The Arjuna Belt

Arjuna, the great warrior of Mahabharata, reimagined as an architect of the future, built the impossible. He engineered Chandra-Jhoola—the Lunar Swing—a colossal defense belt wrapped around Earth, glowing like a halo of survival. Its purpose was singular: to intercept killer asteroids before they could end civilization. The belt reached into space like a magnetic net, seizing colossal rocks and pulling them into temporary orbit. Each capture was a spectacle of raw power and precision, a razor's edge calculation of mass, speed, and gravity. One mistake meant annihilation. One success meant the world lived to see another dawn. Then came the climax—the release. With flawless timing, the system let each asteroid slip free, and the Moon's gravity snapped them onto new, harmless paths. The Lunar Swing turned death into beauty, chaos into choreography. From Earth's surface, it was like watching the sky perform a silent, cosmic dance—giant rocks arcing away into the void, disaster rewritten as spectacle. This was not just invention; it was destiny forged in steel and starlight. The Arjuna Belt is the story of that miracle—where ancient heroism meets the future of planetary survival. Thus was born one of humanity's greatest creations, immortalized in the novella "The Arjuna Belt".
