Stolen Words

When Maya Rodriguez’s hospitalized grandmother quoted her favorite verse from the Bhagavad-Gita, something felt wrong. The words didn’t match her own copy of the same translation. What begins as a granddaughter’s curiosity becomes an obsession. Maya discovers the translation was quietly rewritten. Not just edited—transformed, subconsciously reshaping her entire relationship to the divine. “The Blessed Lord” turned into “The Supreme Personality of Godhead.” Two versions, two entirely different spiritual paths. When the words she built her life on are secretly altered, what does it reveal about those who made the edits? Her discovery would shake the foundations of modern spiritual practice.

This is a gripping novel about the stories we inherit, the authorities we trust, and the power of words.
