“Kurukṣetra, the great battlefield, is not merely a physical plain — it is the field of consciousness, the inner arena where every individual must confront the war between dharma (righteousness) and adharma (ignorance and desire).
The Pāṇḍavas stand for the higher virtues — truth, courage, devotion, self-control, and righteousness —
while the Kauravas embody the lower impulses — greed, anger, pride, jealousy, and attachment.”

“Rāmāyaṇa” means the journey of Rāma. On the surface, it is the story of Prince Rāma of Ayodhyā, but in the yogic decoding, it is the inner journey of Cit (pure consciousness) from bondage to liberation.
• Daśaratha (ten-charioted king) symbolizes the human body governed by the ten senses (five jñānendriyas and five karmendriyas).

• His three queens represent the three guṇas of nature — Kausalyā = sattva, Kaikeyī = tamas, Sumitrā = rajas.

• The four sons are the inner faculties of mind:
• Rāma = Cit (pure awareness)
• Lakṣmaṇa = Buddhi (discrimination)
• Bharata = Ahaṁkāra (ego, surrendered)
• Śatrughna = Manas (mind, coordinator of senses)
Rāma’s journey is assisted by Hanumān, symbol of prāṇa (disciplined life-force), and the Vānara-sena, the semi-conscious powers of the subconscious mind. Together, they construct Rāma Setu, the bridge of focus and discipline that crosses the ocean of the subconscious, linking conscious and unconscious realms.
In Laṅkā, the fortress of ego at the Maṇipūra (navel centre), Rāma battles Rāvaṇa, the ten-headed ego embodying the ten negative tendencies (kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada, mātsarya, fear, doubt, arrogance, ignorance). With the help of awakened prāṇa, Rāma destroys the ego and frees the soul.
On the yogic path, this journey represents the breaking of the three granthis (psychic knots):
• Brahma Granthi (at Mūlādhāra – bondage to matter)
• Viṣṇu Granthi (at Anāhata – bondage to emotions/ego-identity)
• Rudra Granthi (at Ājñā – bondage of subtle ego and duality).
When these knots are broken, Rāma (consciousness) reunites with Sītā (Śakti, inner soul-energy, born of Earth at Mūlādhāra). Their reunion is not at the physical level, but at the Sahasrāra (crown lotus), symbolizing the ultimate union of consciousness and energy — the supreme state of Yoga.
Thus, the Rāmāyaṇa is not just history or mythology, but a timeless inner map of the yogic seeker’s journey from the rule of the senses to the liberation of the soul.”

“Ramayana is not just a story — it is the story of each one of us.
Our body with ten senses (five jñānendriyas + five karmendriyas) is King Daśaratha. The three guṇas within us are queens: sattva (Kausalyā), rajas (Sumitrā), and tamas (Kaikeyī). The four inner faculties are sons: Chit (Rāma), Buddhi (Lakṣmaṇa), Manas (Śatrughna), and Ahaṁkāra (Bharata).
Kundalinī Śakti (Sītā) rests in Mūlādhāra, while Prāṇa (Hanumān) is the force that unites Śakti with Chit. When yoga stills the vṛttis, Śakti rises to meet Rāma at Sahasrāra.
Ayodhyā is the heart (Anāhata), Laṅkā is the ego-centre (Maṇipūra), and Rāvaṇa is the ten-faced ego. When ego rules, Śakti(Sita) is trapped. When Ego(Rāvaṇa) is conquered by Chit(Rama) with the help of Prāṇa(Hanuman), the bridge of discipline (Rāma Setu) connects the conscious and subconscious, allowing the soul to cross the ocean of saṁsāra.
Then Śakti is freed, and Consciousness and Energy unite.
Ramayana is not only the journey of Rāma,
it is our own inner journey — from bondage to liberation.”

Chitrangada is Mahat

Bhima is Prāṇamaya Kośa
Arjuna is Manomaya Kośa
Nakula is Annamaya Kośa
Sahadeva is Anandamaya Kośa
Draupadi is Kuṇḍalinī Śakti

“The Unfinished Fight

Failure visits every door,
But winners knock once more and more.
They fall, they bleed, they still believe—
Because quitting is not what they conceive.”

“The Mahābhārata is not merely an epic of kings and war.
It is the living expression of Sāṅkhya philosophy and the inner science of consciousness.
Every character, every battle, and every dialogue in this timeless scripture encodes a principle of existence — a tattva, revealing the architecture of reality itself. This book deciphers that hidden yogic and philosophical code behind the world’s greatest epic, unveiling how the outer story of kingdoms and conflicts mirrors the inner evolution of the soul.
King Śantanu embodies Puruṣa, pure consciousness; 
Satyavatī personifies Prakṛti, creative nature. 
The Pāṇḍavas symbolize the five Jñānendriyas and five Karmendriyas
The Pāṇḍavas symbolize the five Jñānendriyas (organs of perception) and five Karmendriyas (organs of action)
While The Kauravas represent the five Tanmātras (subtle elements) and five Mahābhūtas (gross elements)
On the subtler yogic plane, 
Yudhiṣṭhira corresponds to the Vijñānamaya Kośa,
Bhīma to the Prāṇamaya, 
Arjuna to the Manomaya, 
Nakula to the Annamaya, and 
Sahadeva to the Ānandamaya. 
Draupadī is revealed as Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, the awakening force of consciousness.

Kurukṣetra thus becomes the battlefield of the human psyche — the eternal struggle between dharma and adharma, higher virtues and lower impulses. 
Kṛṣṇa stands as Divine Wisdom, the Higher Self guiding Arjuna — the Mind — through the labyrinth of doubt.
The Bhagavad Gītā emerges here as the dialogue between Soul and Spirit — 
when Divine Consciousness speaks directly to the human heart, awakening the seeker to the path of liberation.”
