ESSAYS

In an age obsessed with methods, progress, and self-improvement, Vedanta stands alone: a teaching that offers nothing to gain and no one to gain it. This essay explores why its uncompromising truth will never capture the masses — and why it will never die out.

A lyrical meditation on technology, illusion, and the fading edges of the real.

A reflection on the contemplative life—why solitude is natural, not lonely, and how true companionship is found only in silence and the Self.

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.

An in-depth exploration of Vedanta’s teaching method (adhyaropa–apavada), explaining how the tradition leads the seeker from duality to nonduality through a structured process of superimposition and negation. Includes an appendix outlining the progressive curriculum of Vedanta — from Tattva Bodha to Panchadashi — within the shastra–guru–shishya model.

An exploration of Vedanta’s ultimate limit: maya, the inscrutable power that makes the real appear unreal. Why even the highest wisdom cannot “understand” maya—and why freedom lies not in explanation, but in awakening.
