The New Delhi World Book Fair 2026 proudly presents the launch of Guardians of Dharma: The Hidden Resonance – Part I by Ashish Goyal—a gripping Indian mythology fantasy that blends youthful adventure with the timeless wisdom of Sanatan Dharma.
This is not just a story about myths.
It is a story about listening—to silence, to conscience, and to the dharma that quietly guides us all.
About the Book
The Hidden Resonance, the first book in the Guardians of Dharma series, begins with an ordinary school, a cracked kitchen tile, and a mysterious humming disc. At Saraswati Valley Academy, four teenagers—Prisha, Raghav, Navya, and Manas—lead seemingly normal lives filled with exams, friendships, and dorm-room laughter.
But when they stumble upon an ancient object hidden beneath the school’s surface, the world around them changes. Silence begins to speak. The past begins to guide the present. And the teens find themselves drawn into a deeper journey—one that connects them to the eternal truths of dharma.
Blending fast-paced mystery with Indian mythological wisdom inspired by the Shrimad Bhagavatam, the story weaves powerful lessons through the tales of Dhruva’s penance, Matsya’s rescue, and Parashurama’s vow—revealing courage, compassion, discipline, and moral clarity in a form that resonates with today’s generation.
Inside the book, readers will discover:
- A thrilling YA and crossover fantasy rooted in Indian mythology
- A vibrant mix of school life, friendship, humor, and suspense
- Ancient wisdom presented through modern storytelling

- A bridge between teens, young adults, and parents through shared stories
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Aru Shah, and mythology-inspired adventures, this book speaks not only to teenagers but also to adults who believe timeless stories still have something powerful to say.
