Arya has changed, seemingly overnight, as he returns to school the next day. He stands up to his bullies, no longer afraid or affected by their taunting. Pa is astounded at his son’s maturity, especially as they prepare to remove Ma from life support. Arya knows she is at peace in the backwaters, but Pa feels only emptiness and sadness. Arya knows what his father needs – deep medicine that lives in the pages of the Ramayana. Together, they begin a journey through the stories that Ma once told him as a boy.

Arya goes to school the next day. No longer afraid of his bullies, he bravely stands up to Athena and The Boys.
Someone, Arya believes Rishiji, painted and added an Asian boy to the mural outside the school.
The Boys try to get Arya to spray paint over the mural addition – or “the terrorist” as they referred to him as – but Arya refuses and the boys eventually let it go.
Arya and Pa have dinner and decide it’s time to let Ma go. His Pa marvels at how much Arya has changed, seemingly overnight.
Arya fills Ma’s hospital room with Jasmine flowers –her favorite Indian fragrance– and places her copy of the Ramayana by her pillow. They remove Ma from life support.
Arya knows Ma is at peace in the backwaters, but Pa is very sad and is in need of deep medicine.

March 31, 2022S1E19: The Backwaters—Again
With Ravana defeated, Arya goes to visit the Medicine Woman one last time. He realizes it is Ma as her True Self. As they talk, many things become clear. The reason for his journey to the backwaters wasn’t to find Deep Medicine but to see his Ma, not as a helpless woman on life support, but here guiding him. The Deep Medicine he sought, was in the Ramayana the whole time. Just as Arya was key to the epic’s survival, the epic was also key to his survival. Its stories were real and powerful. With the power of the Ramayana in his hands, he could finally say goodbye to Ma.

A misty halo formed around her head, and it dawns on Arya that she was the Moonlight who lit his path through the forest the night before
Arya realizes that the Medicine Woman is his Ma, in her true self, not strapped to a life support, but here guiding him
The medicine she had told him to search for was never in the Wild Woods, it was with Arya the whole time in the Ramayana
Ma gives him a rock that will allow him to travel back home to San Francisco
On the next episode: Arya prepares to go back home to San Francisco

March 03, 2022S1E17: Hanumana!
At first light, Arya and the vanaras begin their descent to the dark side. They reach the place where Arya has to plavang — jump, leap and fly, to get to the Ramayana. He is terrified but with the Rakshasas closing in he doesn’t have a choice. He digs deep into his being, seeking energy from Brahman Shakti, and before his own eyes, he is transformed into a powerful warrior. He leaps and soars from island to island, getting closer to the funeral pyre where the Ramayana is poised to burn. The vanaras follow, fighting the Rakshasas as they go. As soon as Arya lands near the book, the pyre beneath him erupts in flames, set by none other than Ravana. Arya had fallen perfectly into Ravana’s trap.

February 24, 2022True Fiction Project - Shadow Realm with Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran
We interrupt our regularly scheduled Shadow Realm podcast to introduce you to my other podcast, True Fiction Project which is a podcast that explores the origins of fiction. This episode interview is with Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran, the composer and conductor of the Shadow Realm soundtrack. He is an internationally renowned music composer, educator, and scholar known for his sustained contribution to music and community for the past 25 years. We talk about his incredible work on the soundtrack of Shadow Realm, a podcast project based on a young adult fantasy fiction book that I wrote. Dr. Kanniks shares how his imagination was instantly captivated by the vivid literary descriptions and how he utilized Sanskrit chants, an ancient language of India, to musically portray different characters. We also talk about the inspiration he found from his travels to the ancient village of Hampi, India. The latter part of the episode showcases Dr. Kanniks’ work as we listen to Episode 8 of Shadow Realm and hear a portion of Arya’s story.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[00:01] Kanniks Kannikeswaran introduced
[02:02] Purpose of The True Fiction Project
[03:12] His process of writing music
[10:50] Explaining lyrics and Sanskrit
[13:40] The Medicine Woman

[25:57] Where to find the music
[28:30] Episode 8 of Shadow Realm
[29:03] The Vanar’s theme
[39:06] Rishiji’s theme
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Shadow Realm is a young adult fantasy fiction story about Arya, a 15-year-old boy who fell through a fault and finds himself in the land of the Ramayana. He has to fight demons in this mythical world in order to get back home to save his mom and tackle demons in his ordinary world
Dr. Kanniks’ main inspiration came from his travels to the ancient village of Hampi in India
The vanar represent the prehistoric people descended from old world tribes, best translated as monkeys or monkey people
For the “Vanar March,” Dr. Kanniks used Sanskrit chants to create a joyful chant to go along with the vanar as they joyfully frolic and jump around
For “Rishiji’s Theme,” Dr. Kanniks used the pentatonic scale, most commonly known for meditation, to create a serene humming that captures the magic and mysteriousness of the mystical mentor
The Medicine Woman is a representation of a source of wisdom for us all
Dr. Kanniks created a total of 14 tracks to complement the podcast project which is now available on Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.
