Book Review-The Man From the Egg

Book Review: Mani Kumar from Team Samarpan

Book Title: The Man from the Egg

Author: Sudha Murthy

Those who are interested in mythology,  I recommend this book for you. This book is an amazing read about the Devathas and Devas.

The author of the book is Sudha Murthy garu. She is the chairman of Infosys. She was born in 1950 in Shiggaon in north Karnataka.


The theme of the book is TRINITY. The first chapter of the book is about Brahma (The creator) “OMKARA SWARUPAM”, the second chapter is about Shiva (The destroyer ) “SATYAM SHIVAM SUNDARAM” and the last chapter is about Vishnu (The Preserver) “SAMBHAVAMI YUGE YUGE”.

In that book my favourite story is “half-man, half woman”. In this story, Lord  Shiva talked about the equality of man and woman; Lord Shiva gave half a body to Matha Parvati. When I was reading this book I was excited about what happens next in the story. I was very interested when I was reading the story, “The Bones of Dadhichi”. Dadhichi was a pious and kind sage, and an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu”.

When Dhadhichi turned the Devathas’ weapons into liquid and drank it, I was excited to see what happens next after the Devathas come for their weapons. The sage said that “I will burn in the fire and you can take my bones as weapons”. For the  king of Devaloka, Indra’s Vajrayudham was made. The book gives a brief information about TRINITY.
