Essence of the Fifth Veda by Gaurang Damani Book Review


Essence of the Fifth Veda by Gaurang Damani so is a non-fiction book so etihas includes ramayana and mahabharata and etihas and puran together are called the fifth veda 

So this particular book summarizes the knowledge from etihas and puran and as a result of that this book is called essence of the fifth veda this book narrates the ramayana and the mahabharata and it mentions over 265 relevant geographical locations that can be identified and verified even in current times 

This book also talks about the path to attain moksh in a very simple and an easy language both the ramayana and the mahabharata have been an integral part of my life for as long as i can remember 

So when i had started reading this book i was expecting to read something that i already knew and i thought that it would be like revisiting something that i already had so much knowledge about however i was pleasantly surprised by the fact that this book shared 

So many things that i did not know these were like additional nuggets of knowledge little things here and there that i had no idea about and getting to know about these things about the ramayana and the mahabharat was enlightening and also a very good experience for me as a reader 

I devoured this book because reading this book was such a fresh experience and i read it cover to cover without stopping reading this book was a both informative and a spiritual experience informative because of the geographical locations that can be verified and also because of additional things that i found out about both the ramayana and the mahabharata 

It was a spiritual experience as well because this book talks about the path to attain moksh and that part in the book was very very impactful and powerful and yet so easy to read 

So that is why on the whole reading this book was a very impactful experience i am going to say that if you are somebody who knows about the etihas and the puran you can still go for this book because there will be more things that you can learn from it concepts of dharm and bhakti have also been discussed in this book vedic knowledge is vast and endless 

No matter what you try to read it's always going to seem like that you have just crashed the surface however reading a book like this is going to open a path for you where you might want to discover even more about the knowledge that you can get from the vedic scriptures 

So these days we read a lot of retellings which are usually grouped under the genre of mythological fiction however this book is not like that this book is more factual and it's completely non-fiction 

So another thing is that it's a combination of uh the ramayana the mahabharat and the puran so that makes this book completely different and unique in its own way also the language is very very no-nonsense the tone and the vibe of the book is very serious yet effective 

At the same time even though it's serious it never gets boring in fact if anything this is an aw inspiring experience and that is why you have a great time with this book as I said before reading this book is not at all hard it's actually something that you are inclined to finish very very quickly because you don't feel like putting it down what makes this book 

Special is that it explains so many teachings and so many concepts and incidents as well and by the time you finish this book there is absolutely no confusion and so much information that you gain from it right in the beginning of this book 

The author has talked about how he got the opportunity to read and understand the Vedic scriptures and how he knows that there are so many people who would like to do the same but because of time constraints and other reasons they are unable to do 

So the purpose behind writing this book is to help people uncover and understand the knowledge provided by Vedic scriptures in an easy yet effective manner and after having read this book completely I can say confidently that this book lives up to that claim also the author intends on writing more books in this area 

So that he can acquaint people with Vedic knowledge in an easy and impactful manner in the future as i had a great time reading Essence of the Fifth Veda by Gaurang Damani I am definitely going to recommend this book.

Icebreaker By Hannah Grace Book Review

Icebreaker By Hannah Grace Book Review  Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, is a book that's been everywhere lately. I will do a spoiler-free review, so if there's ever a spoiler coming up, there will be a spoiler alert.  Basically, I'll talk a little bit about what the book is about, share my general thoughts, discuss what I liked and didn't like, and then give a final rating. If that sounds like something you want to watch, feel free to do so. I really appreciate it, and fingers crossed that this is not too chaotic. So, here's the book. You've probably seen this book somewhere; it was really fun to annotate. It looks really pretty, although you might not be able to see it well. I won't hold the book like this the whole time, so I'll put a picture up of "Icebreaker" by Hannah Grace. The book is about a female figure skater named Anastasia, practising at University with the goal of going to the Olympics. Nathan, a hockey player on the university team,

The Courage To Be Disliked Book Summary

    The Courage To Be Disliked Book Summary Hello good people of the internet, welcome to a very special episode of the Unlearning Playground podcast.

If a family member behaves a certain way, we assume that many people are like that. We tend to judge the ways of the world based on our past experiences. Especially when we have experienced a breakup or heartbreak we find it difficult to trust people. This book is all about how trusting people can change our lives. Saranya Umakanthan has written a book titled One Day, Life Will Change. We have already reviewed one of her books for our Book Show. This book is a National Best Seller. Our heroine is struck by a turbulent marriage. But breaking up the marriage is a big deal. Just like how we don't know what we want. we have never learnt to say No to things that we don't want right from our childhood. Just like how the mother feeds the kid more than he needs even if he says no. We tend to stay in a toxic rela
