Raksha, once a kind and gentle soul who found peace in the forest, stumbled upon the injured goddess of nature-an embodiment of the Earth itself. Her words were filled with despair, revealing that she had been suffering for centuries as humanity and dark forces relentlessly exploited the planet. Her fragile state mirrored the condition of the world: scarred, broken, and on the verge of death.

The promise Raksha made to her was not born out of obligation, but from a place of deep love and respect. He saw himself as her son, her protector. But each attempt to warn others and prevent harm to the Earth was met with resistance. The townspeople ridiculed him, calling him a madman, and some even resorted to violence. With each failure, the goddess weakened further, her light dimming as Raksha's spirit was tested by despair.

One day, after yet another failed attempt to rally people to protect the land, Raksha returned to the cave, tears streaming down his face. He knelt before the goddess and spoke in a voice choked with sorrow, "Mother, I am not worthy. I cannot save you. I am too weak."

The goddess, her voice soft but unwavering, whispered, "Son, you are not weak. Your heart is as pure as water, as luminous as the moon. You have tried where others have turned away. Your love is my greatest strength." She then revealed to him the secret of OM, a force that transcended the boundaries of creation itself-a power that could reshape the world and forge a connection with the supreme being from which all life flowed.

"OM," she said, "is more than a word. It is the essence of creation, preservation, and destruction. It is a bond that ties the cosmos to the divine. To master it is to wield the very essence of life and death. You must learn its secrets and use it to fulfill your promise."
