Niyati - The Law Beneath the Dream
A reflective essay on the Sanskrit term niyati—the unseen order that governs cause and effect, the quiet symmetry beneath māyā’s illusion. In Vedanta, niyati is not fate but the lawful rhythm through which dharma restores balance and consciousness finds its way back to itself.


The Seeker and the Storm
A seeker watches America unravel and turns to a teacher for understanding. Their dialogue explores the forces of māyā, karma, and the gunas that drive society’s confusion—and how dharma quietly restores itself through clarity, not conflict.


Purusharthas - The Four Aims of Human Life
The purusharthas are the four goals of human life: artha (security), kama (pleasure), dharma (virtue), and moksha (liberation). Vedanta teaches that moksha is the highest and ultimate aim.


When Maya Wears a Uniform - A Vedantic Case Study in Evil
A companion to “What is Evil and Why Does it Exist?”, this essay explores how fascism arises when tamas and rajas overwhelm sattva, why Ishvara’s order permits such darkness, and the dharmic responsibility that falls to witnesses in resisting it.


Embracing Health: A Dharmic Perspective on Well-Being
Health is dharmic when it is stewardship, not worship. Bryan Johnson’s “Don’t Die” mantra reveals how health culture slips into maya — the obsession with youth, metrics, and immortality. True health is sattvic: clarity, balance, and freedom, not bondage.
