Yash Khajuria
The School of Creative Writing is pleased to congratulate Yash Khajuria, MFA. Yash’s thesis is a novel entitled His Blue God.
After 7 years as a professional comic book writer Yash came to the program to pursue his dream as a fantasy fiction author. He wrote a 250,000 word Epic Fantasy book named “The Lost King,” which won him entrance into the program. During his MFA, dabbling in different writing genres led him to try his hand at literary fiction. The novel “His Blue God” was the result. Its purpose however is beyond passions of creation, for Yash is a full time music-monk dedicated to sharing peace in the world through chanting mantras. This book is part of his mission to spread harmony and love in a world assuaged by conflict.
His Blue God tells the story of a Muslim-born Hindu saint defies religious orthodoxy by chanting Krishna’s names, enduring exile, torture, and miracles to become a spiritual icon who reshapes the meaning of devotion. Malik, the son of a respected Kazi (Islamic judge), lives a life designed by his controllingfather. When a reckless dare sends him into a Hindu temple, he meets Krishna not as doctrine, but as a presence. The Blue God’s gaze makes Malik feel seen for the first time, and he falls into a love that cannot be contained. But a Muslim noble loving a Hindu God is a crime that cannot be forgiven in 16th century Bengal.
