ESSAYS

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.

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.

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

A provocative Vedantic essay exploring why the world, with all its chaos and contradiction, is exactly as it must be. Through vivid thought experiments, it reveals that perfection lies not in goodness but in completeness — that even ignorance, suffering, and death are necessary conditions for experience itself.

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?

Mithya means dependent reality. It is that which changes, appears and disappears, or is made of parts. The world is mithya: experienced, functional, but not absolute. Only Brahman is satya — changeless, ever-present, and partless.

Celebrity promises freedom but delivers captivity. The golden cage of fame dazzles the world, yet suffocates those inside it. The door stands open, but few ever walk through, because society itself demands that the illusion remain intact. In the end, the cage is not only theirs—it is ours.

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.

Maya is the power that makes the unreal appear real. Learn how Vedanta explains illusion, creation, and ignorance through this subtle and paradoxical concept.

Vedanta teaches that all objects are mithya—impermanent, dependent, and only apparently real. Backed by science and subtle reasoning, this essay shows how everything we experience is constructed in the mind and ultimately resolves into awareness.
