Either as a \u2018Nirakar\u2019 (formless) entity or as the life\nenergy in every living being, Shiva thrives in people\u2019s\nconsciousness. Shiva\u2019s presence is not only felt in the chants and\nprayers of ascetics, but also in the common man\u2019s household, in\nfolklores. And in the hearts of every woman who aspires to see\nShiva\u2019s virtues in their husbands. This is the love story of\n25-year old Kattyayni, who saw Shiva and His various \u2018Gunas\u2019 in a\nman. In a firangi, to be precise. Yes, you read it right. A\nbrown-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned, 6-footer firangi, born from an\nAmerican father and a Spanish mother. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kattyayni,\nwho grew up in a traditional Bengali family, has always felt\nfascinated about the sweet-cute-dutiful, passionate, and sometimes\ntragic Shiva-Parvati romance, the stories of which she has been\nhearing from her grandmother since the onset of adolescence. Deep in\nKattyayni\u2019s mind sits the Lord, spreading His aura throughout her\nconscious and subconscious mind. So when Kattyayni meets \u2018Rudra\u2019,\nthe firangi who demonstrates a \u2018shuddh desi\u2019 way of life by\nembracing yoga, rudraksh, dhoti, khichdi, and his beloved \u2018Shiva\u2019,\nKattyayni finds a deep connection with him. This is a connection that\ngoes beyond the level of her heart to touch her soul, to a point\nwhere love becomes totally unconditional. She sees Neelkanth,\nAdiyogi, and Vaidyanath in the firangi. But at the same time, she\nfeels a deep desire to know Rudra\u2019s actual identity. Who is Rudra? \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in the mixed cultural backdrop of Goa and flavoured with the ethnic specialties of Kolkata, this romance will surely knock at the minds of those who are in love or looking to find true, selfless love.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"981\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?fit=696%2C534\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=768%2C589&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=1024%2C785&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=696%2C533&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=1068%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/writinggeeks.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-11-at-1.07.31-PM.jpeg?resize=548%2C420&amp;ssl=1 548w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>About The Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dipnanda Bhaduri Roy is a professional content writer at a Bangalore-based KPO that serves clients from all over the world.
