Site Usage Guide

A guide and wiki for all the content, categories, posts, tags, galleries on this website.

Fractal Maṇḍala is a combination of blog, knowledge base/digital garden, image gallery, world-building projects and more. At first glance it's easy to get lost - or miss the amount of content there exists here for exploration.

A detailed sitemap at the bottom here gives you a complete navigation guide to all the content here. But if you just want to get started and explore on your own, I recommend choosing from these:

Contents:
Posts

Here to read? head over to Posts and begin exploring. They are sorted descending by date, which we can all agree is a boring way to explore really. So a better way to explore is to visit the Supergroups or Tags pages, which let you explore by topics of your interest. I mostly write on bhārata, itihāsa and dharma. But you'll also find stuff on web development, design, tech and AI. There are older writings of mine dealing with deeper issues - reality, existence, consciousness etc.

Knowledge Base

This site originally started as a digital garden aka knowledge base. So here you'll find content entries in style of a digital garden. I add less entries to it than I want to. The intent is to capture a knowledge base for everything I know, or think I do. But more often than not that emerges in form of written posts (see previous section).

AI Generated Art Galleries

If not even a single one out of the dozens of AI-generated art galleries on this site convince you of the wonder and utility of AI-generated art, I'll be very very surprised. Head over to Gallery to see the many albums I've put together. If you're a fan of Hindu lore, historical fiction, science fiction, or psychedelic art - I hope to delight you.

Immerse in World-Building

The projects Thean Archive and The Janapada are extremely developed world-building projects in science fiction and historical fiction respectively. Both imagine dhārmika universe, one in the alternate future, and one of the Paurāṇika past. They are structured as wikis with entries for people, places, culture, fauna, flora, species and such. Each entry contains images and describing text. Some are accompanied by short stories. The Thean Archive is more developed and detailed than The Janapada.

Web Development and Design

The Web Development and Design section contains some useful Sveltekit tutorials, lists of great apps/tools, and lot of reference snippets. Lately, also contains stuff related to AI.

Music

Only for those interested in psytrance, and amateur stuff at that. The Music section holds all the psytrance tracks I made some years back while I dabbled in Ableton Live.

Video Content

Since 2020 I've had quite a few dialogues, conferences and live speaking sessions on bhārata, itihāsa and dharma. Many of these are on Youtube, and in the Videos section you can browse these. Also visit Bṛhat's Youtube channel for a lot more video content - like conversations on civilization at Bodha, and Hindu culture rennaissance at Svarṇāñjali.

Site Tagging System

The best way to browse all of the content listed above is to use Supergroups and Tags. All writings, videos, galleries, entries and content on this site is classified into these 2 groupings. Supergroups classify the primary themes of the content here, and tags are basic and self-explanatory.
