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.

Agastya's transformation was well underway. As the weeks turned into months, the power he had first felt during the lightning strike continued to grow within him. Each day, he discovered something new about the world, something hidden beneath the surface that deepened his understanding of reality. But with each revelation came the realization that his journey had only just begun. 


The old book, The Path of the Divine, had become his constant companion. Its pages, once cryptic, now seemed to speak directly to him, revealing secrets and insights that had eluded him before. The text described the nature of the universe, the interplay between the physical and spiritual realms, and the role of mortal protectors in maintaining balance. Agastya felt that every word was meant for him, guiding him on his path.
