Govindas father, ruler of a small fortress kingdom at the edge of the Great Indian Desert, leads his men in a desperate attack against the besieging forces of the imperial army. Upon receiving word of his fathers death, Govinda is to lead his people into the sacrificial fire to avoid being ravaged by their cruel conquerors. However, Govinda has a plan. When Govindas plan goes awry, the emperor imprisons his mother in the palace harem, and the crown prince is forced to flee to Tibet with a caravan of lamas. At the foot of Tibets most sacred mountain, Govinda meets a Himalayan yogi who adopts him as a son. With the help of the enigmatic Shankar Baba, Govinda begins to unravel the mysteries of his soul, discovering a past extending beyond this life and a future promising a noble partner who helps him restore the throne to its rightful heir. As the seasons pass, Shankar Baba initiates Govinda into the secrets of enlightenment and immortality while preparing him to confront the imperial army, sinister forces controlling the throne, and a tantric sorcerer who seeks to discredit his guru. But no amount of training can prepare Govinda for what awaits him.

Book Description

During the war years of 1954–1975 between the communist government of North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam, America invaded a pledging ally of South Vietnam, thus ending what was known as the American war in Vietnam. The Second Indochina War left a lasting legacy of extreme American brutality. The armed forces, along with the prison systems, punishments, modes of attack, and physical and psychological tortures, were inconceivable. Aside from that, the Vietnamese perception of ghosts is what gave Vietnam a place in the horror section. The proper interment of bodies and religious rites are the main foundations of Vietnamese folklore. The battle, though, devastated that. According to them, the improperly and unconventionally buried bodies have a large possibility of leaving their souls in the earth, which wanders through the connected places. This idea was also manipulated later by the U.S. army as their war strategy. In addition, many of the soldiers had many eerie encounters during that period, including ghosts, strange creatures, mishaps, and more. Apart from these strange encounters, what people have endured at the hands of humans has been intolerable, such as war strategies involving booby traps, tunnels, torture in prisons, and so on.
