I'm One—ONE WHO CAME BEFORE—also known as Grandpa.
Whether you are part of our Arora family by birth, adoption, or marriage, I’m so glad you’re here.
If this is your first visit, begin with the Home page and my two-minute video message for you,
then explore the site at your own pace.
And because this is a family space,
please don’t share it on social media or with anyone outside our extended family.
Offered with Love, for Our Family—Young and Old.
I wrote these two books—Ash in Our Bones and Grandpa, Airavata, and Me—to be shared, not sold.
My wish is simply that they reach many hands, young and old.
Heritage and Digital editions of these books are offered at no cost,
as small gifts of love and memory.
And handsome books they are.
Produced in the United States to standards used by libraries and museums
Linen-wrapped hard cover for durability across generations
Matching full-color dust jacket
Richly illustrated
Premium, acid- and lead-free archival-quality paper for long life
Digital Editions: They will be available for download as soon as the Live Telling is completed.
They carry the same content as the Heritage Editions, but you can read them on smartphones, tablets, and computers.

the 2026 Heritage Editions now.
If you are part of our extended Narula family and happen to visit my corner of the United States—
or if someone you know does—
I'd be honored to place Heritage Edition copies of my two books in your hands (one book per family).
If you live within the continental Unites States, I'd also be glad to mail the books to you.
You may request these books whenever you wish.
I will share them at the close of the Live Telling, after you have taken part in that experience.
To request your free print copies, simply message or email me at one@aroras.xyz.
For the Heritage Editions, please allow up to four weeks for a copy to be printed especially for you.
For the Digital Editions, you'll receive a secure link so you can download them immediately.
If you'd like an additional printed copy for someone else, let me know.
I'm happy to share a direct link to the printer,
so you can order one at cost, without any markup.
I receive no portion of the price paid.
