Sudha Murty is an Indian educator, author, and philanthropist. She is the Founder-Chairperson of the non-profit charitable organization Infosys Foundation. She is married to the co-founder of Infosys, N. R. Narayana Murthy.
I came to this book at exactly the right time in my life — which probably sounds like something everyone says, but I mean it genuinely. Sudha Murty's voice is calm and wise and completely non-preachy, and the ideas are presented in a way that feels immediately applicable. I have already re-read three chapters and underlined more passages than I can count.
I don't usually write reviews but this book genuinely changed something in me and I felt I owed it one. The Upside-down King: Unusual Tales About Rama and Krishna is the kind of reading experience that you feel in your body, not just your head. Profound, practical, and written with extraordinary care. Sudha Murty has produced something really special.
Reading this felt like a long conversation with someone genuinely wise. Sudha Murty has a rare ability to make ancient wisdom feel completely relevant to modern life — nothing feels dusty or theoretical. I have gifted this to three people already and every one of them has come back grateful for the recommendation.
This is one of those books I will keep on my bedside table for years. Not because it's heavy going — actually the writing is beautifully accessible — but because there is so much to return to. Sudha Murty covers ground that most of us are navigating and does so with real depth and compassion. Highly recommend.
There are self-help books that tell you what to do and then there are books that quietly shift the way you see things. The Upside-down King: Unusual Tales About Rama and Krishna is firmly the second kind. Sudha Murty takes ideas that could feel abstract and makes them feel personal and real. I found myself stopping after every few pages just to sit with what I had read.
