Govinda’s father, ruler of a small fortress kingdom at the edge of the Great Indian Desert, leads his men in a desperate attack against the besieging forces of the Imperial army.
Upon receiving word of his father’s death, Govinda is to lead his people into the sacrificial fire to avoid being ravaged by their cruel conquerors. However, Govinda has a plan…
When Govinda’s plan goes awry, his mother is imprisoned in the Emperor’s harem and the crown prince is forced to flee to Tibet with a caravan of lamas.
At the foot of Tibet’s most sacred mountain, Govinda meets a Himalayan yogi who adopts him as a son. With the help of the enigmatic Shankar Baba, Govinda begins to unravel the mysteries of his soul, discovering a past extending beyond this life and a future promising a noble partner who helps him restore the throne to its rightful heir.
As seasons pass, Shankar Baba initiates Govinda into the secrets of enlightenment and immortality while preparing him to confront the imperial army, a sinister Empress, and a tantric sorcerer who seeks to discredit his guru.
But no amount of training can prepare Govinda for what awaits him…
