The Hidden Hindu Part 3
We have completed Akshat Gupta's The Hidden Hindu part 11 and part 2 This is the final part. Before reading this blog, I recommend visiting Parts 1 and 2.
The story continues with Prithvi and Mrs. Batra. As you know, Prithvi narrates the story. All the immortals were happy because they thought they had killed Nagendra. But they didn’t know that Shukracharya was with him and had the power to revive him.
Now, Om knows his past. During meditation, he realizes something important — that Devdhwaj was none other than Om himself before becoming immortal. He, along with his friends, the messenger, and his mysterious pet Nibhisha (who had the power to transform into nine different species, including elephant, tiger, lion, octopus, snake, etc.), was travelling to Kailash Parvat. But before they could reach, Nagendra arrived — Om’s evil form. There were two bodies of Om. Nagendra promised Om, “I will kill you,” and let his pet and messenger go. They fought, and Om won. The next day, Nagendra came back, but this time he won through deceit. Before Om died, Nagendra learned that the messenger’s name was Nagendra, and he adopted that name. Later, the demon guru Shukracharya arrived, and Nagendra became his pupil.
Dawned Dwarka
All the immortals relaxed because they believed Nagendra had died and Earth was safe. But Nagendra was still alive. He collected material from Goa and moved to the mysterious city of Dwarka — the land of gods. He discovered the hidden city, admired its outstanding architecture, and then destroyed it. Massive floods followed, reaching other districts of Gujarat. When Parshuram learned about this, he arrived and saved many lives.
Nagendra didn’t stop there. His next hidden spot was the Ellora Caves. Cave number seven has a huge temple dedicated to Lord Shiva — carved out of a single rock, built from top to bottom. Nagendra faced problems because the immortals were aware of his plan. Parshuram came to stop him. He was powerful but couldn’t defeat Nagendra and got trapped beneath the cave. Later, Vriksh Kapi and Kripacharya helped him.
Dashavatar
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्।।
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे।।

But Bali couldn’t come to Earth because of a curse. Instead, he sent a message to Vibhishan, asking him to come and meet quickly. Bali said, “If there is a fight, I will remain neutral.” When Vibhishan reached Patal Lok, Nagendra had already destroyed another place.
Veerabhadra Temple (Lepakshi Temple)
The Veerabhadra Temple, also known as the Lepakshi Temple, is a remarkable example of ancient Indian architecture and sculpture. Adorned with murals and carvings depicting stories from the Puranas, Ramayana, and Mahabharata, the temple features a mound dedicated to Lord Shiva and a large Nandi bull carved from a single rock. Beyond the Kalyana Mandapa lies a mysterious, perpetually moist footprint believed to be that of Goddess Sita — marking the temple as a historic stop for King Ravana on his way to Lanka after abducting her. Nagendra and his team came there and destroyed it. They faced no resistance because the immortals didn’t know the exact location, so they lost another place.
Vibhishan contacted Shukracharya and requested him to stop, but Shukracharya refused and ended the conversation. Mahendra cut LSD’s womb and took out the child before nine months; LSD died. Parimal, frustrated, shot Nagendra — but Nagendra didn’t die. However, Parimal broke the divine rules and turned half-serpent and blind. Other demons injured him but didn’t kill him. They then moved toward the last location — the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, the richest temple in India.
Parimal said, “Vedvyas, save my child. The last location is the Padmanabhaswamy Temple.” Vedvyas quickly arrived there through the Pushpak Viman and saved Parimal’s child. Other immortals also gathered at the final spot.
There was no hidden door. Nagendra said, “It’s a trap — the last spot is Om himself.” Shukracharya began chanting a shloka, and suddenly the door opened. Millions of demons emerged from it. On the other side stood Parshuram, Vriksh Kapi, Ashwatthama, Kripacharya, Nibhisha, and all of Gyangraj’s brave animals. It was a terrible battle — sometimes demons led, sometimes the immortals. The demons came continuously from the door like flowing water. Ravana, Meghnath, Kumbhakarna, and Hiranyakashyap also arrived. Soon after, King Bali and Vibhishan joined on the immortals’ side. After a long struggle, they finally closed the door, killed Nagendra, and cut his body into nine pieces, dividing them among themselves.
In the end, Mrs. Batra asked Prithvi, “How do you know about all these events so deeply?”
Prithvi replied, “I am Parimal’s child, adopted by Om — he told me the entire story.”
