Manoj Das is perhaps the foremost bilingual Oriya writer and a master of dramatic expression both in his English and Oriya short stories and novels. He says that:
"Characters follow the theme of a story, and the words are merely added by author to represent the thoughts of the character."That is the precise reason why Das's characters in fiction are from so many varied backgrounds, and display many different dimensions of human nature. He is a philosopher, a thinker-writer whose works can be defined as a quest for finding the eternal truth in everyday situations.

"Shesha Tantrikara Sandhanare," (Literal translation would be ‘In search of the last Tantrik’) Manoj Das's last Odia novel, centres around spiritual, philosophical, and mystical topics, as do most of his works. If you are not interested in mysticism or spiritual philosophy, or if you prefer to find a logical solution to everything you see or read, this is not the story for you. If Paulo Coelho's Alchemist influenced you in some way, Manoj Das' work may influence you as well, with the exception that all of the progress in Manoj Das' story occurs on a super conscious level of mind. For example, near the end of The Alchemist, the shepherd boy learns how to control the air, sand, and other elements for real. However, in Mr Das' novel, the protagonist Amy dream about these things and the comparable experiences occur in a super conscious level, and they serve as a sign of spiritual awakening. Having said that, the reference of Alchemist is solely for the purpose of providing readers an idea of the type of mysticism depicted in this story. This in no way implies that two authors or their works are similar.
The novel is set in the 1950s and 1960s in Rishikesh, Manali, Haridwar, Delhi, and other fictional states. It tells the story of a little girl whose unusual precocity is credited to her heavenly incarnation as a part of the supreme mother Durga / Kali. Vikram, the novel's protagonist, tells the story of his life, as well as the lives of the other characters connected to him: especially the little child. The writer not only makes this a very engaging read but also persuades you to think about the deeper values of life and to move beyond words and materialism with admirable humour, short tales set in the Himalayas from Hindu legends, and a seamless flow. It opines on the varied paths taken by "Tantra" and "Yoga" to realise the divinity through the plot and characters. It also talks about the evolution of Buddhism and how tradition of Tantra got into it.
While it initially entices you with the allure of human love and intimacy, it then motivates you to recognise its transience and how it all transcends to the bigger divine love. It makes you reconsider your relationship with nature and yourself. Although the magical heavenly era depicted in Hindu myths no longer exists in today’s Himalayan towns such as Manali, Rishikesh, and Haridwar, this work makes me want to visit those locations, reminisce that bygone real or imaginary world and dig a little deeper both physically and mentally to enjoy the utmost truth of self.
