The Bridge Between Myth and Molecule: A Scientific Appraisal of Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy

Author(s) Randeep singh, Prof. Dr. Shalini Yadav
Country India
Abstract Indian Mythology/Hindu Mythology has been represented through a different lense of interpretation by Amish Tripathi in the Shiva Triloy, which includes The Immortals of Meluha (2010), The Secret of the Nagas (2011), and The Oath of the Vayuputras (2013). He tries to explain many of them through ideas that have a basis in modern science, instead of presenting the old stories entirely through supernatural events. Concepts related to cellular regeneration, oxidative stress mechanisms, radio wave propagation, and nuclear physics are woven into the story and become an important part of how the mythology is presented. In this way of representing mythology, the trilogy connects ancient Indian beliefs with the way a modern reader understands science and rationality. This also makes the stories easier for younger and more technologically oriented readers to relate to. At the same time, Tripathi uses the narrative to raise questions about issues that remain relevant today, such as environmental damage, inequality in society and the possible consequences of scientific progress. The trilogy can be understood as a combination of mythology and science, where the idea of progress is presented with both curiosity and caution.
