The Hindu divine characters come from Indralok to our world and discover a new world at twenty light years via ETI. The new world of peace has no racism, terrorism or religious fanaticism. The discovery of a particle moving at a velocity faster than light by the outer world enabled the travel to and fro between the two worlds. The conflict of castes, religions and races of our world, often taking violent forms, are presented in an absorbing and scintillating narrative via the characters of a rustic family, wherein the divine characters set right our world and returned to their abode. The Hindu mythological tales intervening in the main plot keep the reader absorbed. The Yogic mysteries of the Himalayas add to the suspense.
