The Divine Bridge
About this ebook
To rescue her, Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu whose skin held the deep, celestial blue of a twilight sky, had to cross the vast, churning expanse of the southern ocean. Its waves crashed against the shore with a thunderous roar, a constant, menacing percussion that spoke of insurmountable power. The water was a swirling tapestry of sapphire, turquoise, and angry white foam, and its scent was of salt, secrets, and immense, unknowable depths. The task seemed impossible, a dream that would break upon the rocks of reality.
Yet, in Bharat, where the divine walks hand-in-hand with mortals, hope is a resilient flame. The revered rishis of the land, men who could hear the whispers of the cosmos and smell the fragrance of a prayer, came together. They would not raise an army of swords, but an army of spirit. They would not build a bridge of mere stone, but a bridge of faith, a divine path woven from mantra, wisdom, and the very elements of creation. This is the tale of that bridge, of the journey to build it, a saga filled with the blinding light of divine interventions, the cacophony of monstrous challenges, the vibrant colors of devotion, and the profound, soul-stirring teachings of the sages.
