Dear Legatees,
My name is Alex Dovakin and I’m the writer of the Dhyanica series.
Dhyanica is a fantasy project about an Earth created at the whim of six elemental gods more than 4.5 billion years ago. It was designed as a playground where they could temporarily renounce their divinity and play the Game of Forgetting. These gods were old, among the first created by their Father, the One God. Knowledge was the purpose of their existence. The Universe was their University, and when there was nothing else to learn, they created other universes and other worlds to support their hunger for knowledge and experience.
One day, the gods realized there would always exist two experiences they could never touch in their current state of being: mortality and lack of knowledge. Determined to change this, they requested permission from their Father to create one world where they could play the Game of Forgetting. Permission was granted , but with one grim condition: the elemental gods must sacrifice their hearts for the creation of this new world - and as no being of flesh or light could live without a heart, one would have to sacrifice itself and give its heart to the others until the Game was over.
Chaos, the eldest of the six, made a step forward: “There is no greater gift than sharing my heart with my brothers,” Chaos said. “Every experience they will live, I will live, until the Game will be over, and we will take back what was sacrificed and rejoice when we will face each other once more as the Dhyani, the Elemental Gods.” And so it was decided.
They chose the universe of the Bima Sakti to create their little planet. Other gods had played in this universe before, and eight planets already revolved around a burning Sun.
It was Fire who decided the place of the new planet - not too close to the Sun, but not too far away either - and speaking the Word of Creation given as a gift from the One God, Fire gave its heart to create the center of the new world. Water followed next and embraced the fiery center with its sacrifice, and Air’s heart separated the water from the skies. Next came Earth, the youngest of the elemental gods, and mountains covered in vegetation rose from the waters to pierce the blue skies with their peeks. Aether created bodies of flesh which would be used by the Dhyani to reincarnate and play the Game over and over again. And in the end, Chaos sacrificed itself so that its brothers could live with a heart filled with chaotic love.
Their last act of creation was to make six Orgons, objects of massive power, and six secret Grimoires, tomes containing their divine memories, which they hid in the celestial planes of the new planet. They ordered the objects to appear to them in their last reincarnation - the life that ended the Game - to remind them of their divinity.
Then, the Game began and the Dhyani walked the Earth, mortal and ignorant of their divinity.

The INDIEGOGO PROJECT
The reason why I decided to open the book project on Indiegogo was to ask for your help to raise 5000$ to pay for a book editor and for the materials needed to create the Dhyani Orgons and Dhyani plushies and hand puppets.
Therefore as perks for this project, besides the book I’m offering:
- A fantasy catalog for 2015 filled with images from the book created in collaboration with Andrei Gaspar. Meet Doriana, the Dhyani of Fire; Merodach, the Dhyani of Water; and soon we will have also Amaterasu, the Dhyani of Air already created by Andrei;
DORIANA OF SARMISEGETUSA, DHYANI OF FIRE
MERODACH OF ATLANTIS, DHYANI OF WATER
6 Orgons for each Dhyani
- 6 X 144 hand puppets;
- 6 X 144 plushies.
- It will be written by hand and will contain information that will never appear in the book series
- it will not be published in the next 10 years (when it will be published it will contain only part of the information from the real Grimoire);
- the book cover will have encrusted a Lemurian Crystal. There will only be six such covers, one for each real Grimoire.
Stay tuned and get all the updates from our facebook page! The project will be opened on Indiegogo.com on 30th of October.
