The book consists of 450 pages and is written in English by the author.San Bun Publishers assisted in the publishing of the book and the author’s wife Sumana Ranga Pai was his inspiration.Speaking to the audience, Ranganath Pai said that the book release is due to the grace of God and the first inspiration for it was his father who had written ‘Puranas’ which the author read later and it became a knowledge bank for this book. He said that the book tells us about how Lord Krishna wanted to destroy the ‘Kshatriyas’ (proctors of law and justice) and used his wits to create war between the Kauravas and Pandavas which would end the rule of kings for that period. Moily said that great books should be read in the right way by opening the doors for creativity and developmental thoughts. He said that reading these books will help us to solve the problems we are facing in our society currently.

He said that this culture can be understood by reading Ramayana and Mahabharata.Venkatesh Pai, son of the author, gave the vote of thanks and said the book was successful for his father worked on it waking at 4 am everyday.
