Book review:

 "Garuda: The Dark Secrets of Lord Indra" by Lekha Varma embarks readers on a thrilling excursion through Indian folklore, winding around together an enthralling story that investigates the mind-boggling connection between divine beings, humans, and the immortal fight among great and fiendishness.

It presents an arresting excursion of the story of Garuda and how his birth became the cause of fear for Lord Indra. Garuda, who arose out of an egg, started his life's process by liberating his mom from bondage and overcoming his strong foes, the Nagas. I was intrigued to read about the depressing story of his mother and how Kadru showers terror in people by ruthlessly killing the fetuses. Kadru even imprisoned Garud's mother for many years.

Garuda's journey to liberate his mom from servitude and his experiences with considerable enemies, the Nagas, reverberate with widespread subjects of opportunity, mental fortitude, and the battle against persecution.

I was completely hooked on finding the answers to How did Garuda unwind the secret mysteries of Master Indra? How is Garuda associated with the hereafter? How did Garuda's activities make Master Yama embarrassed before the Trimurtis? furthermore, how did the Trimurtis bring haughty Garuda's unharnessed powers equipped for annihilating the whole universe to its genuine reason? 

The author's narrating is improved by her tender loving care, bringing the time of Garuda and the encompassing characters to existence with clear portrayals and a substantial feeling of old persona!

The author's narrating and creative mind made Garuda, a strong person, who had the power to destroy the whole Universe even at the time of his birth... The language is spellbinding, making a clear image of the legendary world and making it drawing in readers. 

The jargon utilized was rich and vivid, laying out striking pictures of antiquated times and legendary creatures. It's uncommon to track down a book that so consistently consolidates perplexing ideas with a holding storyline.

The writer's profound comprehension of Hindu folklore is obvious all through the book, as she flawlessly incorporates antiquated stories and legends into the primary storyline. Readers acquainted with Indian folklore will see the value in the unpretentious subtleties and references, while those new to the class will wind up drenched in a world loaded with wizardry and marvels.

Overall, this book is a convincing read that rises above the limits of existence. With its unpredictable plot, clear symbolism, and significant experiences in the human condition, this book is certain to have an enduring effect on any individual who considers leaving on this incredible experience.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
