The Sanatan Dharam: True Source of all Technology
Written at seventeen, the second book turns from science to the things people build with it: flight, metallurgy, medicine, machines.
From what we know to what we make
If the first book was about knowledge, this one is about engineering. Vivaan moves from the abstract to the applied: descriptions of flight and aerial vehicles, of metals and alloys, of surgical instruments and procedures, of weapons and the mechanisms behind them.
The method is unchanged: the passage first, cited; the modern counterpart second. What changes is the tone. Having been challenged publicly on the first book, Vivaan spends more time here on the objections, and more time showing his working.
The launch, on 15 November 2024 at Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal in Delhi, was the moment the project stopped being a curiosity. The book was unveiled by RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat, ISRO Chairman S. Somanath and Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi. It was later re-launched by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis alongside the Marathi edition, and presented at the UN Security Council in New York.
