The Agni Sutra: Secrets of the Ancients

part 2 : is teleporting real?

The three friends sat at their favorite café, the air filled with the comforting scent of coffee. Tanuj couldn't hold back any longer. His thoughts had been racing for days.

"Do you ever wonder," Tanuj began, leaning forward, "how Lord Krishna and others in ancient texts traveled such huge distances so quickly? I mean, the Mahabharata says they could cross the entire land in a single day."

Dhruv looked up from his cup, raising an eyebrow. "Are you seriously suggesting they had some kind of teleportation? Come on, Tanuj. It's mythology, not science."

Tanuj grinned, undeterred. "I'm not saying it was like sci-fi teleportation exactly, but what if it was something close? Think about it, Dhruv. There are countless things from ancient times we've labeled as myths just because we don't understand them."

Anshika, who had been quiet until now, scoffed lightly. "So now we're talking about teleportation? Really? Where's the proof, Tanuj? All those Sanskrit books you've read-have they ever mentioned anything remotely close to that?"

Tanuj leaned back, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Not directly, no. But there are mantras-ancient chants-that describe what we might see as impossible. What if we've just lost the knowledge to understand them? I've come across descriptions that hint at movement across distances in ways we can't explain today."

Dhruv, now a bit more intrigued, put down his cup. "Wait, are you saying there could be something hidden in these old texts? Like some lost technology or... a method that explains how they traveled those distances so fast?"

Tanuj nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! What if those old stories aren't just exaggerations? What if there's a mantra or an ancient technology buried in the texts, waiting to be rediscovered?"

Anshika crossed her arms, still skeptical. "And where do you plan to find this magic mantra? In one of your ancient books?"

Tanuj's voice dropped, becoming almost conspiratorial. "Maybe in The Agni Sutra. I've been reading about it, and I think there are clues hidden within its pages. We just need to figure out what they mean."

The room fell silent, the weight of his words lingering in the air. Dhruv glanced at Anshika, who met his gaze with a doubtful look. But there was something about Tanuj's passion that made them both pause.

"So what's the plan?" Dhruv asked, leaning forward, unable to hide his curiosity.

Tanuj smiled. "We start by digging deeper into the ancient texts. We might be closer to the truth than we think."
