My Review

The Hooligan Turned Holy Man by Harsha Shastry is an inspirational and uplifting story about a young man who journeys from being a street thug to becoming a holy man. At the beginning of the book, we meet Sindu, a young reporter who intends to expose the new godman, Sangli Baba. Sindu later learns that he is a man who has lived a life of crime and violence on the streets of Bangalore. He is a hooligan and a thief. As the story progresses, the reader is taken on an emotional journey with Sangli Baba as he undergoes a transformation from a hooligan to a holy man. Two opposing thoughts collide, leading us to explore every inner notion.

It is easy to empathize with Sangli Baba as he struggles to make sense of his life. He began to question his past and pull to the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism. He gradually starts to understand the power of love and forgiveness and discovers the beauty of life. With the help of his spiritual mentor and the guidance of the other holy men he meets, he is able to find the courage to turn his life around.

Harsha Shastry, the author, has created a gripping novel that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. He expertly paints a vivid picture of life on the streets of Bangalore and the struggle to overcome a life of crime. It has intriguing characters and anecdotes that bring the story to life. His writing style is engaging and easy to follow.

Overall, The Hooligan Turned Holy Man is a fantastic book that will make an indelible impression on the reader. It is a story of transformation, hope, and redemption that will linger with the reader long after completing the book. It’s an inspiring read that will encourage readers to think more deeply about their life choices.
