This book is written by well known speaker and author Devdutt Patnaik. This book is very similar to his book ‘7 Secrets of Shiva’. Both the books I think were published together and I even bought them together. Similar to ‘7 secrets of shiva’ this book also contains images on every left hand page and description on the right hand page, which makes the book more interesting.
As the name says, the book is about Hindu God Vishnu and it is divided into 7 parts as following:
1. Mohini’s secret
2. Matsya’s secret
3. Kurma’s secret
4. Trivikrama’s secret
5. Ram’s secret
6. Krishna’s secret
7. Kalki’s secret
Though the chapters are named as secrets, there is nothing unknown or new found or fake things about God Vishnu. It basically contains information about Vishnu’s all incarnations (Avatar) on earth. The book also illustrates many concepts from mythology along with images.
The book attempts to elaborate more about God Vishnu through different stories and author also illustrates them to help us understand more. All chapters in this book are very good but last chapter is very good.
I came to know many new stories about God Vishnu and it helped me to think in different perspective about the already known stories. It is really magical that the Hindu mythological literature always enables to you look at life in broader perspective. In fact it has definitely liberated me as a human being.
Most of the stories are rarely known to even Hindu’s and especially to today’s youth.
I would recommend this book to everyone.
