THE HAUNTED KING: AJATASHATRU
About this ebook
Welcome to ancient Magadha, where the clash of war trumpets pierces the air, swords gleam in the sun, and horses thunder across the battlefield. Amidst this chaos, Ajatashatru rises as a warrior of unmatched brilliance. Yet driven by ruthless ambition, he seizes the throne by committing the darkest of deeds—killing his own father.
This dark deed haunts him throughout his reign, leading to a tragic downfall. As rebellion brews, his son rises against him, but what happens next?
Journey through the corridors of time, step onto the battlefields of Rajgriha and Magadha, and uncover the fate of a king caught in the web of his own making.

About the author
Dr. Arun Maji bridges art and science, life and philosophy, suffering and meaning. With a scalpel in one hand and a piano in the other, he strives not just to extend life—but to restore meaning and purpose to it.
Once upon a time, in a quiet mountain village, there lived an old monk. Whenever the villagers faced trouble — a fire in the bush, a broken roof, a sick child — they turned to him. One day, a cheeky young man asked, “Great monk, how do you solve every kind of problem? You’re just one man.” The monk smiled and replied, “You don’t always need to know every solution. You just need to understand humans deeply, and know how to solve a problem. If I don’t have the answer, I find the one who does — and borrow it.”
That’s how Dr. Arun Maji writes — across many subjects that may seem vast and varied at first glance. He doesn’t claim to know everything. But he knows how to observe, how to listen, and how to connect the dots between the emotional and the analytical, the spiritual and the scientific.
A frontline family physician and former military doctor, Dr. Maji has spent decades not just treating illness, but witnessing humanity — in its most vulnerable, raw, and noble forms. He is a lifelong student of science and an explorer of human suffering. A gentle rebel against unnecessary complexity, he believes that the greatest truths are often the simplest — and the most powerful.
His mission is to turn life’s chaos — emotional pain, medical confusion, spiritual doubt, philosophical fog — into something we can actually understand and heal. His tool of choice? The precision of mathematics, the honesty of biology, and the timeless clarity of human insight.
Whether writing about artificial intelligence, chronic disease, love, leadership, religion, trauma, or poetry — Dr. Maji follows the same process:
Understand the human. Frame the problem. Find the pattern. Build the model. Test the truth.
To him, writing across disciplines isn’t a stretch — it’s natural. Just as a single algorithm can build a bridge or diagnose a tumor, the same fundamental thinking can help us understand a wound, a belief, or even the idea of God.
Dr. Maji doesn’t believe in fluffy wisdom that evaporates when life gets hard. He believes in clarity that holds when everything else falls apart. His work is shaped by real people, real pain, and real questions that science and spirituality must answer together.
If you're someone who craves clarity in a noisy world — who’s tired of vague promises and hungry for real understanding — his books are for you.
Each one is a map.
Not made of theory.
But born from the frontline of healing, the battlefield of life, and the quiet courage of questioning everything.
I don’t write because I’m a doctor.
I write because I’m human — and the world I live in surrounds me with questions no stethoscope can answer.
Let them box people into titles. I prefer to break the walls — and connect the dots.
