We Are The Children Of सरस्वती

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?

Guys please you don't understand that they're innocent people 14 crore as a compensation is so necessary for all the 14 family members he lost what would he do now. Those 14 were his future terrorists now he will need to find new ones and train them and that needs money. 14 crore is so less. Have you looked at the Pakistani economy. I think he'd need more. Let's be supportive guys.

The Pakistan government reportedly promised to pay rupees 14 crore($1.7 million) compensation to terrorist Masood Azhar, the chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organisation, due to 14 of Azhar's family members perishing in the Indian airstrikes of terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.

Wait, you said son/daughter. Can you elaborate?

Women in Mahabharata - Vidhata

She is described as a son/daughter of Khyati and Bhrigu. Her siblings are Dhata and Lakshmi.

In Mahabharata, in the tale of Uttanka, she appears as a woman in the Naga realms, alongside her sister Dhata, where they weave the black-and-white threads of days and nights, on the wheel of time which is turned by the six seasons.

Dhata and Vidhata have been since long been thought of as the twin goddesses presiding over the concept of Fate.

If only we had the original manuscripts and texts, we'd be able to answer these questions. A lot of things get lost in translation, sadly ofcourse.

Reading is such a journey cz sometimes you know what you're reading and the story has a base but sometimes it's just mahabharat and you can do nothing about it.

literally sat down with clenched teeth and had to calm down myself after I started reading Sambhava Parva.

I've read until Arjun's birth if anyone's wondering

My thoughts until now:

Shakuntala deserved better.

no way you just said that

Ok so I was cheering on the wrong side apparently

So then Devyani was the earliest sister-zoned lady

Devyani is such a papa ki pari.

Sharmistha— girl— that's not how it's supposed to work and we all know it.

Brother find a therapist— wait did they have therapists back then?

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?

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.

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.

I have been a little overwhelmed from writing and reading so much about the attacks. I had just started to catch up with what was happening in Bengal and this happened. And I had to let it out. Had to speak up. Had to educate myself on what happened.

But today I took a break

Google Lens-ed it and it says something like "it's wrong to look at them kiss"

A divine kiss by mmmmmr

Newsflash, Hindus have a divine feminine, and no she's not just pretty pretty as Lakshmi, or pure and simple as Saraswati, she's also rage and destruction like Kali and Durga. If you don't believe in this, you're a misogynist, because why will you see only a masculine figure as God?

And what about transwomen? To feel more close to womanhood, they wear churi, payal, and bindi too. Are you telling me that's wrong?

Hindu traditions and festivals just enslave women and reinforce patriarchal practices, karwa chauth for example, a festival where a married woman has to fast and stay famished for whole 24 hours, NO water and food and some of them don’t even swallow their own saliva and why? for the long life and well being of her husband. Husbands are placed on a pedestal in hinduism, he is more revered than god sometimes while reducing women to obedient and self sacrificing caretakers . It reinforces the idea that a woman’s purpose revolves around a man’s needs, his health, his happiness, his survival while her own identity and agency is considered as irrelevant. In this religion women’s existence will always be tied to men and are expected to embrace such misogynistic ideals or else she’ll be labelled as a “too westernised housewife” or other names they love calling when you go against the system
