In Indic phraseology, tantra is the principle, a yantra is a device to explore this principle and a mantra is the code that unlocks both the tantra and its yantra. The Chrono sci-fi trilogy recreates this framework where the first novel Chronotantra defines the contours of a futuristic society, the second, Chronoyantra, describes a device used to explore the genesis of this society, while the third, Chronomantra finally reveals the key, the Kalki Protocol - that unlocks the mystery.
