I have been thinking about this and realised that we don't actually have a deva or devi for beauty. People think it is Mata Lakshmi but it's not true. None of her Ashtalakshmi forms also have her represent beauty. Mata
The sibling pairs have different skin colours — Vishnu-Parvati are dark skinned, Shiv-Saraswati are fair skinned, Brahma-Lakshmi are golden skinned — and all of them are called beautiful.
So where does this concept of beauty even come from? That fair is beautiful and dark skinned is not? Does it come from the west? From goddesses like Aphrodite, Venus or Freya? Or were they also made to represent beauty in the modern world to suit white people's beauty standards?
Went here last year after visiting Ghrishneshwar Mahadev.
Lord Vishnu on a Lotus A plenary portion of the Personality of Godhead known as the Supersoul resides within the body in the region of the heart. His four hands carry a lotus, a wheel of a chariot, a conchshell and a club. His mouth expresses happiness and His eyes are like the petals of a lotus flower. He wears yellowish garments and gold ornaments set with jewels. On His chest is the Kaustubha gem, and His torso is garlanded with fresh flower #gita #bhagavadgita #gitahindi #krishna #devotion #bhakti #iskcon #vaishnav

Sound ON if you want to listen to the sound of flowing water
This was on the way back from visiting the Mata Vaishno Devi.
Does that lie help you sleep better?
India violated the ceasefire as expected
I'm just so sad
I was going to compare them to snakes and scorpions. But these terrorists and pakistani muslims are a different breed in themselves. Spineless at times and at times backstabbing. Lower than the creeper-crawlers.
People on Indiablr who are surprised "OMG Pakistan violated the ceasefire I can't believe this😨😨" don't really understand who we are dealing with right now.
This exact same thing happened in previous fights too, exact same statement was given by India after 26/11 that– the next time Pakistan breaks the treaty, it will be accepted as a signal for war.
Since then, more than 15 years have passed, just count the number of times Pakistan attacked India.
That country is a terrorist nation quite to its core. You have to be another level of shameless to openly accept that you've been funding terrorism for the last 30 years. This was such a good opportunity but yea no government ne hath main chudiyan pehen rakhi hain, even after last night's violation, Misri is still ready to negotiate.
Kutte ki dum kabhi seedhi nhi hoti.
You guys do understand that it's a translation from either modern time or the 20th century.
Translation is the key word here

Mata Saraswati would really feel bad when someone gets made fun of their voice or of their speech impairments.

The amount of मटका-s and सुराही-s I've broken as a kid and as a teen in summers is insane. I don't know how my parents found the courage to forgive me each time. We used to buy it in UP during summer vacation but never were able to carry it to Mumbai. All thanks to me.
सुराही-s have those intricate details and my mother is fond of such pottery. And I've broken multiple. It's the American equivalent of breaking your mother's favourite vase or favourite china dish
matke ka paani has no right to be so goddamn delicious!
It was Kashmir a few years ago, it was Bengal recently, it was Kashmir again today.
Who knows when they'd come knocking on your doors, asking you're a Hindu, and shoot you point blank just for that.
