What if the world's most revered spiritual texts and philosophies were never meant to become religions?

In The Original Intent, independent thinker and philosophical engineer Sandeep Chavan takes readers on a bold, intelligent journey across time, culture, and consciousness to decode the true purpose behind humanity's oldest teachings. This is not a book of faith—it is a book of clarity. A dialogue with the past to rescue the wisdom that was buried beneath institutions, rituals, and dogmas.

Drawing from figures like Krishna, Buddha, Vyasa, Confucius, Patanjali, Jesus, Muhammad, Socrates, Ambedkar, Vivekananda, and many others, Chavan creates a powerful narrative arena where forgotten voices return—not to preach, but to converse. Through these deeply human, intellectually fierce exchanges, the book reveals how ancient teachings were originally designed as adaptive manuals, not theological mandates. They were intended to guide seekers, not manufacture believers.

Each chapter tackles a vital question:

• Were these teachings ever meant to form religions?


• Why do we need God?


• What is our true purpose?


• Who or what actually drives our actions—nature, soul, or free will?


• How did sacred ideas become institutionalized—and at what cost?

At the heart of the book is Chavan's own voice—bridging Eastern metaphysics, Western philosophy, and the cutting-edge lens of his framework Universal Energy Dynamics (UED). With sharp reasoning and deep empathy, he reframes ideas like karma, dharma, the soul, intelligence, and truth as living principles rooted in consequence and awareness—not in belief.

Part of the groundbreaking The War of Thoughts series, The Original Intent is the fourth volume and stands as a pivotal work: grounding the cosmic, decoding the sacred, and rebuilding the bridge between wisdom and relevance.

For anyone who has ever asked, "What were our ancestors really trying to tell us?"—this book is your invitation to rediscover the answer, not in blind reverence, but in conscious reflection.

Sandeep Chavan doesn't offer conclusions. He reawakens questions that were never meant to be forgotten.
