This book is a comprehensive commentary on an octet sung by Sage Vishvaanara in praise of Lord Shiva.

Karthick has been giving lectures talking about the glories & greatness of Lord Shiva from the Vedas, Upanishads, Agamas, Smritis, Puranas & Ithihaasas. Some of the lectures to mention are: Lord Shiva - The Essence of Bhagavad Gita, Sage Upamanyu - The Exalted Devotee of Lord Shiva, Lord Shiva - Hero of the Mahabharata War, Shiva Sahasranaama, Nandi - The Great Devotee of Lord Shiva, Maha Shiva Ratri - Shiva Maha Purana, Atharvashiras Upanishad, Chidambara Nataraja, Lord Shiva - The Essence of the Vedas & Upanishads, etc.
This is a book that enlightens one about how only Lord Shiva is the Object of Desire according to the Vedas. I have been through many books and scripture- based texts but I found that this book is the most unique among them as it covers the Shruti (Vedas and Upanishads) and Smriti (Puranas and Ithihaasaas). This book contains references from all the authentic scriptures and commentaries. It goes on to educate us and tells us that Lord Shiva is the supreme personality and how only he is the object of desire and should be meditated upon.
The author has put a great effort and provided us with many authentic references and meanings from the scriptures. The author also informs us about the benefits of engaging in Shiva bhakti and how one can get all his desires fulfilled and tasks accomplished by the grace of Lord Shiva.
My humble prostrations to the lotus feet of Parama Shiva which is caressed by Para Shakti and which even devatas like Brahma, Hari & Indra are still searching for.
My humble salutations to the devotees of Lord Shiva who are eternally present in the highest spiritual world Maha Kailasha engaging in service to Saamba Shiva.
With the grace of the Supreme Lord Parama Shiva, the Supreme Mother Para Shakti & the devotees of Lord Shiva, I am writing my first book LORD SHIVA - THE ONLY OBJECT OF DESIRE ACCORDING TO THE VEDAS.
This book contains a detailed commentary on Abhilaasha Ashtakam, an octet sung by Sage Vishvaanara praising Lord Shiva. The word "abhilASha" in Sanskrit means desire (or) wish.
Every verse of Abhilaasha Asthakam is connected with various aphorisms from the Upanishads. By reading this commentary, one would be able to understand that Lord Shiva is the ultimate essence of all the scriptures (Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Upa-Puranas, Smritis, Agamas, Ithihaasaas, etc.) and devotional service to him leads one to liberation.
