A Vedantic analysis of how extreme wealth amplifies ego, misidentification, and ignorance—revealing that the very people society admires are often the most profoundly bound.

Humanity dreams of escaping to Mars, but the real crisis isn’t environmental—it’s spiritual. "Escape to the Red Planet" argues that no frontier can save us from the unconscious mind that created our problems on Earth.

A prophetic reflection on artificial intelligence as the new Renaissance—an age of rajas unconstrained, where intellect kneels before ego and the promise of wisdom gives way to speed and appetite. What could have been humanity’s great flowering may instead become its reckoning.

A dialogue between despair and discernment — where the world’s madness becomes the mirror of awakening.

We’ve built a world that feeds on its own restlessness — economies of distraction, politics of belonging, technologies that promise completion but never deliver. Our hunger was meant to lead us inward, yet we’ve turned it into a global enterprise. Until we see that, the world will keep mistaking appetite for purpose, and noise for meaning.

An imagined interview with Shankara on a once-powerful nation in decline. His timeless Vedantic insights reveal why societies collapse and why the Self remains untouched.

We like to think we share one reality. In truth, there are eight billion private worlds, each framed by beliefs, fears, and desires. This collective patchwork feels like consensus but is only maya’s theater — fragile illusions mistaken for truth. Vedanta calls us back to the question: Who is the “I” at the center of the story?

America’s decline is not just political or economic—it is spiritual. A host of –isms have seduced the nation: consumerism, nationalism, narcissism, exceptionalism, and more. Each promised freedom, but delivered illusion. Vedanta reveals them for what they are: masks of maya, binding us to appearances while hiding the truth.

They may sit on thrones and command armies, but they are not free. Trump, Putin, the billionaires and manipulators of the modern world — these are not sovereign beings, but puppets of māyā. Caught in illusion, driven by compulsion, they are ruled by what they cannot see. This essay explores the deeper truth behind worldly power, contrasting the false sovereignty of rulers with the quiet clarity of the liberated.
