Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh Mar 24, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - The saga of Emperor Vikramaditya has been immortalized in history as a tale of courage, wisdom, and unyielding determination. Now, this legendary ruler’s true story is being unveiled through an authoritative new book, ‘Shakari – Vikramaditya’, co-authored by renowned philosopher, musician, and writer Devrishi, along with senior IAS officer P. Narhari. Published by Mahagatha Publishing House, this book aims to restore Vikramaditya’s rightful place in Indian history by separating historical facts from myths.
Emperor Vikramaditya of Ujjain remains one of India’s most revered historical figures. His rule was marked by military genius, administrative excellence, and an unparalleled patronage of art and culture. He is known to have gathered some of India’s greatest scholars, including Kalidasa, Varahamihira, and Dhanvantari, at his court, elevating Indian literature, astronomy, and medicine to new heights. Despite his enduring impact, modern history has often blurred his identity, frequently confusing him with Chandragupta II, another ruler who later assumed the title of Vikramaditya. This book seeks to correct such misinterpretations with rigorous historical research and evidence-based narratives.
‘Shakari – Vikramaditya’ is the first volume of the Vikramaditya Series, chronicling the transformation of a young prince into the indomitable warrior known as Shakari—Destroyer of the Shakas. Through a gripping narrative, it showcases his strategic brilliance, unwavering commitment to dharma, and the monumental battles that earned him his legendary status.
The upcoming second volume, ‘Samrat Vikramaditya’, will further explore his efforts to unify Indian rulers, his final triumph over the Shakas, and his role in reviving India’s cultural and political strength.
To mark the book’s release, a prestigious national launch event is being planned, where renowned historians, literary figures, and dignitaries will gather to celebrate the legacy of one of India’s greatest yet lesser-known emperors.
Author Devrishi describes the book as a testament to India’s glorious heritage, stating, “Emperor Vikramaditya is not just a historical figure—he is an eternal symbol of Indian civilization’s strength, justice, and sovereignty. His legacy deserves to be known, honored, and celebrated by every Indian.”
‘Shakari – Vikramaditya’ will soon be available in leading bookstores and online platforms, offering readers an opportunity to delve into one of the most significant yet overlooked chapters of Indian history. This is more than just a book—it is a movement to reclaim and preserve Bharat’s true past.
