The Legend of Dagad Trikon by Grégoire de Kalbermatten
“When Jonathan O’Lochan, Counselor at the U.S. embassy in Cairo first saw the small monkey perched on a branch of a nearby acacia tree, he thought that the cute little visitor was pleading for food so he threw it a banana. But, in his wildest dreams, he could never have guessed that the pleasing of this particular monkey was about to change his life.”
So begins The Legend of Dagad Trikon, an action-packed, good-versus-evil, fantasy thriller that embraces ten thousand years of history. Journeying through Africa, Europe, India and America, it tells of four prophecies hidden by the Avasthas, an enlightened race who vanished aeons ago.
Jonathan and his friends find themselves unwittingly on a search for the greatest prize that mankind can attain: the secret to how we can transcend the perceived limits of the human mind. The Legend of Dagad Trikon offers a precise explanation as to how this can happen and posits that this is at the heart of the Holy Grail myth.
No brief description can do justice to The Legend of Dagad Trikon. One may legitimately describe it as Tolkienesque, and there are certainly elements of CS Lewis in the writing. What one can say for sure, is that it is an utterly unique and rewarding reading experience, full of subtlety and nuance, something to be re-read and savoured many times.

Please see what some readers have said:
“This is one of those rare books, like the master work of CS Lewis, which draw you in completely and compel you to participate with the protagonists on their amazing journey. Having heard such great things about the book from friends, I had very high expectations and I wasn’t disappointed. It was so enjoyable to be swept into such a captivating ‘reality’. Please let there be a sequel.”

“The Legend of Dagad Trikon is a phenomenal read. The author is at his best explaining the battles, inner and outer, that we all face daily.”

“I am eager to know the trick from the people who wrote that they make sure to read a few pages every day. I could not put it down until I finished it. It took almost a day to come back to the real life. Great book! Or may I call it a Legend? I am ready for a second go at it. Thanks to Mr. Grégoire.”

“This book is absolutely breathtaking. It is impossible to put down. It is something unlike anything else ever written before. The author brilliantly relates the connection of the underlying truths, hidden and forgotten, in different cultures over the world. The Legend of Dagad Trikon is deeply symbolic, and I feel that the author is describing something that is really happening here and now. As has been predicted, the time is approaching when religion and science will become one: no more believing, only knowledge through experience. I think this book is going to be a milestone in the evolution of Man’s ability to discover and use the full potential of the brain. The main characters in the book are discovering truths about the human race that have been, and are still today, forbidden to be spoken of in some places. An example is that no man or woman is higher than another; so no priests are necessary. Maybe this book is part of a silent revolution. It is incredible how subtle and intelligent the power from which he got his inspiration must be.
Thank you, Mr. Kalbermatten, for sharing this with us.”

A peasant noticed that his wallet with money had disappeared. Searching throughout the house, he couldn’t find the wallet and concluded that it had been stolen. Thinking of those who had recently visited him, the peasant decided that he knew the thief: it was the neighbour’s son. The boy had dropped in at the peasant’s house just before the wallet disappeared. It was obvious that nobody else could have committed the theft.
On meeting the boy the next time, the peasant noticed a lot of signs in the boy’s behaviour, confirming his suspicions. It was obvious that the neighbour’s son was embarrassed; he turned his eyes away and looked like a mischievous cat. In general, every gesture and movement proved he was a thief. But the peasant hadn’t any exact evidence and he didn’t know what to do.
Each time he met the boy the boy looked even guiltier and the peasant’s anger grew stronger. At last, he was so irritated that he decided to meet the thief’s father and bring him an accusation. Unexpectedly, his wife called him. “Look what I’ve found behind the bed!” she said and gave him the “stolen” wallet.
The next day the peasant cast a look at his neighbour’s son again: none of his gestures and movements gave witness that he was a thief.
When I talk of love, people think that I am trying to make you weak people because people think that those who love are weak. But the most dynamic power in this world is that of love. The most aggressive power is that of love. Even when we suffer in love, it is out of our strength that we suffer and not out of our weakness …
The love that Iam talking about, the divine love, makes you not only strong, but dynamic. It is the greatest, luminous power that we can think of. Only when love is surrounded by gross and is lost in the gross, it looks as if it is weak and under chains. At the time it is released, the dynamic power of love can transcend all the evil powers of the world …
But it is not now for the realized to sit down and to wonder and laugh at the foolishness of the people who are not yet realized, not even to take pity on them, but to come out, come out with the sword of love, to win the whole world. It is very, very essential …
All the wrong ideas about love, all the falsehood about love has to be given up. One must know that it is the dynamic power. And it won’t allow you to sit comfortably with yourself, enjoying the peace and the bliss, when the rest of the world is not enjoying that and is playing into the hands of these evil geniuses who have come in this world to destroy, to bring the satanic realm on this Earth …
Today is the day to brighten up your understanding about your own strength that is within you. Those who are gross should worry about their insecurities and their problems and their organizations, but not for the people who are realized …
You are never alone when you are realized. There have been many people who have been realized, before even you were born, who exist, who are happy to help you at every moment.
Shri Mataji, 1973
While waiting for my wife to return home, I put on a CD to listen to the Sahaja Yoga radio program which I had downloaded a few days before. I was relaxed as I was listening to the presenter’s soothing voice, as he was going through the self-realisation process. In this process, we are asked to put our attention on various chakras by placing our hands on each chakra in turn.
I remember reaching the stage where I placed my hand on the upper part of my abdomen, to give confirmation of self-mastery. At that point I must have dozed off. The next thing, I felt as if someone was shaking me and telling me to wake up, and THAT person placed my hand on my heart chakra. I was startled! There was no one else in the room or, for that matter, in the house. The experience gave me a wonderful feeling which is indescribable.
