Westland Books to release ‘Rama of the Axe’ on May 22

Westland Books to release ‘Rama of the Axe’ on May 22

New Delhi, Apr 28 (UNI) Westland Books on Friday announced the release of ‘Rama of the Axe’, a book by debut writer Ranjith Radhakrishnan, on May 22.

The book is the author’s attempt to convey Parashurama’s magnificence in words for the modern reader. It is an insight into the great sage’s mind and heart, his trials and triumphs, and the incredible weapon he created.

Ranjith said in a statement, “Parashurama is a fascinating avatar, and there is more to his story than meets the eye. He is the only avatar to meet other subsequent avatars. He is an immortal—a Chiranjeevi, and a future Saptarishi—the seven great rishis who protect and teach Dharma. Parashurama (named as Jamadagneya, the son of Jamadagni) has a hymn credited to him in the Rig Veda corpus. For someone so versatile, who spans the worlds of Veda and Tantra, whose story connects the four corners of Bharata, we unfortunately know of him only as the angry sixth avatar of Mahavishnu.”

The book will be formally launched by actor Kichcha Sudeep in Bangalore on a yet to be decided date. The actor said, “Ranjith Radhakrishnan weaves a fantastic tale, bringing so many dimensions to it. The book takes a grip on you from the start and never lets go. You feel that you are inside the story, seeing things happen around you, and it all leads up to an incredible climax.”

Commenting on the announcement of the book Sanghamitra Biswas, Executive Editor, Westland Books added, “Ranjith Radhakrishnan is a fabulous storyteller, and we are so excited to publish his audacious and fierce debut, Rama of the Axe. This retelling of the legend of Parashurama is packed with action and drama and makes for a superbly engrossing read.”
