About the book →
Vivaan Karulkar holding a copy of his first book, The Sanatan Dharam: True Source of all Science

A patent at fifteen. A book at sixteen.

Vivaan Prashant Karulkar grew up in Mumbai with two obsessions: the night sky and the Sanskrit texts on his family's shelves. At fifteen he filed an in-principle patent relating to Near-Earth Objects, placing him among the youngest patent holders in the world.

A year later he published his first book. Two more followed before he turned nineteen.

“Everything the West calls a discovery, I believe was written down first. We simply stopped reading our own books.”
