  In “Sunya Mandapara Santha”, which is widely discussed among the intellectuals, writer Mr Mishra illustrates about  the monasteries of the traditional Aryan religion, the monks of the Vedic era … all are adorned with the saints of the empty mandapa. Even today, they are the light of the unseen soul of yoga. The number of isolated religions that have taken their toll on the behavior and pronunciation of traditional Aryan religions have re-joined that traditional stream, once they have flowed in a certain direction.Jainism and Buddhism are among them. Those Jainacharya and great Buddhist monks of the past are meditating in the meditative mandapa of the cosmos. Among the empty worships of the Bajrayani Buddhist monks, “Bajra” is the symbol of emptiness.The new religions that came to India on time are based on monotheism. They are also empty worshipers. Their places of worship are symbols of the empty mandapa. The writer has  limited the scope of his writing within the Indian religion.The confluence platform of all religions is the cosmos and its great saints were visited by the great mandapa of that cosmos and named the book “Sunya Mandapra Santha”.
