Set against the stunning backdrop of Kerala on the southwest coast of India and the magnificence of Arizona's Grand Canyon, The Payyoli Pendant merges modern-day technology with ancient, tantric practices. A precious diamond pendant adoring the brass idol of the Goddess Devi of the Payyoli Temple is the object of possession for the head priest, Varadaraja Bhattar and his nemesis, the Prasnam Namboodiri. The large-sized diamond and the idol, both now with a young girl, Harani, and her cousin, Manikkam, are the embodiments of none less than God Shiva and his consort Devi. Together, they form the all powerful Shiva-Shakti combination which regulates the Universe and must be safeguarded at all costs. The two young protagonists are helped by no one less than the Goddess Devi herself, whose divine energy and manifestations of intervention, work side by side with the 21st century technologies to ensure that the prized pendant, which possesses enormous spiritual powers, is protected. The clash between good and evil, ancient and the present, results in a dramatic climax. The Payyoli Pendant gives a thrilling portrayal of how ageless, supernatural powers parallel the information highway and modern-day science.
Two people seek to protect a pendant that holds the power of important Hindu gods and receive the help of a powerful goddess.
Synopsis: Draupnir, the magical golden arm ring of Odin, is carried away by the mystical Hindu bird Garudan. The Norse Gods desperately want it back, but are dependent on the help of the Hindu Gods. Freya, the Norse Goddess of wealth, beauty and love, undertakes the recovery mission by dealing directly with the Hindu God Vishnu, whose vehicle for flying happens to be none other than Garudan.The ring is cursed by Devi, the Goddess of Payyoli, making it lose its magical power of producing eight fresh gold rings every ninth day. Even worse, the ring lands at the bottom of an icy lake in the Himalayas. Freya engages the two Norse dwarfs who had originally forged the ring to retrieve it from the lake.The recovery of the stolen ring involves Harani and Manikkam, the protagonists of the author's first book, The Payyoli Pendant, as well as modern technologies used by the Norse Gods.
In the Indian Vedic system of planetary worship of the nine major planets – the Navagrahas – most important are Saturn (Shani), Mars (Mangal) and Jupiter (Guru). The planets’ periodical celestial transitions affect human lives. Of these three planets, the first two are considered extremely malevolent. This fascinating adventure story handles the two planets in rather extreme ways: Mars for its futuristic space technology ventures, and Saturn as described in Hindu/Mayan mythological scriptures. Seven idols from the Navagraha square-shaped constellation of the famous Thiruvalla Temple have been missing for almost 2,000 years. The Temple priests seek the help of Harani and Manikkam (the two tech-savvy teenagers from the Payyoli Trilogy series) to find them. The duo is also involved with the SpaceX project for human colonization of Mars. Two scientists from SpaceX on their visit to India mysteriously vanish in their helicopter while exploring the effects of Saturn at the temple of Thirunallar. How the search for the missing Hindu idols leads Harani and Manikkam to the Yucatan caves where the two missing SpaceX scientists are held captive offering prayers to the missing idols, forms the gripping finale of the novel
When Rajavijayan, a Tamil tea picker, murders a top official – the tea taster – of a tea estate in Sri Lanka, the young man is forced to flee to Nepal via India. Traveling through the wild and hilly country, Rajavijayan chances upon a swamiji (Hindu mystic) living in the Nepalese mountains. With the swamiji’s help, he gets a job at the nearby tea plantation at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains. Here he hopes to conceal his identity and live a normal, quiet life. But the wanted man is slowly drawn in by the spiritual teacher, moving him to live with the old guru in his cave, where Rajavijayan sets upon a journey of inner enlightenment. He seeks divine secrets, and most importantly, acceptance from his new master. And when the son of the man Rajavijayan murdered is supposed to arrive at the Nepalese tea plantation, the killer-turned-neophyte will have to face his crime, and reconcile with whom he must keep the temple running as per his master’s final instructions.

The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nesting beaches and commercial fishing. There are only twenty-nine index beaches in the world where these turtles nest, and there is immense pressure to develop most of them into homes or resorts. At the same time, longline and gill net fisheries continue to overwhelm waters frequented by leatherbacks. In The Leatherback Turtle, James R. Spotila and Pilar Santidrián Tomillo bring together the world’s leading experts to produce a volume that reveals the biology of the leatherback while putting a spotlight on the conservation problems and solutions related to the species. The book leaves us with options: embark on the conservation strategy laid out within its pages and save one of nature’s most splendid creations, or watch yet another magnificent species disappear.
