When the aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Om's revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future. So who is Om Shastri? Why was he captured? Board the boat of Om Shastri's secrets, Prithvi's pursuit and adventures of other enigmatic immortals of Hindu mythology in this exciting and revealing journey. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Country Of Origin | India | | Dimensions | 20.3 x 25.4 x 4.7 cm | | Generic Name | Book | | Importer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Isbn 10 | 0143455699 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0571348176 | | Item Weight | 190 g | | Language | English | | Net Quantity | 500.00 Grams | | Packer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Print Length | 256 pages | | Publication Date | 15 February 2022 | | Publisher | Penguin eBury Press | ## Images ![The Hidden Hindu: Science-Fiction meets Indian mythology in a nail biting thriller set in 2020 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZI8RyyynL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A compelling mythological thriller that mixes ancient secrets with modern intrigue. *by on Reviewed in India 17 June 2026* The Hidden Hindu is a gripping blend of mythology, history, and modern-day thriller that keeps you hooked from the very first page. Akshat Gupta weaves an intriguing narrative that connects ancient Indian legends with a contemporary storyline, creating a fast-paced and thought-provoking read.At the center of the story is a mysterious figure with a hidden past one that traces back thousands of years, touching upon characters and concepts deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. As the layers unfold, the book takes you on a journey through time, questioning immortality, destiny, and the untold truths of ancient India.What makes the book stand out is its cinematic storytelling short chapters, suspenseful buildup, and unexpected twists make it highly engaging. The integration of mythological elements feels fresh and imaginative, especially for readers who enjoy stories like The Immortals of Meluha or Asura.However, at times, the narrative prioritizes pace over depth, and some revelations may feel rushed. But the sheer curiosity it builds and the way it links mythology with fiction keeps you invested till the end. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a book for who love to read sci-fi, fiction,mythological *by on Reviewed in India 31 August 2022* Completely amazing story! Since Hindu mythology is so vast and has elements of rebirth and immortality, it gives creative minds amazing opportunity to utilize the myths, the prophecies, the legends, for the sake of story telling.The hidden hindu is based on the concept of the seven immortals in Hinduism who are believed to be alive even after the end of the epoch (yug) they were born in. I have long been fascinated by the idea of the last avatar of Vishnu- Kalki who is prophesied to descend on the earth at the end of Kali yuga. So, when I read the blurb, I was intrigued.The book definitely has a unique concept of blending science fiction with mythology, of finding a balance between past and present, mortality and immortality and this is why I really appreciated this book for its originality and story telling.The narration is the key when it comes to books that deal with such complicated themes and this book lacked the gripping narration it deserved. It reads like diary entries or even a play where characters just keep saying their lines without any descriptions of their body language, their surroundings, that can give us an insight into their motivations and explain what drives them for the reader to be able to connect with them and the story.The plot, like I said, is engaging and the book ends on an exciting note where you can't help but ask for more. Kudos to the author for being able to create a world that even though isn't perfect by any means, still manages to lure you in. I have the orijinal copy personally signed by the author akshat sir for me. Eagerly waiting for the next part.❤ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mix of Mythology and Science fiction *by on Reviewed in India 24 December 2023* A good read. You will never get bored for a second with this book. Will definitely recommend to the people who are beginners in reading.Have read this Triology completely after watching few interviews of author Akshat Gupta.Loved the way book starts. First part is very captivating. You will definitely start searching about Aghori sadhus while reading the first part :DBut after that as all the immortals will keep showing up.. the book will feel a bit like Marvels Avenger movie series with last book like the End Game where all the superheros will fight the evil. But still book will keep you hooked as you will get a lot to learn about Hindu Mythology/History as well.By the end of 3rd part you will keep hoping that the most loved immortal.. Hanuman ji.. will also appear and will turn the war in the favor of immortals but he doesnt :( may be author is going to continue the story from 3rd part.. coz of the way 3rd book ends.. At the end of book to your surprise one important character/avatar/immortal will realise about true himself.Hoping that next books/series too will come. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Hidden Hindu - PENGUIN The Hidden Hindu 2 - The Hidden Hindu: Book 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/352698025-the-hidden-hindu-science-fiction-meets-indian-mythology-in-nail](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/352698025-the-hidden-hindu-science-fiction-meets-indian-mythology-in-nail) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
