MRITYUSUTRA is a bold and unsettling novella by Mahadevan Thampi that stages an epic clash between two formidable forces: the compassionate spiritual Guru Arya, who dreams of eradicating sorrow from the world, and the ruthless, power-driven Atmanathan, determined to undermine him at every turn. Trapped in their ideological crossfire are ordinary individuals whose loyalties fracture and whose inner worlds unravel. Through psychedelic imagery, layered metaphors and an intense psychological landscape, Thampi crafts an allegory of eternal human conflict.
