Vishwamitra - the Man who dared to challenge the Gods

Vishwamitra isn’t a religious book, nor a book on spirituality. It’s neither completely fiction nor entirely based on reality. Yet, it holds an important message, for it is the life story of an ordinary human who rose above the confines of his physical and mental boundaries to fight fate and take charge of his own destiny.

Many may know of him as one of the greatest rishis of Vedic times and some may even remember the role he plays in the Ramayan. But even those who are familiar with his name may not know that Vishwamitra was born a prince and became a Brahmarishi purely by virtue of his own efforts. You may be further surprised to know that he is also the discoverer of the Gayatri Mantra, the most popular hymn chanted by millions of Hindus all over the globe every day.

The book - Vishwamitra is the narrative of a brave king of Aryavarta, who broke all norms set by the society and not only attained fame through his military conquests but also became one of the most well-known sages of all time.

It is the story of a man who dared to challenge the gods.
