I. The World as It Is: A Vedantic View on Change, Chaos, and the Nature of Duality 

​​

This foundational essay introduces the three gunas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—as the underlying forces of nature and mind. It explains how history, culture, and individual psychology are all shaped by their interplay. Rather than judging the world’s chaos as a failure, it invites the reader to see it as the natural expression of prakriti. True freedom, it argues, comes not from fixing the world, but from understanding it and disidentifying from its shifting states.

II. America's Kali Yuga: How a Society Loses Its Soul 

​​

Framing modern America through the mythic lens of Kali Yuga, the age of spiritual decline, this essay shows how the loss of dharma manifests as institutional decay, performative politics, consumerist spirituality, and moral confusion. Yet it also reminds us that dark times can be spiritually potent. By practicing apaddharma—dharma adapted for crisis—we can uphold truth, humility, and service even when the world appears upside-down.

COMING SOON​

In an era of constant crisis and distraction, this essay reflects on our compulsive relationship with media.

It offers practical principles to avoid being consumed by the very world we seek to understand.

V. Svadharma and the Myth of Self-Made Success 

COMING SOON​

This essay reclaims the idea of svadharma—one’s personal, natural role—as an antidote to the modern obsession with reinvention and performance. Drawing from Vedanta and modern psychology, it critiques the self-help culture’s glorification of disruption and ambition. Instead, it proposes that peace comes not from becoming something new, but from aligning with who we already are. Svadharma is presented as a compass for authentic action, psychological integration, and spiritual growth.

Coda: Puppet or Instrument? 

COMING SOON​

This reflective essay contrasts two ways of living: as a puppet unconsciously moved by ego and conditioning, or as an instrument consciously aligned with a higher order. Drawing from Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita, it suggests true freedom lies not in control, but in surrendering the sense of doership. When we act without ego, life flows through us with clarity and peace. The essay invites readers to let go of the need to control and instead become vessels for the deeper intelligence of life.
