Roll Of The Dice (Ajaya-Book1)
The Mahabharata endures as the great epic of India. But while Jaya is the story of the Pandavas, told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra; Ajaya is the narrative of the 'unconquerable' Kauravas, who were decimated to the last man. At the heart of India's most powerful empire, a revolution is brewing. Bhishma, the noble patriarch of Hastinapura, is struggling to maintain the unity of his empire. On the throne sits Dhritarashtra, the blind King and his foreign born Queen Gandhari. In the shadow of the throne stands Kunti, the Dowager-Queen, burning with ambition to see her firstborn become the ruler, acknowledged by all. And in the wings: Parashurama, the enigmatic Guru of the powerful Southern Confederate, bides his time to take over and impose his will from mountains to ocean. Ekalavya, a young Nishada, yearns to break free of caste restrictions and become a warrior. Karna, son of a humble charioteer, travels to the South to study under the foremost Guru of the day and become the greatest archer in the land. Balarama, the charismatic leader of the Yadavas, dreams of building the perfect city by the sea and seeing his people prosperous and proud once more. Takshaka, guerilla leader of the Nagas, foments a revolution by the downtrodden as he lies in wait in the jungles of India, where survival is the only dharma. Jara, the beggar and his blind dog Dharma, walk the dusty streets of India, witness to people and events far greater than they, as the Pandavas and the Kauravas confront their searing destinies. Amidst the chaos, Prince Suyodhana, heir of Hastinapura, stands tall, determined to claim his birthright and act according to his conscience. He is the maker of his own destiny or so he believes. While in the corridors of the Hastinapura palace, a foreign Prince plots to destroy India. And the dice falls.

Life After Death: The Book of Answers
In Life After Death: The Book Of Answers, Dr. Deepak Chopra, the mind-body specialist, examines an age-old question from a modern perspective. What happens after death? Is there something beyond, or is death the end of existence? This question has been examined by almost all races in all regions of the world. It is a fundamental question that each religion tries to answer in its own way. In Hindu philosophy, life and death are eternal cycles. In the Upanishads, there is the tale of a young boy, Nachiketas, who visits the Lord of Death, Yama, and in search answers to his questions about life and death. In this book, Life After Death: The Book of Answers, Deepak Chopra combines the wisdom of the Vedas with the science of particle physics to provide answers to this basic question. He explains the Vedic theory that death is but a stopover in the eternal journey of the soul, as it searches for self-realization. The book is filled with exercises that help the reader understand these concepts. Though a lot of the ideas are drawn from eastern philosophy, this book is not intended for any particular religious section. It provides food for thought and allows the reader to interpret the ideas according to whatever path they follow. Dr. Deepak Chopra is a medical doctor who specialized in endocrinology. He has written several books on mind and body health, and spirituality - Why Is God Laughing, The Way of the Wizard, and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams. He has extensive teaching experience at Tufts University and Boston University Medical School. The author has also worked as the Chief of Staff at Boston Regional Medical Center. Chopra was introduced to the Ayurvedic system of healing by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. To overcome the limitations of modern medicine, Dr. Chopra conceived a new method called “Quantum Healing”. It combines Western and Eastern medical science and aims to promote a holistic approach to health.
