Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin.
The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu.
In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama".

HARIHARESHWARI 18 : धर्मज्योति
Shri Krishna, to save his citizens, establishes the magnificent city of Dwarka. Yet, even as he leads them to safety, the seeds of Adharma are sown. The Yadavas reel from the audacious theft of the Syamantak Mani, and the subsequent false accusations against the Lord himself. Dharma itself is thrown in disarray. The marriage of Draupadi to five Pandavas, while intended to uphold righteousness, blurs the lines of morality, leaving even the wisest sages grappling with the complexities of right and wrong. Awakened from years of oblivion, Krishneshwari too, bound by a promise from a previous life to aid Karn, is thrust into a moral quandary. How does one help someone who seems determined to make the wrong choices ? The warrior she pledged to support once is now entangled in wickedness, leaving her torn between keeping her word and the greater good. The irony, ofcourse, is not lost on anyone. Amidst this turmoil, Krishneshwari rediscovers her own love, Satyashree. The world witnesses the divine union of Krishna with Rukmini, Jambavati and Satyabhama, and celebrates the rise of Yudhishthir as the righteous king of Indraprasth.Complete
The Great Ones
The Great Ones is not a list of achievements. It is a pilgrimage through the minds, souls, and scars of those who shaped humanity with nothing but their thoughts, questions, and courage. This is not about power. It's about people who dared to walk away, to think differently, to love radically, and to live with purpose. Journey with Siddhartha, Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus - not as myths or messiahs, but as people who bled, cried, doubted, and rose beyond themselves. Each chapter brings stories of suffering, sacrifice, and awakening, drawn from history and told in a voice that speaks to the soul. This is not a textbook. It's a mirror. Read it slowly. Let it change you.Complete

A gripping fusion of mythology, philosophy, and adventure, The Dharma of Aakash is a modern spiritual epic inspired by the Bhagavad Gita.

Tu hi Aashiqui
Siddarth Shukla-the name alone sends waves through the music industry. Dominating, powerful, impossibly handsome, and India's most successful rockstar, he rules every stage he sets foot on. But beyond the blinding spotlight lies a man cloaked in mystery. He's never given an interview, never acknowledged a single fan, and never let the world close enough to see the scars behind his stardom. His magnetic silence only fuels his cult-like fan following. But love? It's a word he buried long ago when betrayal left him hollow. Enter Shehnaaz Gill-a small-town girl with a heart as vast as the sky. Sweet, kind, funny, ethereally beautiful, and madly in love with Siddarth since the moment she first heard his voice. But her love isn't that of a typical fangirl-it's deeper. She feels him. In her soul. In her prayers. In her dreams. Her room is filled with his photos, her heart filled with his songs, and her mind with one quiet wish: to meet him, just once. But fate has bigger plans. Unbeknownst to them, their lives have always been connected. Their parents were childhood friends who, years ago, made a quiet pact: that one day, Siddarth and Shehnaaz would be married. Now, worried about Siddarth's growing isolation, his parents reach out to Shehnaaz's family to fulfill that old promise. Two worlds are about to collide-his fire and her ice. He has closed every door to love. She has opened her entire soul to him. Will a fangirl's quiet devotion melt the frozen heart of a man who no longer believes in love? Or will the shadows of his past destroy the one woman who was always meant to be his? "Tu Hi Aashiqui" is a story of fate, heartbreak, soul connections, and a love so profound it was written in silence before it was ever spoken aloud.Complete
