In Hindu mythology, Swarg, home to Indra and celestial beings, symbolizes ultimate power. Indra’s throne embodies authority coveted across realms, paralleling modern ambitions for political and social influence. Satyavrata’s rebellious quest for uniqueness led him to forge a counterfeit Swarg with Vishwamitra’s aid, mirroring contemporary influencers’ self-created realities.

In ancient times, amidst the tales of Sri Krishna’s era, there existed Poundrik Vasudev, known as the “Alternate Vasudev,” a master of deception. Poundrik ruled over Pundra and donned the crown of Kashi, employing an “alternate Sudharshan Chakra” and other clever ruses to maintain his false divine authority.
