Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
The book is a culmination of the author’s efforts to translate ancient works of literature such as the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, sthotrams, mantras and ashtakams in a different context. The standard translations of these works do not match his understanding of these verses and so he has based his work on word-to-word transliteration and converting these transliterations into semantically correct sentences. Further, he has changed word transliterations to have contextual meaning as opposed to using just a globally attributed meaning. For example, readers will be pleasantly surprised to read his translation and interpretation of the extremely powerful Gayatri Mantra.
The first thread of continuity that emerged for him when studying the various works of literature was related to Shiva. Following the thread of the various tantras, sthotrams and mantras that were attributed to Shiva, it emerged that Shiva was not really the God that he was taught to believe, but in fact something totally and completely different. The concept of Shiva is tied very deeply to the existence of the environment of reality around us. The book follows the thread in these works of literature to find the path to understanding this environment of reality, to arrive at the answer for the question “What is Shiva?” and to lay down the implications, if what is claimed in these works of literature is true.

Ancient Philosophy
The author is a software engineer whose primary hobby is to decode the Upanishads and Sanskrit mantras that the author has been taught to revere and respect since a young age. Along the way, the author realized that most of these translations are flawed and influenced by the beliefs and devotion of the person repeating them. The author believes that the original meanings of these works of literature are much deeper than the present superstitious interpretations that are widely spread. Through this book, the author hopes to share this science that even modern science has failed to grasp and understand.
