into a ditch which killed him on the spot. The
motorcycle was seized by the local police and taken to
the police station but was found the next morning at
the accident spot. The bike was seized and taken back
to Police station again where it was locked and
chained, but it was found at the same place next
morning again. The legend says that the bike without
fail made it out of the police station even when the fuel

16. Legend has it that Akbar once goaded Tansen into
singing Raga Deepak. Tansen reluctantly obliged. And
when he sang, all the lamps of the court lit up.
However, the Raga heated up his body and caused
severe burns. Tansen’s search for an antidote ended in
Vadnagar, Gujarat where two sisters, Tana and Riri
were known to be proficient in a certain Raga. That
Raga duly summoned the clouds causing to rain over
them, thereby relieving Tansen off his misery. But
that’s not it. The original version of Vande Mataram in
Bankim Chandra Chattopadhay’s Anandmath was also
set to music in this Raga. It was set to its present form
in Raga Desh by Rabindranath Tagore much later.

40. X received powers from seven gurus who trained and
blessed him with "yogic shakti which was natural power.".
He was the chosen warrior against evil by siddha gurus of a
cult named Suryavanshi. They are followers of the star Sun.
As part of training he trained with Kundalini Yoga to waken
the 7 chakras of body and gain 'super natural' powers from
them.
He also performed Yajna in which he entered the fire
himself and dissolved his body in fire. Then, the five
elements of life, i.e. fire, wind, water, earth, sky revived his
body giving him special powers from them. Thus after
leaving his mortal body he was given a super human form
to fight against the evil in the world as X.
After X was created he set out to destroy his archenemy
Tamraj Kilvish. But, as the Mahaguru explained, Kilvish
can only be defeated after evil is destroyed. X's mission is
to destroy the sin within people, not the sinned people.
