About the Author
Dwai Lahiri is a writer, long-time practitioner of the internal martial arts, and a student of the Daoist and Vedantic traditions. Growing up in Mysuru, India, he was captivated by the ancient tales his late paternal grandfather told. These early sessions planted the seed for the Mahasiddha Trilogy—a genre-bending saga that bridges the gap between Indian mythology, hard science fiction, and spiritual philosophy. Formerly writing under the pseudonym "Rudra" for the online portal Sulekha and later founding The Medhajournal, Dwai has spent decades exploring the intersection of consciousness and culture. A dedicated student of Taijiquan, he infuses his action scenes with the authentic mechanics of internal energy work. He currently lives in the United States with his daughter.
Book Description
The world of asura and dévas is considered mythological. Indian mythology is replete with tales of dévas battling the asura constantly. The interesting thing to note is that whether it is a God or an incarnation of a deity in human form, aka an avatar, there was also a human element involved in these stories. The teachers of the devas (gods) and the asura were human sages, known as rishis. Find out what happens when seemingly unconnected individuals get drawn into a world of suspense and action, as mythology collides with their world in the book 'The mahāsiddha field', The first in a new sci-fi/fantasy series!
