Dr. P.V. Rao
He spent 15 years saving lives in the middle of a war.
Most people know Dr. P.V. Rao as an author.
Long before he wrote a single page, he was a Senior Consultant Surgeon in Kurdistan, Iran, serving through revolution, war, and peace.
While shells fell outside the hospital, he stood inside doing the only thing that mattered - saving lives.
Day after day, he witnessed fear, hope, loss, courage, and the extraordinary resilience of ordinary people.
Those years didn't just shape a surgeon.
They changed the way he understood the human mind.
Why These Books Exist
Some experiences become memories. Others become questions that stay for life.
After returning to India, Dr. Rao didn't write to become an author.
✍️ He wrote because some questions refused to leave him.
Inspired by the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, those questions slowly became 17 books, not books that tell you what to believe, but books that invite you to observe, question, and discover for yourself.
They are reflections born from a lifetime of surgery, silence, observation, and lived experience.
What Readers Say
Don't just take our word for it
This book brings you face to face with decisions we often discuss theoretically but rarely experience. The simplicity with which life-and-death moments are described makes it deeply impactful. It quietly redefines what responsibility means.
Dr. Neha Agarwal
Paediatrician
What I appreciated in Living Under Fire is how it shifts focus from external chaos to internal steadiness. It doesn’t dramatize situations, yet you feel their intensity. It’s a meaningful reflection on how doctors think and act under pressure.
Arjun Reddy
Structural Engineer
Thought gave me a perspective I hadn’t considered before, how much of our actions are driven by conditioned thinking. As a student, it was helpful to step back and look at things more clearly.
Sneha Verma
Medical Student, India
Life’s Companion feels like a steady guide rather than a book you finish once. The reflections are practical and grounded, and they stay relevant across different situations in business, life, and decision-making.
Ravi Teja
Designer
The Ground That Breathes Through All is not a typical read it slows you down. It made me reflect on awareness and how we respond to situations in life and work. Simple language, but very deep in its impact.
Rajesh Kumar
Entrepreneur
Living Under Fire goes beyond the idea of practicing medicine in difficult conditions it explores the mental clarity required to act without hesitation. What stood out to me was the absence of noise in decision-making. It’s a perspective that resonates deeply even in modern clinical practice.
Dr. Meera Nair
Medicine Consultant
Seeing False As False challenges how we normally think and react. It’s simple in presentation but makes you question deeper patterns in your own thinking. A very introspective read.
Vijay Kedia
Entrepreneur & Investor
In business, we talk about high-pressure decisions, but this is on a completely different level. The clarity and calmness described in the book are remarkable. It’s a lesson in leadership and responsibility.
Sunitha Reddy
Industrialist
What I liked about Life’s Companion is how accessible it is despite its depth. The influence of Jiddu Krishnamurti is clear, but it’s presented in a way that’s easy to relate to. It’s something I find myself revisiting.
