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.

As Agastya continued his journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, he found himself increasingly drawn to the ancient texts and scriptures that Rishi had introduced him to. These texts were not just repositories of spiritual wisdom; they were keys to unlocking the hidden history of the world. Agastya began to realize that the stories of gods, demigods, and protectors were not mere myths or allegories—they were echoes of a forgotten past, one that held the answers to his deepest questions. 


One evening, as Agastya sat in his dimly lit apartment, his fingers tracing the worn pages of an ancient manuscript, he came across a passage that sent a shiver down his spine. It described a time when mortals walked alongside gods, when the boundaries between the physical and divine realms were fluid. This era, known as the Satya Yuga, or the Golden Age, was a period of harmony and enlightenment, where humanity had not yet succumbed to the illusions of the material world.
