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.

Agastya had come a long way since the lightning strike that had changed his life. He had progressed through several levels of awakening, unlocking abilities that had once seemed impossible. His mind was sharper, his senses more acute, and his connection to the divine energies stronger than ever. But with each step forward, Agastya found himself grappling with an internal conflict that threatened to derail his journey. 


It started as a subtle whisper in the back of his mind, a voice questioning his motives and decisions. As his powers grew, so did the temptation to use them for personal gain. The world around him was filled with injustices, and the urge to correct them through forceful means began to cloud his judgment. The ancient texts he studied warned of such dangers, but Agastya found it increasingly difficult to resist.
