaped by forces that humans believe they have defined through mythology and scriptures but still struggle to understand.A woman employee of a retirement home is shocked to discover that a new resident is in fact the son impersonating his father. The son is seeking revenge. She, by her past actions, is unwittingly complicit in his being there and now tries to thwart his peculiar plans. A senile woman-resident and an enigmatic founder offer him sage advice. The samudra manthan (a major episode in Hindu mythology), a slightly dim secretary and a sinister boss play their part in ensuring justice is finally served but in an unexpected manner.The novel quotes frequently from the ancient Hindu scriptures and stories that the protagonists use to justify their actions. The treatment of the elderly in society is a major theme. 2017 SPR (Self-Publishing Review) Book Awards FINALIST, A story of revenge and redemption; deeds shaped by forces that humans believe they have defined through mythology and scriptures but still struggle to understand.
