Book excerpt: In the wake of the Silent Killer V-21's devastating rampage, the world fell into despair and chaos. Governments crumbled, and societies collapsed. There were no heroes, no saviors, and no cure. The once-mighty human race was brought to its knees, humbled by an alien force they could not comprehend, nor combat. Amid the grim reality, pockets of survivors emerged, huddled together in desperation, trying to find solace and hope in each other's company. They clung to their memories of the past, reminiscing about the beauty and wonders of the Earth they once knew. Regretful of their arrogance and neglect, they yearned for another chance, but their pleas seemed unheard in the vast emptiness of the decimated world. In one such group of survivors, a glimmer of hope sparked. Dr. Sarah Williams, a brilliant scientist, had been tirelessly studying the alien virus's effects on the human body, trying to find a clue that might help them fight back. Sarah was a visionary, and she believed that even in the darkest of times, humanity's ingenuity could prevail. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, as Sarah worked tirelessly. She examined the bodies of the fallen, isolated what remained of the virus's genetic material, and scoured every piece of data she could access from the old world's databases. In her small makeshift laboratory, she toiled relentlessly, seeking a breakthrough that could turn the tide. Meanwhile, the rest of the survivors struggled to adapt to their grim new reality. They scavenged for food and water, constantly on the move to avoid the virus's contaminated areas. Fear and mistrust ran rampant, making it difficult for any group to find common ground and unite. But Sarah's dedication to finding a solution inspired some to hold on to the hope that they might endure.

Download or read book Longevity a Vedic Approach written by Raj Kumar and published by Sagar Publications. This book was released on with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The correct judgement of longevity is highly complex, but is equally important and sought after. “Knowing longeity is difficult even for gods” said sage Parashar. Any prediction made without considering it may make the prediction a laughing stock of both the astrologer and astrology. The time span between birth and death of a native is called his longevity. Longevity and death are not the same but are closely related. However it is not yet clear what death is. Our scriptures have at various places equated death with different types of Mrityu Tulya agonies which are different from physical death. Again the destiny of each one of us is interlinked with our close kith and kin and our relationship with them is pre-determined, predestined and irrevocable. Death is severing of final link of a native with them. Hence a native’s death must get corroborated / confirmed in the horoscopes of his close relations. An attempt is made in this book to address all such issues. The book is a study of about 225 natives who had lived and died in different countries at different time, at different age and of different causes, applying known tools of astrology. The book is an attempt to help clear some mist and enable to have a better judgement of longevity.
