Book Overview

Most Bhutanese know Zhabdrung as a religious leader and the founder of the Bhutanese nation. Author's compelling and holistic portrayal of this highly accomplished religious master and shrewd political leader offers a rarely explored aspect of the most important historical figure in Bhutan. The book's emphasis is on the battles over succession and the political machinations that followed his death and ultimately set the course for the next two centuries of Bhutanese history. Author carefully traces how these political complexities lead to the legitimization of succession through reincarnation

When you are a Buddhist and a Bhutanese at the same time, at times your mind gets clouded with all different kinds of questions which may sound sensitive politically or religiously. This book has opened to me many windows through which I can now see different views. I am very grateful to the author who has presented the detailed research and relevant comparisons on which as a reader myself I can count on to. The founder of Bhutan, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel who wished for ‘Uncle- nephew ‘ succession mode of Drukpa theocracy unified the country but after his secret seclusion, the country saw reincarnation succession mode followed; the battles over succession and the political machinations that followed his death and ultimately set the course for the next two centuries of Bhutanese history.I feel that no governing system is perfect in the world, however a system becomes perfect if the people it is serving are living a peaceful and harmonious life. Hence the system established in 1907 came in at the most crucial period and since then the Bhutanese people have been enjoying the blessings. This book came to me as an enlightening read and I do recommend you to as well mark on your reading list.
