This book is token of my reverence to Lord Padmanabha Swamy, the reigning Deity of Ananthashyanam, at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The Temple of Sree Padmanabha Swamy is a magnificent edifice built of thousands of stone blocks laid to shape over a period of several centuries. It is these stones-and the fascinating tales they unfold-that inspired me to write this book I reading the book, I could Visualize in front of me the Temple of Lord Anantha Padmanabha Swamy evolving to its final shape as an architectural marvel coupled with its spiritual halo-even as thousands of stone blocks poured in to its precincts to take their final positions in the structure. The book also reveals the spiritual bent of mind of Sathya in the way he describes the evolving bent of mind of Sathya in the way he describes the evolving of the Temple. I believe Sathya has achieved a hundred percent success in this mission of his.

This book should be studied by research students, Scholars and archeologists just to gauge how a researcher’s mind can unravel miracles from a thousand year old history.
