6) YASH MHANAJE KAY? PART 1 (2017)

Concepts of success have changed a lot in the modern era. Only one’s own personal progress, that too mainly on a material level is considered success everywhere. Be it marks in studies or medals in sports or the next big job. The financial prosperity and fame that comes from big business is seen as a success in society. But this is not real success but a mirage. This success does not develop our personality. Neither have we got real satisfaction nor mental stability from such materialistic success.If one cannot understand difference between price and value they will remain unstable at the peak of success. An example of this is the increasing instability, imbalance, increasing mental illness and suicide in this society.

In this book interviews of prominent personalities like Shri. Meera Borwankar (IPS), Shri. Ravindra Prabhudesai, Shri. Avinash Dharmadhikari, Dr. Premanand Ramani (Neurosurgeon), Mrs.Anjali Bhagwat, Dr. Prakash Amte (Social Worker), Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar (Scientist), Dr. Narendra Jadhav, Adv. Ujwal Nikam, Shri. Bharat Dabholkar, Shri. Nitin Gadkari are published.

When the world-famous scientist Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar says,’ My success is not my 35 doctorate degrees, but the spirit of working wholeheartedly for the grassroots people of my country. Similar views have been expressed by other dignitaries. This will introduce the youth to sustainable success in life.

10) RAM-AYAAN (2020)

 Ramayana is an epic story in Indian culture. Saint Maharishi Valmiki has introduced the eternal values of life, duty, sacrifice, truth, and bravery from the story of Shri Ram. What should be taken from all these stories is Shri Rama’s nature and his view of life. But sometimes, without paying attention to it, we discuss Ramayana being true or false, Shri Ram was right or wrong, etc. We should focus on the teachings of Ramayana; we should focus on the reason why our metaphysics recognizes Ramayana as epic. We should focus on what should we learn from Ramayana. How to use this to enrich your life is presented through the novel ‘Ram-Ayaan’.
