Shankaracharya: Spilling Holy Blood (Unabridged‪)‬

Adi Shankaracharya has been anointed as the new leader of the Sanatana Dharma and the Hindu faith. He now sits as the head of the faith as the new Shankaracharya after the demise of his guru, Swami Swaroop, who died from a snakebite. 

After becoming the supreme leader of the faith, he starts a process of temple land reform and distribution of free food. His reforms are met with resistance in the Mahasabha. The Tiwari family oppose him and his reforms. It is here that Shankaracharya takes on the help of Shambhu, a chandal at the cremation ground, to silence his detractors. The book Shankaracharya is an inside look at the politics, intrigue, and skullduggery that go on inside the most ancient Hindu spiritual organization.
