š Synopsis:
Orphaned at a young age, Uttaran is entrusted by his mother to the care of the renowned ascetic Brahmachari Thakur, who raises him in the Satyasebi Ashram. Uttaranās childhood and adolescence unfold within the spiritual confines of the ashram, preparing him for a sacred destiny.
Before passing away, Brahmachari Thakur reveals that Uttaran is chosen to carry forward his spiritual teachings and spread his mantra. However, the harsh realities of life compel Uttaran to leave the ashram, challenging his faith and purpose.
He finds shelter with Anasuya, a woman deeply devoted to his well-being. Whether in Baranagar, Kolkata, or Atlanta, USA, Anasuya is willing to dedicate herself entirely to Uttaranās service. Yet, fate intervenesāone day, even Anasuya departs, leaving Uttaran alone with a mute girl-child, the only anchor in his turbulent life.
As Uttaran struggles to reconcile his spiritual legacy with worldly suffering, he begins to search for Godānot as an idol, an avatar, or a mere image, but as a true savior who alleviates human misery.
š "Mantra" is a powerful contemporary novel that delves into the profound relationship between man and God, faith and doubt, devotion and disillusionment.
