Produktbeschreibung
In 1942 as the Nazi Holocaust ravaged Europe a ship carrying art treasures was sunk by a German U boat near Africa. They were bound for the world's largest palace being built by Mahraja Umaid Singh of Jodhpur in India. He hired Polish refugee Stefan Norblin to design the palace's interiors with six magnificent murals from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Hitler was seeking the "Rod of God" to rule the world as Egypt, Assyria, Greece and Persia once had. India was trying to reclaim its glorious Vedic heritage as Mohenjo Daro, Harappa and the lost Saraswati river were being rediscovered. India's Renaissance was led by Gandhi's non-violent Freedom Movement and Rama's heroic victory of light over darkness became its best symbol. "Rod of God" is Author-Filmmaker C.S.Nag's inspired novel which combines fact with fiction and myth with reality to offer new insights into the great mysteries of our time like the legend of the Holy Grail.
