About this issue
MOKSHA âSalvationâ This is the story about Indi and Avasthya, and their journey of finding the truth that binds their life, soul and destiny. Moksha also features two of the eight Chiranjivins (immortals in Hindu mythology) - Lord Hanumana and Lord Parshurama. The series is a riveting tale as the two Charanjivins, who have seen life differently have differences in opinions and contrasting ideals. Hanuman is the son of Marut, and is the icon of courage and patience. He is the defender of truth and dharma and is now a believer of peace and non- violence. Parasuram, the son of Rishi Jamadagni (who was the grandson of the mighty Aurva) is the sixth avatar of Vishnu. He had followed the path of merciless punishment through violence and bloodshed. Several interesting characters add greater depth and pulsating excitement in Moksha. To begin with there is a betrayed warrior who wants to take revenge against entire humanity and wipe out anything that comes in his path. Like every villain in the past, he is convinced that his actions are justified. Then there is a forgotten spirit; an evil who plans to corrupt the whole universe once again to complete its unfinished agenda. This epic is about the journey of the Atman (soul) of every single protagonist in this story to attain its completeness and to align itself with the almighty. However the crisis is precipitated when a source of eternal malevolence arises from the womb of time and through its utter wickedness alters the course of the whole Universe. Will it be possible to uphold the principles of righteousness and justice? Will it be possible to stand against the brute forces of corruption? Is it possible for two human siblings to find their way through the fields of chaos and darkness? How can peace and violence stand together and uphold the flag of independence?
About Moksha Series
Previously in Moksha Indi’s parents die trying to protect her from wolf-like demons in the Hindu Kush Mountains. Lord Hanuman hears Indi’s distress call and comes out of deep meditation and saves her. He promises Indi’s dying father that he would take care of her. At Indi’s father’s workshop they find a mysterious gift left for Indi by her father. Suddenly, wild wolves attack them. A beautiful white tiger fights the wolves, chasing them away. Unknown to Indi, the fearsome white tiger is the guardian of the fascinating divine gift which hides more than it reveals. The tiger wants them to follow it into the forest. The chief of the attacking wolf-demons is badly injured and humiliated, and plots revenge. His unwelcome guide the fearsome High Priest Vadrak warns him that soon evil personified is about to appear. Meanwhile, in Naraka, Yamaraja’s abode, a mighty intruder has stolen the scythe which has the power to steal souls, and provides immense power to the wielder. The thief is none other than Indrajeet, the son of the mighty demon Ravana. With the scythe, Indrajeet captures the souls of some sages who have been indulging in Black Magic and makes them his slaves. Indrajeet orders the sages to go across the lands and spread the news that the Wish Master has arrived. Unexpectedly, an extremely alluring and mysterious woman appears and mesmerizes Indrajeet. She seems to have great powers. She tantalizes Indrajeet before disappearing as suddenly as she appeared, confounding him. Meanwhile, at the Ashram of the Bhargavas, Avasthya, a young student, starts shooting firebolts from his entire body. He seems to have no control over these. He is punished and left standing in the cold night. Avasthya is attacked by Veesachs- flesh-eating demons. Lord Parashurama appears and slaughters many Veesachs with His powerful Axe. Suddenly, fire comes out of Avasthya’s eyes, and one Veesach is burnt to ashes. Later, students are talking about the next day’s competition to decide the best student. Avasthya seems quite sure that he will be declared the best student. Ayushman, a calm and serious student, cautions Avasthya regarding his overconfidence. Lord Parshuram overhears the conversation and is amused at Avasthya’s boasts.
