This post is for all Authors and Aspiring Authors or Writers, and perhaps for all Citizen of India

I always had the firm believe that if you want to do good for Human beings and Society, you can always do it provided you have a Strong will . I am a bit against current ‘LIBERALS’ who just work on Facebook but not on Real world .
Back in 2013 , I had embarked on a journey to know my religion and the scientific zeal behind it ( with no Offence to other religions ) . It was a totally new world , and FASCINATING to say the least !
Hindu mythology opened unknown areas for me, things I never had known , and interestingly supported by strong scientific reasoning.

At the same time, I was freshly into a bitter WAR with my publisher of ÁUTUMN IN MY HEART ‘,my first novel and very close to my heart , as I felt very much cheated on the Book Sales number and the Royalty earned .

My extensive study on mythology started brewing a fresh mythological Suspense inside my brain, and so I started penning it down. This time I started to take a different way, though lot of RENOWNED PUBLISHERS approached me .

I published RUDRA TRILOGY in AMAZON .

The link is here : https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00FBSOPXY

Some years has passed by, and below my friends shows the Royalty earned till March, 2017 .
The total ROYALTY AMOUNT when converted to INR is equivalent to INR 1 lakh 66 thousand ( approx.) 1,66,000/- and though it’s not a huge amount but it’s a GOOD ROYALTY AMOUNT, which a LOT OF WRITERS in my FRIENDLIST will Silently vouch on .

I have DONATED the ENTIRE AMOUNT to a GOOD CAUSE .

This is because I don’t write for money or other way round I don’t live on my writing ( I have a different Profession ) but Writing is my true Passion.
This is a message for those who are aspiring writers and for those who want to do good for Society.

Note : As a good will gesture & also to spread the knowledge on Hindu Mythology I have keep my Novel FREE for next 3 days , you can read at https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00FBSOPXY ( this is for India , for others from different countries you can get the respective links in Amazon. )

ATTENTION TO ALL BLOGGERS & MEDIA PERSONS :

The story can motivate many new authors who are still struggling to publish their work.Will request you to take it up in your blogs, online papers, newspapers etc.

We all know how difficult it is to get a publisher in India, and that too a good Publisher who doesn't manipulate the authors and doesn't charge a hefty amount to get the book published.

My earlier novel,Autumn in my Heart was published by Times group ( times of India ) and I know how difficult it is for authors to get a good publisher in India.

I first self-published Rudra trilogy book 1-THE SECRET OF IMMORTAL CODE on Amazon as an e-book and it sold more than 5000 copies in 6 months....then big publishers themselves contacted me on facebook, Harper collins, Rupa etc....I finally signed with Leadstart publishing who had taken up the rights of RUDRA TRILOGY with an Advance royalty .



So, I think you can publish this story in your blog in an attractive way....this will help and encourage a lot of authors ,new and old ones.

RUDRA TRILOGY CONTEST 3

RUDRA TRILOGY CONTEST 3 - ANSWER

HERE IS THE ANSWER TO RUDRA TRILOGY CONTEST 3

‘Ah...Ahi....Ahi Upala...’ strange, he said in his mind. Bhadraka couldn’t make a single meaning out of it. The crumbled words assembled together read a strange message when translated –

Ahi Upala holds the key.

Bhadraka had never heard any such thing in his entire life. He tried to remember. But nothing reflected in his mind. No, it was something strange. Very strange. A blue mountain, Lord Shiva looking down, serpents entwined and lastly the word- Ahi Upala holds the key.

(EXCERPT FROM BOOK1- THE SECRET OF IMMORTAL CODE)


QUESTION : What is ' AHI-UPALA'

CLUE : This is a real thing/object which can be seen even now in India. THINK NAGAS


ANSWER : 

AHI in sanskrit symbolises serpent and UPALA means precious stone in sanksrit. AHI-UPALA stands for serpent stone . This are called NAGALKALS. Nagalkals are stone tablets with an entwined serpent pair,the below picture belongs to one such found in Mysore

THE AWAKENING OF RUDRA

BOOK 3 OF RUDRA Trilogy

Who were the Mayans? How did they predict a start of a new cycle?

Did Rig Veda talked about Mayans?

What is the secret of the lord Shiva's trident petroglyph at Nazca desert of Peru?

Was the great Imhotep of Egypt an Indian Sage?

What did the templar knights found excavating the underground vaults of  King Solomon's temple ?

What if  'AMAR KATHA' Lord Shiva's doctrine of Immortality was in written form ? Depicted by some secret symbols ? then...

    Lord Shiva, the Destroyer, the Creator, the Protector.

  God of all Gods. King of the Ganas. He had prophesied the life of every living being millions and millions of years before. He had fought many a war to drive away the force of greed, hatred and corruption.

Will HE REAPPEAR TO SAVE THE WORLD?

Its 2020 now…

The CERN Large Hadron Collider is about to unravel a dark secret on the mystery of matter.

An ancient Mayan formula on electronic tablets echoes a warning of events in future.

Only the ONE can save the world. 

Lord Shiva….

As per Mayan Calendar, the world is running in the Age of Aquarius and on Dec. 21, 2012, the day of the annual winter solstice, the Sun will rise roughly over the center of the Milky Way galaxy which may lead to the end of the world. They say it will start on Dec. 12, 2012 and everything will be destroyed by Dec. 21, 2012 in period of 9 days.

For now we know 2012 it’s a hoax!!!

The Mayans recorded time in a series of cycles, including 400-year chunks called baktuns. It's these baktuns that have led to rumors of an end-of-the-world catastrophe on Dec. 21, 2012 — on that date, a cycle of 13 baktuns will be complete. But the idea that this means the end of the world is a misconception. In fact, Maya experts have known for a long time that the calendar doesn't end after the 13th baktun. It simply begins a new cycle. And the calendar encompasses much larger units than the baktun.

Who were the Mayans? How did they predict a start of a new cycle?

Did Rig Veda talked about Mayans?

What is the secret of the lord Shiva's trident petroglyph at Nazca desert of Peru

As per Vedic literature, The end of the world is prophesied to happen at the end of the Kali Yuga.

So, when will the world end?

The One who carries the blue blood in his veins has the secret to awaken Rudra.

 The prince who had forgotten it all!  The last Naga Prince on earth!

In a compelling mythological thriller, blended by history, spiced by legend and transformed by myth, the painting of Blue Mountains and Rudra’s tears are the only key to awaken the greatest Lord on earth…

WILL THE WORLD REALLY END?
