The Discovery That Changed Everything
Inspiration Behind "The Asura’s Curse: Lost Knowledge & Hidden History
I’ve always been fascinated by ancient Sanskrit manuscripts. There’s something awe-inspiring about holding a fragment of a world long gone—a sliver of thought, memory, or insight that survived centuries. India is home to an estimated five million manuscripts today. But that’s believed to be just a fraction—possibly only 8%—of what once existed. The rest? Lost to time, decay, conquest, or simply forgotten.
That thought kept haunting me: What knowledge have we lost?
What if ancient stories weren’t just allegories, but coded histories? What were our ancestors trying to preserve, and why?
It’s easy to assume that people in the distant past were less advanced, but history—especially the kind that slips between the official lines—tells a more complex story. Some Sanskrit texts describe technologies and ideas that feel shockingly modern. At first glance, they read like mythology. But the deeper I went into old libraries, obscure archives, and untranslated works, the more I wondered: What if some of it was real?
That question became the seed of The Asura’s Curse. The novel draws from real fragments of forgotten knowledge, weaving fiction with speculative history. It’s a story born out of curiosity—and a quiet conviction that the past we’ve inherited isn’t the full story.
And maybe, just maybe, some truths were meant to resurface only when we’re ready to see them.
If this kind of storytelling speaks to you—where history, mythology, and imagination meet—consider subscribing. And if you’ve read The Asura’s Curse, I’d love to hear what part surprised you the most. Drop a comment or reach out—I read every message.
