Adesh, who wrote many books, including Shankuntala, Maharani Damyanti, Nirvan, and Devi Savitri, released a new 1,500-page book in January 2020 titled Raghuvansh Shiromani Shri Raam – a super-epic 1,800 song-verses book which, he said, “...is not for one sect or religion, but is meant for the upliftment of all human beings in the world.”
