27 Souls : Spine Chilling Scary Stories
In “27 Souls: Spine-Chilling Scary Stories,” Vaidehi Taman delves into the realms of real-life ghost encounters, rebirth stories, and the paranormal. The majority of the stories within this book are drawn from actual experiences, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the unknown and confront their deepest fears through this gripping collection. Vaidehi explores the existence of souls, bodies, minds, and ghosts in the vast universe. Ghost stories, despite instilling fear, have a captivating allure, evident in the thriving horror film industry. Our childhood experiences and family tales contribute to shaping our perceptions of ghosts, while abandoned houses and eerie encounters fuel our belief in hauntings. Ghosts are often associated with unsatisfied souls, victims of tragic deaths, including murder, forced suicide, or unnatural occurrences.
Newsmakers Achievers Awards and My Struggle With Parallel Journalism
The book is all about our independent survival and innovative ventures like “Newsmakers Achievers Awards”. This award event has become a bench mark in the era of commercial award ceremonies. You will find many award event invites on social media asking for nominations, when you approach them, they come up with entry fees demand. Honorary doctorates and awards are big market in India. People love to flaunt their procured accomplishments on social media. For that they can go to any extent to buy these trophies and certificates. We made this event very clean, we have learned to felicitate but not facilitate. This book is an overall view on India’s fourth estate and its good, bad and ugly experiences.
Vedanti: Ek Aghori kahani
वेदांती-एक अघोरी प्रेम कहानी” एक ऐसी अनोखी प्रेम कहानी है, जिसमें अनुभूति और अहंकार दोनों ही हैं। यह एक ब्राह्मण परिवार में पैदा हुई लड़की और भैरव के रूप में प्रकट शिवभक्त युवा अघोरी के बीच अनूठी प्रेम कहानी है। यह एक अघोरी लड़के की कहानी है जो अपनी माँ का अंतिम संस्कार करते समय श्मशान घाट के आस-पास रहने वाले एक पुराने अघोरी में सांत्वना पाता है। दुख को भुलाने के लिए वह उसके साथ रहना पसंद करता है। वहां रहते-रहते एक दिन वह उस कबीले का हिस्सा बन जाता है। वे अघोर विधा से भगवन शिव को अपनाने का प्रयास करते हैं। अघोर विद्या तंत्र, मंत्र का अभ्यास और प्रयोग है। समय के साथ वो लड़का अघोर जीवन को पूरी तरह से अपना लेता है। और अपनी भावनाओं को और भय को वश में कर लेता है । उसके गुरु उसे शिव और मोक्ष से संबंधित धार्मिक और आध्यात्मिक विषयों के साथ सशक्त बनाते हैं। वह भाग्य विधाता भी बनता है और उपचारक भी। एक दिन एक लड़की हिमालय में उसकी गुफा का दौरा करती है और उनके बीच संवादों का आदान-प्रदान उसकी पीड़ा को सामने लाता है। शुरुआत में यह एक-तरफा प्रेम होता है, लेकिन धीरे-धीरे यह प्रेम कहानी कभी न टूटने वाले बंधन में बदल जाती है ।
Life Beyond Complications
This book is about the journey of an ordinary boy from Jharkhand to an extraordinary spiritual leader. At the age of 20 he was student leader in undivided Bihar. He was ABVP karyakarta and staunch flag bearer of Hindutva. In 1993 he got inspired by Shiv Sena supremo Bala Saheb Thackeray’s speech and started conducting public prayers and Maha Aarti across the city. That rattled the then government and they arrested him in a fake case of murder. Soon after the arrest his mother died of shock and from there his life took a surprising twist. In jail also he was fighting for the rights of prisoners, he brought many reforms and not only that he started conducting prayer meets and satsang. Four years of jail term got him close to God and from there he never returned to normal life.
Sikhism vs Sickism
This book is all about the plight of Sikhs all over the globe and especially in India. From the pre-independence era, thousands of Sikhs have laid their lives for the then undivided India. During India’s independence struggle, thousands of Sikh warriors fought against British rules. The partition of India in 1947, was the division of British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan. Post-independence, Pakistan and the Congress party of India both played Ping-Pong with the Sikhs by indirectly luring them in the name of ‘Khalistan’. The Khalistan movement was the Sikh secessionist movement. Promoted as a separatist campaign, its goal was to create a homeland for Sikhs by seceding Indian Punjab from India and establishing a sovereign, ethnoreligious Sikh state called Khālistān (‘Land of the Khalsa’), in the Punjab region.

Vani Vegesna Reviewed - Sickism vs Sikhism
This book is a non fictional factual book based on true events. So i thoroughly read and explored this book. Many people think that Sikh community people want Khalistan but it is not true,the thing they want is mutual acceptance and respect . This book reveals this fact. Book also talks about Punjab's 1st CM Pratap Singh Kairon and his life journey. Also one thing is cleared by this book whether sikhism is a part of hinduism religion or not.
Rimi Ghosh Reviewed - Vedanti
A totally different story, a unique love story between a Brahmin girl and a young Aghori, a person who devoted his whole life to Lord Shiva. The book starts with how Shivani is born and all the tragic incidents that happened in her early life. And then how she becomes successful in her life through hard work. And we meet The Aghori through Shivani, when she visits Kedarnath. And the moment she sees him, she remembers Nani's words - "one day she will also meet her Shivji." And she falls in love with him. As the story goes, we get to see the background and hardships of the young Aghori, who, after losing all his family, chooses this life. I absolutely enjoy this book. Though I have a little bit of a problem in the beginning as the book was written in third pov and I'm not a fan of it. But Shivani's story is intriguing enough to make me keep going.
