Banarasi

Synopsis:

Agastya, a mechanical engineer and passionate poet, finds his life forever changed after being struck by lightning during a storm. This event awakens in him the ability to perceive and influence a deeper reality. Fascinated by ancient Hindu mythology, Agastya embarks on a spiritual journey to become a "mortal protector," guided by a mysterious mentor named Rishi. 

As Agastya progresses through levels of enlightenment detailed in an ancient book, he gains powers that allow him to alter the destinies of others. However, he soon learns that even well-intentioned interventions can lead to unforeseen consequences. With Rishi's guidance, Agastya realizes that true enlightenment lies in self-mastery and aligning with the universe's greater purpose, rather than controlling others.

Through encounters with deities like Vishnu, Shiva, and Saraswati, Agastya discovers that being a mortal protector means maintaining balance and harmony in the world. By the end of his journey, Agastya ascends to a higher level of consciousness, using his powers sparingly and with deep reverence for the cosmic order. The story concludes with Agastya ready to fulfill his destiny as a guardian of humanity, standing at the threshold of a new beginning.

The Mortal Protector.

The weeks following Agastya's encounter with Rishi were a blur of contradictions. By day, Agastya remained the same mechanical engineer his colleagues had always known—meticulous, efficient, and quietly competent. Yet by night, he transformed into something entirely different, delving deeper into his spiritual practices and exploring the newfound powers that seemed to grow within him with each passing day. 


Maintaining this dual life was far from easy. Agastya found himself increasingly torn between the demands of his work, his family, and the mystical path he had chosen to walk. He still had bills to pay, projects to complete, and a family to support, but now there was also the urgent need to continue his spiritual training. The more he learned and meditated, the more he felt the divine energies calling him, urging him to embrace the destiny that lay ahead.
