It follows the remarkable life of Eka, a simple hunter who is blessed, and cursed, with immortal- ity, living from 1300 B.C. to the present day. The story starts at the dawn of time, tracing key events like the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) and the battles of Kurukshetra. It follows the rise of Buddhism, the revival of Hinduism under Adi Shankaracharya, the reign of Hindu kings, the invasions and conquests of Bharat, and the British Raj, culminating in the fight for Independence and extending into a futuristic Bharat in 2123. Throughout his endless journey, Eka meets other mythological characters, immortal beings (Chiranjeevis), and important historical figures, embodying the idea that 'You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' The book dives into the challenges of eternal life, showing how even an immortal can be drawn into darkness over time. This epic tale encourages readers to think about what it means to live forever and how everything changes with time. Yet, through it all, Sanatan remains unchanged-then, now, and forever.
