Introduction AD 2008

A terrorist group attacked the world by planting viruses into global computer systems through a satellite orbiting the earth. This act of cyber terrorism disrupted air traffic systems, interfered with the control systems for water and electricity, blocked commercial communications, caused various network systems to crash, compromised the confidentiality of military information and defaced websites. In light of this cyber attack, the world faced a chaotic situation.

Shiva, a young, celebrated NASA scientist, destroyed the group's moves and saved the earth from the cyber attacks. To honor Shiva’s extraordinary performance, a felicitation function was held at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, Mumbai, on the fateful day of26 November 2008. Shiva, the cyber warrior, fell prey to the terrorist attack at the Taj Mahal hotel. Several images flashed through his mind while he lay in a coma in the ICU of a leading hospital in Mumbai. The images of war, weapons and weeping widows swamped his mind.

Were the flashes from his previous births?

The heroes who saved the planet from cyber terrorists C4 avoid succumbing to physical terrorism. Shiva’s unconscious mind questioned: Why?

The memories from his time in a coma were inexplicable They were like a patchwork quilt, with no apparent sequence or t relationship with one another. The purest and most extraordinary part of his journey had commenced deep in his state of coma, whence his cerebrum unleashed a quest to unravel his past. Then, all of a sudden, everything opened up. His mind entered a valley whose beauty he could witness with clarity.

He could see waterfalls, lakes and indescribable hues of silver and gold, with rhythmic hymns emanating from them Suddenly, the serene image disappeared and was reply images of war, weapons and weeping widows. He saw himself the mast of a tall ship, in a missile silo, on the watchtower mammoth fort, and on a great warship, guiding its cannons. He then saw images of himself moving out of the earth and out of the universe. He lost awareness of his own physical body during his coma. During this search, his mind realized many of his p states, breaking the shackles of the mysteries of his past lives. P> His mind was filled with the chorus of a great army out the name, 'Sagar, Sagar, Sagar ...' He was lying wounded on the battlefield, covered in deep cuts. There was bloodshed all around.

He was holding back his last breath, waiting for his me wife and newborn son. It was the battle between the Kauravas the Pandavas, in the land situated between two rivers, the Sarasvati and the Drishadvati, the land where Manu wrote his Manusmriti, and the land where the Rig and Sama Vedas were compiled.
