The Bhagavad Gita, from the Samkhya perspective, presents a dualistic understanding of reality, distinguishing between Purusha (consciousness, the true self) and Prakriti (matter, the physical world). Samkhya, one of the six major schools of Indian philosophy, explains that suffering arises when the self (Purusha) wrongly identifies with the material world (Prakriti). The Gita integrates this by teaching that true wisdom comes from recognizing this distinction and attaining liberation (moksha) through self-awareness and detachment. However, while classical Samkhya is non-theistic, the Gita blends it with devotion (Bhakti) and action (Karma Yoga), emphasizing surrender to Krishna as the supreme reality.

The Dharma of Aakash
A Celestial Call. A Warrior's Destiny. A Battle for Dharma. Aakash was just an ordinary young man, struggling with the burdens of work and life-until the night Adyant, the Eternal Messenger, descended from the celestial realms to awaken him. Tasked with restoring Dharma in an age consumed by darkness, Aakash learns that he has been chosen by Maha-Vishnu Himself to confront the sinister forces of Kali-Purusha and his cult, Asura Sangha-a shadowy organization corrupting the very soul of humanity. To prepare for the war ahead, Aakash must embark on a perilous journey to the sacred Mountains of Dharmashaila, where the ancient sage Rishi Vardhan awaits. Through intense trials, divine wisdom, and spiritual awakening, he will be transformed from an uncertain mortal into the warrior-sage destined to restore balance in a world slipping into chaos. But with his family's silent acceptance, a mysterious letter, and an unforeseen twist in his love life, Aakash must first face the battle within before he can take on the forces of darkness. Can he rise above doubt, temptation, and fear to embrace his true calling? A gripping fusion of mythology, philosophy, and adventure, The Dharma of Aakash is a modern spiritual epic inspired by the Bhagavad Gita. In the age of Kali-Yuga, where corruption thrives and righteousness falters, one man must answer the call of destiny and become the warrior the world needs.Complete

The Unwritten Chapter
••••••• "Kanha," she asked, her voice a mix of awe and bewilderment. "Where am I? What is this place, anyway?" "This is my abode, Sakhi," he said, his voice a gentle hum that filled her with a sense of peace. "You are in Goloka." Aaradhya's eyes widened. She had read about Goloka in ancient scriptures, a heavenly realm of eternal bliss and divine love, where Krishna resided in his truest form. "But... how?" she whispered, the word barely a breath. "I was... I was on Earth." ••••••• "Can I get my phone?" she asked, the words a simple, direct request that seemed utterly out of place in the celestial hall. The question was so mundane, so human, so utterly Aaradhya. ••••••• What's gonna happen when a cute, sarcastic, and hopeless romantic Aaradhya finds herself in the middle of her favourite epic Mahabharata..? ••••••• She sat curled in a large armchair, completely lost, on a grand adventure of dwapar yug. " IF ONLY I WAS THERE " She muttered in a low, frustrating tone and closed her eyes while thinking about her 'Kanha' ••••••••••
The Last Consort: She who waited
She Who Waited Why did she wait? What was her fate? Eons have passed since the tale of Mahabharata. The bloody war. But amidst the pages of that legend remains a character without quite an end, seemingly forgotten. But too bright to be lost, let's shed some light on the last consort's past. Cursed she was, as Lakshmi once more- To part from her beloved at every sacred door. Separation, the cruel thread woven through their fate, Lakshmi and Narayan-forever bound, forever too late. As Sita, she bore fourteen years apart, A forested ache carved deep in her heart. But time, ever turning, would not relent- It summoned the pain once more... as if heaven's debt was not yet spent. Avantika-a name the stars gently spoke, A lost princess, bathed in twilight's cloak. A child of prophecy, of love and lore, Bound to Narayan... yet left at fate's door. In Vrindavan's sunlit courtyard she stood, Pure of heart, misunderstood. Left behind not by abandonment, but by sacred decree, Even the Lord of Three Worlds could not set her free. A curse older than time, silent and cold, Stopped destiny's dance, made even gods fold. Her tears were stilled, her smile feigned, A love so bright... yet fate unchained. What bloomed like spring, withered with no warning- A tale of love that turned to mourning. despite it, memory was not all that was left, in her womb life swelled and light that kept.
𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘮 - 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦
We all carry something. Pain. Shame. Memories that feel heavier than our own bones. That quiet kind of suffering that never really leaves-even when we smile. For Ananyata Kanitkar a 16-year-old girl and an invisible presence in her own world, life has become a blur of numb mornings and anxious nights. Once full of faith in Narayana, the cosmic protector... now, she feels nothing. Just silence. Just questions. "Does He exist?" "Does He listen?" "Why me?" She's the quiet girl in the corner of the classroom, the one who doesn't speak anymore, because no one ever truly heard her in the first place. But in the vast silence of the universe, someone has heard her. And when hearts call with such despair, the Jagatpalaka listens. When the divine descends not in thunder-but in mist. When love finds you not in joy-but in ruin. What happens when the Infinite decides to touch a finite life ? Cover by @OurFictionNest
Universal Form of Shri Krishna
Hare Krishna Lord Krishna has various forms. He has impersonal and personal forms. The Universal Form is one of the various forms of Krishna. When Arjuna saw this Universal Form of Krishna, he went through many emotions that frightened even the greatest warrior that Arjuna was. Only after Lord Krishna showed him His four-handed and two-handed form, Arjuna regained his calm. Chapter-11 of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is about this Universal Form of Lord Krishna. 'Bhagavad Gita as it is' by Srila Prabhupada gives this brief description of Chapter-11 - "Lord Krishna grants Arjuna divine vision and reveals His spectacular unlimited form as the cosmic universe. Thus he conclusively establishes His divinity. Krishna explains that His own all-beautiful form is the original form of Godhead. One can perceive this form only by pure devotional service." I am going to post this Chapter-11 verse by verse with translation in Hindi and Sanskrit. Bhagavad Gita is as ancient as Sun, thus it belongs to everyone. However, the translation and commentary are written by various saints, scholars and authors. Due credit should be given to them. I am taking the translation from this website - https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/11 This Bhagavad Gita is titled Bhagavad Gita: The song of God by Swami Mukundananda. Whether you read this chapter-11 here or buy Bhagavad Gita yourself or read it at home, may the reading of this Chapter destroy all the adharmik and demonic things in your life just like Lord Krishna destroys the army of both sides of Mahabharata.
