Lotus Land - The Secrets of Padma Kshetra by Bhuban Patra

 Lotus Land - The Secrets of Padma Kshetra by Bhuban Patra | Book Review

Lotus Land

The first book in The Konark Secret Duology series is "Lotus Land" by Bhuban Patra. It belongs to the genre of mythological fiction. The main character, Bishnu Maharana, is an architect who oversees the construction of the Konark temple in 1200 B.C. Odhisa.

He stands out because he didn't just go with the flow. He did things that might have seemed impossible at first, but his determination made them possible, proving him right and making him a true inspiration to everyone. He is a hard worker who believes in himself.

The journey he took to become chief architect is depicted in the book. Apart from the usual techniques to build temples, they have introduced some new and secret ingredients, which have resulted in the temple being a magnificent one.

Untold insider information about the development of the Konark temple is revealed in the plot. It seems like an effort to combine a well-informed explanation of the design with every real-life and imagined detail of landmarks. 

The importance of yoga and meditation is so well described in the book. The content of the book is well researched and informative. The book helps to learn about temples, history and travelling.

Overall, the book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys reading about mythology or history because of its beautiful cover and clear writing.

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...
