श्री रुक्मिणी द्वादशी 🪷

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!

Can I join whatever this conversation is. I'm a devotee of Maa Saraswati. I'd like to learn more about her

What if Kanya-Saraswatism Tantra had it's own set of Mahavidyas, said to be forms of Saraswati?

Bhadrakali, Neela Saraswati, Kameshwari, ,,, Vac devi, Matangi, Kamale Kamini

OMG YEAHHHH

Wait does that means Brahmani or Ugra Kaushiki would also be considered Mahavidyas or are they separate???

Also how many Mahavidyas exactly???

Also Gayatri and Savitri??? Or are they different in this???

Justice to those who were wronged

what has war ever brought?

Can't talk about any iconic bhakts of Maa Saraswati, but I've never heard a single performance of folk singers in Awadh not have a geet dedicated to Mata Sharda Bhawani. They sing her glories for she is the goddess of art and music.

And Maihar which is in Madhya Pradesh now, is the seat of Sharda Bhawani, and people in huge numbers go there from Awadh to worship her. I've never been there but I really wish to go there one day.

I am

Maybe

A teeny tiny bit salty there aren't like well known iconic Saraswati bhakts

Atleast not any that I know off

There's Mirabai for Krishna and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa for Maa Kali

Like c'mon dude,

I expected atleast a legendary poet or astronomer or mathematician

I'm sure that the ancient universities of India were busttling with Saraswati bhakts

But why didn't they write down any of their stories and lives :(

GURL SAME

Like where did all the Saraswati bhakts go?? Just disappeared into thin air??? 😭😭😭😭

Some or rather most universities were filled with Buddhist ideologies tho so I don't know how many were Saraswati Bhakts bit I'm sure there were some ofcourse

Also another reason could be is because Saraswati wasn't/isn't much worshipped, like in the way Kali, Durga, Vishnu, Shiva, Lakshmi and all are worshipped with temples and elaborate rituals throughout Indian subcontinent...

Like I can maybe name a few temples dedicated to Saraswati and only maybe the eastern side, have a dedicated day to worship her

So yeah... Its sad she doesn't gets the recognition she deserves tho :(

Look at the hypocrisy India did not purposefully target civilians and all the intellectuals on tumblr were hating on India. Here Pakistan is clearly going after civilians and you all are silent on this? Fucking Hypocrites

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

Literally has zero personality other than hating on Hinduism. It just shows that it's insecurity.

It is like something I read once. They think they'd be bullied or rejected for being a Hindu so they choose to do this. If that is the case with leftists/seculars, then they can't really call themselves that.

Oh not this again.

You know that Hanuman in Hanuman chalisa has been called "kapi" which means monkey.

Plus how do you explain Hanuman using his tail to burn Lanka? How do you explain Makardhwaj, half-monkey half-crocodile son of Hanuman?

And okay lets assume vanar were humans, then explain Jatayu? Was he a bird or was he human too?

But ofcourse go ahead and question it.

Imagine a Ramayan adaptation where the Vanars are not monkeys...

How'd the public react lol
