Aum: Experience the Potent Wisdom of Ancient Philosophy in a Game

A Hyderabad-based Game studio treads into the mystifying realm to unlock the esoteric wisdom of  Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta for the younger generation.

 

Indian mythology is highly regarded as the holy grail of esoteric wisdom among spiritual practitioners from all across the globe. Unarguably, Bhagavad Gita is one of the oldest literature of modern civilization. The wisdom mentioned in the Vedas, Upanishads, or even the Bhagavad Gita enticed millions of people to the mystical land of India. The wisdom still resonates in modern science, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience as well as quantum mechanics. Starting from Schrodinger, Oppenheimer, and Nikola Tesla to Tagore and Will Smith- the wisdom shared in the Bhagavad Gita has influenced millions of people from diverse societal segments.

 

Bhagavad Gita is considered as the essence of all wisdom shared in Vedanta. The core tenets of The Bhagavad Gita is the coexistence of Brahman (Pure/Cosmic Consciousness), the underlying essence of the entire cosmos, and Atman (individual soul) the essence of individual existence. The esoteric nature of this ancient wisdom has long been confined to the erudite class. This self-transcendental knowledge was originally written in Sanskrit and the narration was deliberately made incomprehensible to the masses.

However, lately, a lot of efforts are being made to make this wisdom available to the masses. Social Media also played a crucial role in disseminating this wisdom in the form of videos, podcasts, articles, etc. Now a team of next-generation artists and programmers took a step further to make this wisdom available for the Gen-Z and Gen Alpha with a breathtaking 3D game based on the teachings of Vedanta and Bhagavad Gita. Hyderabad-based Brahman Studios has created a game with the sole objective of resonating with the teachings of Bhagavad Gita among new-generation video game players. Brahman Studios is the brainchild of two enthusiastic gamers who strongly believe that gaming isn’t just about fun; it can also be a source of learning and personal growth. They feel that as Indians, we’re fortunate to inherit a rich cultural legacy filled with timeless wisdom from epics and scriptures. This profound influence inspired them to create an educational and captivating game.

According to Sowmitri Maluchuru and Dheeraj (Founder & Co-founder), “We want to introduce our players to the wonders of Indian mythology. Our goal is to let them discover the boundless love and wisdom it holds. That’s why we’re embarking on one of the most ambitious projects in gaming. We aim to provide an experience that any gaming enthusiast would eagerly embrace and be a part of.”

Additionally, the founder of Brahman Studio, Mr. Sowmitri Maluchuru has a great understanding of Indian mythology as well. He and his team have worked for more than 2 years to design the game in the likes of Indian tradition while the Co-founder, Mr. Dheeraj has programmed a path-breaking gameplay to make it irresistible for the Centennial and Alpha Generation.
