Prayer Machine

Another concept based on Roger Zelazny's book, Lord of Light. This device, build by master artificer and "God of Death, Yama, is used to "reincarnate" the hero of the novel, Mahasamatman (Sam for short), who has been relegated to Nirvana as a form of exile after committing acts of terrorism against the Pantheon of "Hindu Gods". Such an extreme punishment (or reward, depending on how you look at it), is due to the fact that the characters have the ability to reincarnate themselves into new bodies, and Sam's relegation to Nirvana made it impossible for him to return into a new form... until this machine was built.
