Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna, who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual Dark Age-the Kaliyug. In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar. Only, he is a serial killer. In this heart-stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret-Krishna's priceless legacy to mankind. Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash, in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna's most prized possession. From the sand-washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice. Ashwin Sanghi brings you yet another exhaustively researched whopper of a plot, while providing an incredible alternative interpretation of the Vedic Age that will be relished by conspiracy buffs and thriller-addicts alike.… (mehr)

I enjoyed reading this book. However, can't help but draw parallels with Dan Brown's works. There are too many similarities. Starting with unlikely villain, the know-it all protagonist, jet setting characters (always on the run), the (unwitting) hero who was insinuated into a crime, the fanatical henchman, ambigrams (symbology ), troubled pasts etc.,

The climax of the novel reminded me of The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. All the build up of 420 pages petered out to nothing towards the end.

I liked the 'Indian touch". ( )

I couldn't like the book. I was able to predict the end before reaching half-way. The language was very immature and incoherent (at least in the Kindle version, the paperback version might be better edited). The symbolism was forced and at every step it looked like the writer was conveniently using the mythological symbols and references in order to meet the story line.
Da Vinci Code was a great book in this genre, but this book fails terribly short of the expectation. ( )

First, let me emphasise one thing that this book is a bit hard to read. Anybody can read the story where boy and girl loves each other, their parents rejects first, then regrets and rejoice later... But this book and theme is somewhat unique.. I recommend it for all those who want a deviation from routine story of chirping birds.
This title is written with the strong foundation called research. A bow to Ashwin for his efforts. Many spiritual concepts has the scientific reason behind it, the thing is that we don't know those. Krishna key is an attempt to reason some of them.
I absolutely loved the connections between Dwaapara yuga and Kaliyuga... Ultimately, a book worth trying for those who carve to know something or anything :) ( )

I just read another novel which is a mimicry of Dan Brown’s work. But, frankly a pretty good effort. Even though I've read all of Brown's novels and this genre is anything but new to me, I did enjoy the thrill of the chase. The continuous fast paced story and the numerous deathly encounters and narrow escapes ensure continuous excitement for this proverbial adrenaline junkie.
