So I Decided To Go Out Today. I Usually Plan It All Out But Today Was Spontaneous.

So I decided to go out today. I usually plan it all out but today was spontaneous.

Luckily Jehangir Art Gallery was a part of it. And I'm glad I went there. The paintings and the art on display were majorly Hinduism related. Hindu gods, stories like Shakuntala, and Shiv ji's wedding to Mata Parvati, birth of Ganesh ji.

Ofcourse, photography isn't allowed, so I don't have pictures. Plus I don't click pictures of art either way because a phone cannot capture the true beauty of those amazing amazing art

But I did get a pamphlet/catalogue thingy for one of the displays -

Why would an Asuri attack Swarga if an Asuri already rules it as Devrani? (Asuris are girl's girls)

Shachi is an asuri. She is called Poulomi after her father Asur king Pouloman

So

Ik we shouldn't always make the Ashurs villain (cuz all of them are not the villains and I'll yell this till the end)

But why we never have any Asuri being a villain??? (Other than Mahishi ofc)

Why no Ashuri wants to conquer the universe or swarga or have some beef with Indra or any of the Gods

Why non of them are asking for any vardaan from either Brahma or Shiva

I feel like then Parvati/Vishnu will have to find even more complicated ways to defeat them 🗿

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYINGGGGGGGG

This is why Mahishi my beloved

I mean hey I support women's rights but also women's wrongs yanno

Mahishi is so cool hsjskskd also im glad she doesn't get any of those Ovidish Medusa treatment in our mythology

She's a straight up beast and she knows it 💅

We need more evil Asuris frrr

If that makes you happy, so be it. How you view women and I view women is totally different. That's the truth and makes me feel okay. And goodbye to you too

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

Oh still the left will somehow find a way to justify this and tell us how we're the villains in this. Would I be surprised? No.

This is a call out post. This is not coming from a feminist, but a Hindu.

True Hinduism gives equal respect to feminine and masculine energies.

So, men, you need to evaluate how you view women while claiming you're a Hindu.

How can you call yourself a Hindu while calling women names, while making and laughing at gr*pe jokes, while turning a blind eye to assault?

What are you even doing? You chant "Jai Shri Ram" and use the same vocal cords to hurl a slur at a woman you all have collectively demonized. You comment gr*pe threats under a woman's post like you’re above consequences.

And since I mentioned Shri Ram, let me remind you:

He continued to treat Surpanakha with respect, continued addressing her as "devi", even after she expressed her desire to kill Mata Sita so that she gets to marry Shri Ram. Even after she crossed every line of maryada.

He didn’t degrade her, didn’t mock her.

What would he think of you now?

You add sanskrit shlokas in your bio, but your comment history drips with filth. You bow at Mata Durga’s feet during Navratri, then talk about women’s bodies in a degrading manner.

This isn’t Hinduism. This is *misogyny wrapped in saffron*.

You're so desperate to not associate with what Islam or other Abrahmic religions stand for. And yet you're an equal part of the misogyny that they perpetuate on women everywhere in India.

Take out some time and really think about it. Are you a true Hindu or is it just for social media?

Are you really ready to fight adharma? Do you not know that for any fight with Adharma you want to win, you'd need the feminine energy on your side, by your side, and at times have them lead you. Our ancient texts, our folklore, our puranas are evidence for it.

"Har Har Mahadev! ✨ Celebrating The Divine Energy Of Maha Shivratri"
"Har Har Mahadev! ✨ Celebrating The Divine Energy Of Maha Shivratri"

"Har Har Mahadev! ✨ Celebrating the Divine Energy of Maha Shivratri"

Shiva (Lord Shiva) + ratri (night), so Shivaratri means the night of Lord Shiva." Devotees of Lord Shiva generally observe a strict fast on this day, with some undertaking a nirjal fast, abstaining even from water. The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (12.13.16) states vaiṣṇavānāṁ yathā śambhuḥ, indicating that Lord Shiva is the best of the Vaishnavas, the devotees of Lord Krishna. Gaudiya Vaishnavas worship Lord Shiva on this day to seek his blessings to become better devotees of Lord Krishna (Vishnu), rather than to attain residence in the abode of Shiva.

Origin and History of Maha Shivratri

The origins of Maha Shivratri are deeply rooted in Vedic scriptures and ancient traditions. There are multiple explanations for its significance:

1. Appearance of Lord Shiva – According to the Linga Purāṇa, Maha Shivratri marks the divine manifestation of Lord Shiva in the form of a Jyotirlinga, an infinite pillar of light, symbolizing his supreme, formless nature.

2. Marriage of Shiva and Parvati – The Skanda Purāṇa and Shiva Purāṇa mention that Maha Shivratri is the night when Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati, representing the union of Shakti (energy) and Shiva (consciousness).

3. Shiva’s Cosmic Dance – It is believed that on this night, Lord Shiva performed the Tāṇḍava, the divine dance of creation, preservation, and destruction, emphasizing the cosmic cycle.

4. Krishna’s Words in Mahabharata – In the Anushasana Parva (14.144), Lord Krishna advises Yudhishthira that observing Maha Shivratri with devotion bestows blessings and liberation.

5. Legend of the Hunter – The Shiva Purāṇa narrates the story of a hunter who unknowingly worshiped Shiva by dropping Bilva leaves on a Shiva Linga while hiding on a tree. This act freed him from past sins, signifying the power of sincere devotion.

Thus, Maha Shivratri has been celebrated for millennia, signifying Shiva’s role in the cosmic order and the power of devotion in attaining divine grace.

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

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.

So trans women putting on makeup and jewellery is good. But Hindu women doing the same is bad. Isn't feminism about choices?? Talk about double standards.

And just like there are women about whom there's nothing divine, there are men who have no divinity about them. And they're the rapist, the misogynist, the अधर्मी. The ones who push people away from their dharma. And by dharma I mean duties not religion.

I'm sorry but you're just a misogynist. It's like when women call other women bad feminists because they married and had a baby early or because a woman decided to settle for traditional gender roles.

And okay I get it now, you're talking about the imbalance in beauty standards, I can totally agree on that. Hindus have no strict beauty standards though. We have gods with fair skin and dark skin. And they adorn themselves the same way. Mata Kali is a married feminine energy, we see her wear all sorts of shringar, plus a garland of skulls. Her divine spouse Mahadev, adorns his body with bhasma, snakes and also wears a garland of skulls. And they're both revered in Hinduism.

And at the same time, we have feminine energies like Mata Anusuya who was seen above the Tridevi. And she was a rishika. She didn't wear these fancy jewelleries. So maybe take a minute to think about whether you have a problem with jewellery or Hinduism.
