JĀNAKĪRĀGHAVĪYAM - (The Epic of Jānakī and Rāghava) "Ātmānaṁ mānuṣaṁ manye." ("I consider myself a human being, and nothing more." -Rāma, Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddha Kāṇḍa) Exile was supposed to be quiet. A forest. A leaf-hut. A vow kept in silence. But Daṇḍakā does not let virtue sleep. A golden deer. A moment of separation-small enough to be missed, deadly enough to rewrite destiny. In the sky, a vulture bleeds for Dharma. In Laṅkā, a queen watches her kingdom rot under lust. In Ayodhyā, an innocent prince waits in his hermit for the return of his brother deceived in the name of dharma. This is not the Ramayana you were told as a bedtime myth. This is the Ramayana as it feels when you stand inside it-where Dharma is not poetry, but pressure... and every choice bleeds. A crown is lost, not by defeat, but by a promise kept too perfectly. A forest becomes a courtroom where silence is evidence. A woman's purity is not fragility-it is defiance sharpened into steel. A brother's devotion becomes a weapon that cuts even his own heart. A demon's lust is not romance-it is political decay wearing gold. Here, Ravana is not just a villain-he is a ruler collapsing under his own hunger. Mandodari is not just a queen-she is the last conscience of an empire. Seetha is not a captive-she is a storm trapped in a garden. Rama is not a flawless god-he is a man forced to carry grief until it turns cosmic. This retelling digs into the unsaid: The human cost behind "divine plans." It asks what epics rarely ask-what did it feel like? What did silence cost? What did virtue destroy? And what happens when love itself becomes a battlefield? Because Ramayana is not about good vs evil. It is about control vs collapse. Truth vs temptation. And the terrifying truth that even heaven can fall when Dharma is tested by desire. #2 in fantasycreatures - 26/2/26 #4 in retelling -9/2/26 #6 in fantasyfiction - 11/2/26 #11 in epicfantasy -22/2/26

Words-once spoken-can only be forgiven. Their irreversible weight has always made the oldest caution the young, lest they carry regret as their ancestors did. Alas! No one heeds this lesson until it is too late. And amidst the marbled halls of Indraprastha, where love, duty, and ambition entwine, a new precedent quietly unfolds: Where promises are fulfilled at the cost of pain: "I cannot promise a world without bloodshed, Abhijishya. But I can promise you this-wherever I go, I will first seek peace. I will extend a hand before I draw my sword. And if war must happen, I will fight so that it ends quickly and with as little loss as possible." Where vigilance and mercy intertwine: "Order without respect descends into tyranny, and tyranny breeds the very rebellions we are bound to prevent." Where will is more stubborn than destiny: "I refuse it. I refuse to stand by while they tear her apart. And for that, if I have to lie, deceive, betray any other, I will. I require no divine protection." Where power fans greed, and greed kindles fury: "Let me see who dares come for you." Where a woman grasps the weight of royalty, and finds her might radiates most fiercely in the most vulnerable moments. Dhruvi Maa - Rajneeti Matrika - Māyin Turn the pages of Vac and witness a woman's ascent and undoing, her battles fought behind doors, as she challenges destiny itself and reclaims what it means to be a warrior within the halls of the palace. --- Book II of Smriti Samprajanya Series.

*COMPLETED* [30k+ words] A 21st century girl time travels to an alternate universe in the 3000 BC era which is believed to be the era of Mahabharata epic. The story is not based on the the original epic. It only takes a reference to that epic as most people know the epic and will find it easy to relate to the characters and places.It is totally based on my imagination. I have tried to make it as realistic as I could. Includes probable love triangle as of now. Cover by me!

Disclaimer : This story is a complete work of fiction and this in no way intends to hurt anyone's religious beliefs. I will try my best to justify the story. Time travelling is something which is a matter of discussion everywhere. Some say it's possible, some say it's not. But you know what, when god conspires to do something and to teach us something, he can go to any lengths for that. And when he wants to teach the purity of love, the essence of togetherness and the real meaning of soulmates, he will do that even at the time of war. Love is associated with pain, pleasure, seperation, then coming back together, fighting our demons together and what not. What happens when the definition of love is completely changed, when lover conquers all Time Demons Separation Sorrow Humiliation and every other pain you can count in this world. Let's embark on this journey of redefinition of lover where it's a union of souls and not body. Plagiarism is not appreciated. Strict action will be taken for the same.
