Abstract
‘Change is the law of Nature’ we all know this proverb. While bringing the change in society, everybody wants the change for good. But what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad’. This question is too difficult to answer by anyone because truth varies from person to person. That which is good for one person may not be good for another person. So finding the ultimate truth or ultimate good is not an easy task. Moreover, Amish’s philosophy in Shiva trilogy says that nothing is permanently good or bad. That which is good for present generation, if not controlled, will surely become evil one day, as it is said that excess of everything is bad. This philosophy can be seen again and again in literature especially in Indian mythologies. Amish explains this philosophy didactically in his trilogy. Through his mouthpiece, i.e. Shiva, he very brilliantly discloses the Indian philosophical mythology i.e. nothing is permanently good or bad. This philosophy is still relevant in present Indian scenario. The paper aims to bring out the connection between this philosophy and present Indian civilization.
