Such an instance of humanistic mysticism developed through innovative mythologies is Amish Tripathi ’s The Shiva Trilogy, based on the reconstruction of several Indian mythical characters and stories drawn from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Shiva Purana. Thus, literary articulations of mysticism render it closer to human imagination and the mythologies which develop out of this articulation bring forth the human elements in the divine. However, even in religious literature, we see a humanistic amalgamation of mystic impulses and the (literary)will-to-communicate. The traditional attitude towards mysticism centres round its association with religious sentiments, hence it often seems problematic to associate mysticism with secular literature.
