This study investigates the Gita's teachings on self-realization, namely the path of the self (Atman) toward discovering its true nature beyond the constraints of ego, wants, and material existence.

This paper explores the trickster as a philosophical and sonic modality of consciousness through the figures of Śiva, Krishna, Nārada, and Māra. Moving beyond Western binaries of good and evil, truth and deception, it engages non-Abrahamic ontologies in which disruption, illusion, and mischief are not oppositional to knowledge, but constitutive. Trickster logic unfolds abductively—neither...
