The latest viral Mytho sci-fi Book Chiranjeevi Bhava part 1 of the series, was awarded by Times Applaud In Mumbai at a Gala Event. Writer Naresh Madhukar received Best Fiction Author Award in the Presence of Author Chetan Bhagat.
The Book series is a miraculous combination of Mythology and science . The Narrative revolves around the endless adventure of a scientist’s team in quest of finding DNA samples of the seven immortal Devtaas in Hindu Puraans . The first part of the series fired the Bestseller Chart just Two months back in which the readers enjoyed Dr Sharat the scientist’s journey to crack the immortal code in the DNAs of Vaayuputra Hanuman, Ashwatthama, Kripacharya and Rakshasraj Vibhishan.
Naresh Madhukar’s latest installment of the series Chiranjeevi Bhava 2 , is a thrilling Journey of Exploring to find the DNA samples of rest of the three Immortal Devtaas In Hindu Mythology. That is Rajaa Bali , Bhagwaan Parshuraam and Sage Ved Vyaas—a seamless continuation of the bestselling original that once again raises the bar for mytho-science fiction in Indian literature.
At the heart of this novel lies a fascinating premise: Dr Sharat The protagonist—a brilliant but emotionally wounded scientist—is driven by his late archaeologist father’s research diary, which contains cryptic clues about the legendary seven “Chiranjeevis” from Indian scriptures. These immortal figures—Ashwatthama, Bali, Vyas, Hanuman, Vibhishan, Kripacharya, and Parashuram—are reimagined here not just as mythical beings but as living carriers of biological secrets that could alter the course of humanity.
Naresh Madhukar’s blend of myth and science is both imaginative and well-researched. He roots his fiction in scripture but propels it forward with DNA sampling, biotechnology, and ancient medical theories. What makes the book stand out is its careful narrative balancing: the wonder of divine legacy and the logic of modern-day scientific inquiry.
The protagonist’s personal journey is no less gripping than the epic nature of his quest. Grieving, vulnerable, and yet determined, he travels across timeworn temples, hidden caves, and remote geographies in search of DNA traces from the Chiranjeevis. Along the way, he encounters scholars, spiritual guides, and shadowy institutions, all of whom either aid or obstruct his progress. Through it all, Madhukar paints a vivid tapestry of India’s cultural and spiritual landscape, layered with suspense and symbolic meaning.
The novel’s greatest strength lies in its ability to make the reader pause and reflect—what if these legends were true? What if mythology is merely unrecognized history? What if faith and science could converge in a way that redefines both?
Madhukar’s writing is fluid and cinematic. He uses rich descriptions and builds palpable tension, especially in the scenes where scientific breakthroughs are paralleled by spiritual revelations. His ability to keep the reader invested in both emotional depth and intellectual curiosity is commendable. Readers who enjoy Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code or Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy will find this book equally riveting but uniquely rooted in Indian ethos.
Chiranjeevi Bhava 2 is more than just a sci-fi adventure—it is a thoughtful meditation on faith, heritage, and the limitless bounds of human inquiry. It challenges readers to reconsider what they accept as myth and what they define as truth.
Naresh Madhukar has crafted a second sequel that not only builds on the first book’s legacy but also boldly expands its thematic scope. With its deft fusion of Vedic legends and futuristic imagination, this novel is a must-read for lovers of mythological fiction and science fantasy alike.
