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 stormy night when lightning had struck Agastya had marked the beginning of a journey he could never have anticipated. Now, months later, he found himself at a critical juncture—one that required him to prove his worth, not just to himself, but to the cosmic forces that had chosen him. 


Agastya's life had changed dramatically since that fateful night. He had ascended through the early levels of awakening, gradually unlocking abilities that were both awe-inspiring and terrifying. He could manipulate energy, perceive auras, and even catch glimpses of events before they happened. Yet, with each new power came a new responsibility, and a deeper understanding of the path he was on.
