Kashi’s Keeper 

A young nature-lover from the Himalayas, Mahesh swims across the holy Ganges River in Varanasi and finds himself going on an extraordinary adventure in India, Africa, the Rain God’s Heaven and the underworld, with gods and goddesses, celestial beings, giants, a black dragon, ganas, goblins, ghosts, a Seeing Spider, imps, Seeing Stones, a black raven king, rare wild animals and Kalahari bushmen. Will this experience empower the young boy to help clean up the Ganges River, save endangered species and become an advocate for the compassionate treatment of the vulnerable people of the world?
