I've Been Meaning To Talk About This.

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

Having said that. It made me really happy to see two women lead the Operation Sindoor since they thought of hindu women (the wives and family members of the deceased in the Pahalgam attack) as weak. And two women, one Hindu and one Muslim, proved to the terrorists that they aren't weak.

Whether they wear sindoor or they wear a burqa, women are not to be mistaken to be weak.

I might be too late to comment on this.

So yes Operation Sindoor was a success. It was a feat.

But the moment some fools in India came to know Col. Sofiya Qureshi was amongst the 2 women who led this, all of them started reducing her to just her religious identity. I even heard someone say "it must be intentional because the terrorists attacked based on religion" what if it's not. What if she was chosen because she could lead it. Not because of some DEI points either.

Let's not promote the same thing we stand against.

चैती गीत

Let's talk about Chaiti (चैती)

It is a folk song genre sung in Awadhi and Bhojpuri in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Nepal and neighbouring areas.

Chaiti is specifically sung during the month of चैत्र—or as we call it in Awadhi, चैत—where it gets its name from. The most important aspect of a chaiti for me is the usage of रामा. I have never heard of a chaiti without it.

There are devotional songs—especially sung during राम नवमी and चैत्र नवरात्र. There are songs about the season itself—the koel’s call, the flowers that blossom in spring, and mango trees, the changing weather. And then there are the songs of yearning (बिरहा), sung by a बिरहन, a woman in longing. Why? Because spring is here, but the one she wants to experience it with is not.

Like this one here by the brilliant Girija Devi ji -

शुभ रामनवमी 🪷

श्रीराम राम रघुनन्दन राम राम । श्रीराम राम भरताग्रज राम राम । श्रीराम राम रणकर्कश राम राम । श्रीराम राम शरणं भव राम राम ॥

Rama who is the delight of the Raghus । Rama who is elder brother of Bharata । Rama who is tormentor of his enemies । I come under refuge of God Rama.

श्रीरामचन्द्रचरणौ मनसा स्मरामि । श्रीरामचन्द्रचरणौ वचसा गृणामि । श्रीरामचन्द्रचरणौ शिरसा नमामि । श्रीरामचन्द्रचरणौ शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥

I remember the feet of Sri Ramachandra in my mind । I praise the feet of Sri Ramachandra by my speech । I salut the feet of Sri Ramachandra by bowing down my head । I take refuge on the feet of Sri Ramachandra by bowing myself down.

These are the real monsters. We don't need stories to scare kids anymore, give them nightmares. Because living side by side these monsters is enough of a nightmare.

While India bombed terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and damaged their airbases these Pakistani men are discussing on X (twitter) spaces how they will accept Indian women after they convert to Islam. These low lives can only think about sęx sląvery.

कुकुर is awadhi for dog

And this is such an interesting festival. We don't appreciate our dogs much.

Yes, so astronomically/astrologically(it's the same in our religion anyway), whenever the Sun passes through the same house as Rahu, there's a Solar eclipse, given the moon is positioned right opposite this conjunction, which means it is a new moon.

Similarly, a lunar eclipse is when Moon is in conjunction with Ketu, given that Sun is right opposite this conjunction. Which means it is a full moon.

And this year in March, we have both Solar and Lunar eclipse happening. Rahu is in Pisces, and Ketu is in Virgo. On March 13, it was a full moon, the Moon is in conjunction with Ketu. And so that's when a Lunar eclipse happened. On March 29, Sun is in conjunction with Rahu. So that's when the solar eclipse will happen.

Hope that helps.

So no one ever told me about Ram ji roasting the moon and listing it faults because it's just not as beautiful as Maa Sita after looking at her once in the gardens? No one?

And then he just returned to his Guru like nothing happened? As if he didn't just talk to the moon and insult it?

I generally prefer Valmiki Ramayan but the Balkand in Ramcharitmanas is pure gold.

Just imagine how our Hindu gods must feel when humans make fun of facial features.

Ganesh ji would feel bad when someone makes fun of someone's teeth.

Shiv ji and Mata Gauri must feel bad when someone makes fun of someone's eyes or their hair type.

Vishnu ji (and by extension Mata Lakshmi and Mata Gauri) must feel bad when someone makes fun of their skin colour or marks on their body.

Brahma ji would feel bad when someone is made fun because of wrinkles or early graying of hair or any signs of aging.

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?

No. Chandra isn't a she/they. Hindus have never seen Chandra as a female.

Whoever translated this did a very bad job. I think I did point that out already in one of my previous reblogs.

So no one ever told me about Ram ji roasting the moon and listing it faults because it's just not as beautiful as Maa Sita after looking at her once in the gardens? No one?

Remember, it was not an attack on Pakistan or Islam. It was an attack on terrorism.

Justice is served ,
