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. Yet, true fulfillment eluded him as he defied natural order. His story challenges the pursuit of power at any cost, prompting reflection on the authenticity of desires. Swarg’s allure persists, echoing in societal aspirations and the mythological realm alike, illustrating humanity’s enduring fascination with power and distinction.
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. His cunning schemes even ensnared the King of Kashi and others who were skeptical of Sri Krishna. However, Poundrik’s deceit eventually unraveled in a confrontation with the real Sri Krishna, leading to his downfall.
The story of Poundrik serves as a stark reminder that even in antiquity, skilled deceivers could manipulate and mislead. This cautionary tale finds resonance in contemporary society, where modern-day figures, akin to Poundrik, continue to deceive people with false claims of divinity or authority. The parallels between ancient deception and modern-day imposters underscore the timeless human tendency to be drawn to illusions and the struggle to discern truth from falsehood.

In this part we take a 180° turn to meet his other half, the mystic headless eternal spiritual seeker hiding behind the veils of mist. Where Rahu was the descent into chaos, Ketu is the one who rises from that chaos. Ketu’s story is same as Rahu (read: Decent in Chaos). Quick recap — Samudra …
