Mr Ashish Kumar

(Today, e-abhivyakti presents the mysterious journey of literary life of Mr Ashish Kumar.  He has well researched Hindu Philosophy, Science and quest of success beyond the material realms.  We will share about his books, synopsis/excerpts separately in book review section time to time.)

Ashish Kumar currently residing in Delhi, is basically from Haridwar, Uttarakhand. He earned his B.Tech. (IT) from SRMSCET, Bareilly, UP in the year 2004. Ashish has also completed C-DAC from Delhi, back in February 2006. His large span of interests finds its home in the Hindu Philosophies and science, and a quest of success beyond the material realms. He has already five books published to his credit (all are of totally different realm) which are ‘Love Incomplete’ (in English) – A failed love story, ‘Kya Hai Hindustan Mai’ (in Hindi) – comprises of two parts. Part one – ‘Kya Hai Hindustan Mein’ talks about author’s experiences that he has observed while on the road, during travel and in day to day activities of the life in India. Part two – ‘Pehle aur Ab’ talks about the differences that are significant in the life of 1980’s and now.  Third is ‘Detail Geography of Space’ (in English). In ‘Detail Geography of space’ Ashish has tried to present an unify theory of anything, from which we can solve all the unsolved problems of universe including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Quantum Theory etc. means he has tried to show how the universe works from macro to micro level and how from one theory we can prove other aspects of universe, because all the elements of universe works on very same pattern.  He has sent copy of his third book ‘Detail Geography of space’ to greatest scientist of our generation ‘Stephen Hawking’ for review. His first research article was published in the International Journal of Engineering and Scientific Research (IJESR), December 2015 edition, with title ‘Theory of Anything – Sankhya Philosophy’.

His fourth book was ‘The Ruiner’ (in English)

Describing about his journey authoring the book, ‘The Ruiner’, Ashish elaborated that he has had interest in science since his childhood. He had started reading Hindu scriptures 11 years back. He was looking forward to explain all unsolved problems of science and lost philosophy and essence of Hindu scriptures and Mythology which are breath of every Hindus.

Ashis further describes that according to me about my book ‘The Ruiner’, “I added my twelve years research, experience, exploration, quest, desires, and emotions of the most difficult topics of the universe. But most of all, this book is written by the secret guidance of that Infinite power, which has given me suggestions, points to add in this book, and clarity of concepts. Some are a wonder for scientists; others can be helpful for scientists. I have received signals and instructions from God in the state of meditation, dream, and dreamless sleep. Only I know how much pain I have taken to dedicate my whole life into this book. There is no number of counts available which can tell me how many nights I have spent without sleep—even sleep was trying to give me warning that either enjoy me or be ready to break apart. I faced continuous headaches, which I had been facing from last twelve years, is finally able to justify my efforts in the form of this book. For the last ten years, I was going through many of the ‘-ally’ situations—I was broken—mentally, physically, financially, economically, socially, emotionally, logically, etc. This book will take you on a journey of mysteries. You will find explanation of some facts which you have been hearing about from your childhood, and suddenly they will change.

I have read all the possible available scriptures on Hinduisms including 4 Vedas, 18 Puranas, more than 108 Upnisadas, all available versions of the Bhagvad-Gita, The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, Upanishads, Vedas, Vastu-Shastra, Astrology, Palmistry, Music, Ayurveda, Mythology, pPilosophy, Agamas and many more. I have read more than 3000 books in last twelve years, of religion, philosophy, science, etc. in physical format and e-books. I have researched immensely on the Internet to satisfy my quest for knowledge upon which this book is based.

About his book ‘The Ruiner’ he describes two boys and two girls of the current era are in the quest of mythological history of Hindu scriptures. Their aim and hobbies are different. Even their professions are different. They have come together to explore the fascinating story of the world. Yes, they have come together to walk on the footprints of Lord Rama and Lakshman in Sri Lanka. There they meet their guide, a person who explains and also makes them visit places of Ramayana like they all are part of that era. They also got the answers to some facts which no one knew before, such as: Ravana knew Clone Science and created 1 lakh clones of his sons and 1.25 lakhs clones of his grandsons. Where are they now? Ravana knew the science to use moon energy to prepare food. How? How were Gods able to transport themselves from one location to another? How Ravana created the link between this realm to heaven? What is the science behind Indrajaal, Mohini Astra, Lakshmana Rekha etc? Why did Goddess Sita demand golden deer? Why didn’t Lord Hanuman kill Bali? What is Sita’s Gita? How did Lanka get its name, Sri Lanka? What is the significance of Dakshinamukhi and Panchmukhi Hanuman? Why is moon revolving around the earth with overlapped of one paksha of 15 days? How could Kaalnemi fly faster than Lord Hanuman ? What is the science behind Weapons Shakti, Brahmastra? What is the Science behind Sanjeevani medicine? How can Pushpak Viman fly at a different speed? Is reason behind Mahabharata war was Lord Krishna? Can we stop aging by manipulating our DNA? How do Karmas work? Do curses and boons affect our karma? Prana, consciousness, and soul are the same or different? What is the science behind Amavasya? Who is the goddess of moon phase? What is the Science behind sacrifices? Is any other formula more powerful than E=mc². If yes, what is that? Is inter-caste marriage responsible for crime and corruption in our society? How do emotions impact our mind and body? What was written in Lord Hanuman’s Ramayana? How our karmas mapped over our DNA coding? What is the science behind the dreams, different bodies etc? Where in our body different planets of cosmos are located? Do we know the teaching of more than 40 Gitas? Can we reduce the size of computer storage by 1/8 by using Sanskrit grammar? …and much more…  But the most earth-shaking truth is when they know that actually there is an unsolved mystery of Ramayana era is still present. The four are face to face with an unsolved mystery which the world has never thought of.

In his fifth title ‘Sachchai Kuch Panno Me’ (in hindi) he has shared his experiences about common life of an Indian. These are author’s own memories, which make him to feel different flavors of emotions. These all are true incidence of 9 different emotions of human life means love, laughter, compassion, anger, courage, terror, disgust, surprise and peace. All stories are of three or four pages only so book contains 27 sort stories 3 of each emotion.

Apart from reading, writing, meditation, travelling and spiritual interest, Ashish loves to cook food.  Ashish knows more than 400 types of drink recipes.

On asking that who he believes was the most supportive and important for the successful publishing and releasing of these book, Ashish said that his father and his mother have inspired and supported throughout this complete journey.

In the Flickering of an Eye

A novel written by Ms. Neelam Saxena Chandra by LiFi Publications

Twenty five years worth of ‘what ifs’ and ‘if onlys’ have haunted and tortured Vinay. He cannot help but go back in time again and again to that one moment that changed his life forever. A chance encounter with a person from his past, and a journey through the majestic hills of Kalimpong lead him to some of his answers, in the form of an elusive woman, who bears a striking resemblance to the woman he loved and lost. Will he finally get his happily-ever-after? Or will his story, tarnished when he was nineteen by the gotra system, forever be punctuated with too many full stops?

Milind Uikey, Film Director Bollywood – This novel opens up the complexities of a novel writing through intricate inner world of writer himself.

Major Mohammed Ali Shah, Actor Bollywood – A very well narrated tale, engrossing from the beginning to the end

I. Puri, Art Writer, Curator & Documentarian – This novel is a beautifully imagined work, the story of a young couple in India today standing up to fight against caste prejudice.

Read on to find out more.

Excerpts from the book – In the Flickering of an Eye   

Both of them got down from the car. Vinay took his trolley bag and began moving in the direction of the station. Taking the bag in his hand, Anuj said, “If you don’t mind let me leave you till the train.”

Vinay objected vehemently at first. He did not like anyone helping him. However, Anuj’s words melted him. He said, “Would you have said no if I was your own son?”

Both of them walked silently. The train was stationed already at the platform. Anuj kept Vinay’s luggage below his berth, touched his feet and was about to leave when Vinay suddenly muttered, “Vinu did not die, Anuj. Neither did Manju.”

Anuj looked at him questioningly. However, Vinay was quiet as before. The engine whistled. Train began moving at slow speed. Anuj looked at Vinay again as if to ensure that what he had heard was indeed correct. However, Vinay had begun looking outside. Anuj quietly got down from the train.

नदी रुकती नहीं 

पहाड़ से गिरकर भी

घुटने नहीं टेकती

उछलती,उफनती हुई

आगे बढ़ती है

शिलाखण्डों को दोनों हाथों से

ढकेलती है

यह नदी है

नदी रुकती नहीं

कहीं ठहरकर

उसे झील नहीं बनना है

कोई पोखर नहीं होना है

काई-कुंभी नहीं ढोना है

उसे बस बहना है

बहना ही है

नदी की असली पहचान

अपनी पहचान उसे नहीं खोना है

यही तो नदी का नदी होना है.

आम हिन्दी पाठकों को हिंग्लिश परोसते कुछ अखबार

(आजकल हिन्दी के समाचार पत्रों में हिंगलिश के उपयोग पर डॉ विजय तिवारी ‘किसलय’ जी का तथ्यात्मक एवं विचारणीय आलेख)

भूमंडलीकरण या सार्वभौमिकता की बात कोई नई नहीं है। हमारे प्राचीन ग्रंथ ‘वसुधैव कुटुंबकम्” की बात लिख कर इसकी आवश्यकता पहले ही प्रतिपादित कर चुके हैं, लेकिन इसका आशय यह कदापि नहीं है कि आवश्यकता न होते हुए भी हम अपनी संस्कृति ,रीति-रिवाज, परंपराओं, धर्म एवं भाषा तक को दरकिनार कर दूसरों की गोद में बैठ जाएँ। बेहतर तो यह है कि हम स्वयं को ही इतना सक्षम बनाने का प्रयास करें कि हमें छोटी-छोटी बातों के लिए दूसरों का मुँह न ताकना पड़े। इसका दूसरा पहलू यह भी है कि हम केवल और केवल नकलची बनकर नकल न उतारते फिरें।  परिस्थितियों एवं परिवेश की आवश्यकतानुरूप स्वयं को ढालना अच्छी बात है, परंतु बिना सोचे-समझे अंधानुकरण को बेवकूफी भी कहा जाता है। एक छोटा सा उदाहरण है ‘नेक टाई’ का। इसे गले में बाँधने का सिर्फ और सिर्फ यही उद्देश्य है कि ठंडे देशों में गले और गले के आसपास ठंड से बचा जा सके परंतु हमारे यहाँ मई-जून की गर्मी में भी मोटे कोट-पेंट के साथ नेक टाई पहन कर लोग अपनी तथाकथित प्रतिष्ठा बताने से नहीं चूकते। आंग्ल भाषा की उपयोगिता अथवा आवश्यकता हो या न हो कुछ पढ़ेलिखे नासमझ अंग्रेजी झाड़े बिना नहीं रह पाते। हम केवल परस्पर वार्तालाप की बात करें तब क्या दो विभिन्न भाषी एक दूसरे की बात समझ पाएँगे? कदापि नहीं। बस, मैं यही कहना चाहता हूँ कि आजकल हमारे कुछ हिंदी अखबार वालों का मानना है कि वे देवनागरी में इंग्लिश लिखकर अपनी ज्यादा लोकप्रियता अथवा पहुँच बना लेंगे। ऐसा करना क्या, सोचना भी गलत होगा। एक हिंदी के आम पाठक को उसकी अपनी भाषा के अतिरिक्त चीनी, रूसी, जापानी या अंग्रेजी के शब्दों को देवनागरी में लिखकर पढ़ाओगे तो क्या वह आपके द्वारा लिखी बात पूर्णरूपेण समझ सकेगा? नहीं समझेगा न। आप सोचते हैं जो लोग अंग्रेजी समझते हैं उनके लिए आसानी है, तो जिसे अंग्रेजी आती है फिर आपके हिन्दी अखबार क्यों पढ़ेगा। दूसरी बात जिसे हिंदी कम आती है अथवा अहिंदी भाषी है, तब तो ऐसे लोग हिंदी के बजाय अपनी भाषा को ज्यादा पसंद करेंगे, अथवा अंग्रेजी को रोमन में न पढ़कर पूरा अंग्रेजी अखबार ही न खरीदेंगे।

मेरे मत से इन तथाकथित अखबार वालों की भाषा से यदि हिंग्लिश तबका जुड़ता है, जिसे ये हिंग्लिश पाठकों की अतिरिक्त वृद्धि मानते हैं तो उन्हें स्वीकारना पड़ेगा कि उससे कहीं ज्यादा इनके हिन्दी पाठकों में कमी हो रही है। उनके पास अन्य पसंदीदा  अखबारों के विकल्प भी होते हैं। आज के अंतरजालीय युग में जब हर सूचना हमारे पास आप से पहले पहुँच रही है, तब इन तथाकथित अखबारों की प्राथमिकताएँ बची कहाँ हैं। आज के तकनीकी युग एवं खोजी पत्रकारिता के चलते छोटे से छोटा अखबार भी पिछड़ा नहीं है। अब तो ग्रामीण अंचल तक अद्यतन रहते हैं। राष्ट्रभाषा हिन्दी की मर्यादा, सम्मान एवं संवर्धन हमारा कर्तव्य है। हिन्दी के पावन आँचल में किसी गैर भाषा के इस तरह थिगड़े लगाने का प्रयास राष्ट्रभाषा का अपमान और मेरे अनुसार राष्ट्रद्रोह जैसा है। विश्व की किसी भी भाषा, संस्कृति अथवा परंपराओं से घृणा अथवा अनादर हमारी संस्कृति में नहीं है। हमारे नीति शास्त्रों में ‘अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत्’ भी लिखा है। आज हिन्दी की विकृति पर तुले हुए लोग हठधर्मिता की पराकाष्ठा पार करते नजर आ रहे हैं। इनकी अपने देश, अपनी संस्कृति एवं अपनी राष्ट्रभाषा संबंधी प्रतिबद्धता भी संशय के कटघरे में खड़ी प्रतीत होने लगी है। आज आप किसी भी पाठक से पूछ लीजिए, वह आज लिखी जा रही विकृत भाषा एवं अव्यवहारिक संस्कृति से स्वयं को क्षुब्ध बतलायेगा। अब तो सुबह-सुबह अखबार पढ़ कर मन में कड़वाहट सी भर जाती है। अप्रिय भाषा एवं अवांछित समाचारों की बाढ़ सी दिखाई देती है, वहीं अखबारों की यह भी मनमानी चलती है कि हम अपने घर, अपने समूह या विज्ञापन का चाहे जितना बड़ा भाग प्रकाशित करें, मेरी मर्जी। पाठक के दर्द की किसी को चिंता नहीं रहती। सरकार भी इनकी नकेल नहीं कस पाती। सरकारी, बड़े व्यवसायियों एवं नेताओं के विज्ञापनों की बड़ी कमाई से अखबार बड़े उद्योगों में तब्दील हो गए हैं। हम चाहे जब अखबार के मुख्य अथवा नगर पृष्ठ तक में एक अदद पूरी खबर के लिए तरस जाते हैं, फिर नगर, देश-प्रदेश एवं समाज की बात तो बहुत दूर है। समाचार पत्रों से स्थानीय साहित्य भी जैसे लुप्त होता जा रहा है। आज दरकार है आदर्श भाषा की, आदर्श सोच की और आदर्श अखबारों की। साथ ही देश तथा समाज के प्रति अपने उत्तरदायित्व की। मैं मानता हूँ कि समाज सुधार का ठेका अखबारों ने नहीं ले रखा है,  किंतु यह भी सत्य है कि, ये तथाकथित अखबार क्या मानक गरिमा का ध्यान रख पाते हैं।

अंत में पुनः मेरा मानना है कि आज जब हर छोटे-बड़े शहरों में पहले जैसे एक-दो नहीं पचासों अखबार निकलते हैं, तब ऐसे में अपनी व्यावसायिक तथा निजी सोच पर नियंत्रण कर ये विशिष्ट अखबार हम असंगठित पाठकों को मनमाना परोसने से परहेज करें। राष्ट्रभाषा हिंदी को हिंग्लिश बनने से बचाने के प्रयास करना हम सभी का नैतिक कर्त्तव्य है, इसे अमल में लाने का विनम्र अनुरोध है।

धूप-छांव…….

जीवन में दिन हैं तो, फिर रातें भी है

है मनमोहक फूल तो फिर कांटे भी है।

कुछ खोया तो, बदले में कुछ पाना है

कहीं रूठना है तो, कहीं मनाना है,

हुए मौन तो, मन में कुछ बातें भी है

जीवन में दिन————–

मिलन जुदाई का, आपस में नाता है

सम्बन्धों का मूल्य, समझ तब आता है

टूटे रिश्ते तो, नवीन नाते भी हैं

जीवन में दिन————-

है विश्वास अगर तो, शंकाएं भी है

मन में है यदि अवध तो,लंकायें भी है

प्रेम समन्वय भी, अन्तरघातें भी हैं

जीवन में दिन…………….

है पूनम प्रकाश तो, फिर मावस भी है

शुष्क मरुस्थल कहीं,कहीं पावस भी है

तृषित कभी तो, तृप्त कभी पाते भी हैं

जीवन में दिन………………

है पतझड़ आंगन में तो, बसन्त भी है

जन्में हैं तो, इस जीवन का अंत भी है

रुदन अगर दुख में, सुख में गाते भी हैं

जीवन में दिन————–

टूट टूट जो, जुड़ते और संवरते हैं

पीड़ाओं में गीत, मधुरतम गढ़ते हैं

व्यथित हृदय, दर्दों को सहलाते भी हैं

जीवन में दिन है तो फिर रातें भी है

है मनमोहक फूल तो फिर कांटे भी हैं।

A selected poem from “Winter shall fade ….”

DREAMS 

I embrace my dreams

Just like the moon

Embraces the moonlight

Or the veil of night

Embraces the stars.

I fall in love with them

Little by little

And they come to me

Bit by bit

Kissing me

Hugging me

Skimming me,

As if drizzling upon me

And covering me with affection,

Percolating like fragrance

All over my being

And singing

Some happy numbers.

Keep dreaming

For

The relationship

Between dreams and self

Is the most fulfilling…
