The "Nine Unknown" Book Titles

Hello & Namaste!!
I express my warm wishes to whom so ever is reading this post and I want to share a few details or my personal opinions about our not so much known INDIAN treasure of knowledge documented in Nine books. I was reading a book titled " The Tenth Unknown" written by Jvalant Nalin Sampath, a debut author very fascinate about Indian culture, knowledge and Traditions. While reading the author's note of this book I was impressed by his statement  "...this book is my little way of giving back to a country which has given me everything, from my name to my identity..".Congratulating  Sri Jvalant on his first book and wish that he would contribute many more such books like this I want to present the names of the Nine unknown books which were believed to be given by Emperor Ashoka. I also read the book titled "Nine - Curse of the kalingan" by Shobha Nihlani which was really very interesting. In the book, The Tenth Unknown, the author has given the titles of all the nine books in Sanskrit along with meaning in english which are as given  as :

Book 1 : Nitivistaram evam Manastatvik Yudhavigraham meaning Propoaganda and Psycological Warfare

Book 2 : Yudhavigraham Sariravrittim  meaning Physiology in Warfare

Book 3 : Jivanuvijnanam meaning Microbiology

Book 4:  Samyogam meaning Communication

Book 5: Aloka meaning Light

Book 6 : Aparasayanasastram meaning Alchemy

Book 7 : Madhyakarsanam evam Abhiksepasastram  meaning Gravitation and Rocketry

Book 8: Sristitattvam meaning Cosmology

Book 9 : Samajavijnanam  meaning  Sociology.

The origin of these books are unknown but definitely each book in documents how the mankind should be. Our present generation, except a few are not aware of the greatness of our culture and the contributions which our great ancestors have done. If anyone comes across these titles or books please do read and pass on the good knowledge to future generations.      
Bye for now...
