I Might Be Too Late To Comment On This.

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

|| ॐ नमः शिवाय ||

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.

You all this is demi erasure. Calling it friends to lovers or "normal" love. Your age shouldn't be an excuse for this kind of ignorance.

SMH

Brooo wtf 🤣🤣🤣

That's the definition of demiromantic btw.

Isn't that just normal love?

Doesn't everyone need a deep emotional connection before getting romantic attraction???

Hindus, Jews and Iranians stand against Jihad.

Perhaps the three oldest communities that have faced the onslaught of Islamic jihad for centuries and lived to tell the tale.

We stand against Islamic terrorism.

श्री रुक्मिणी द्वादशी 🪷

Rukmini Devi, the Queen Consort of Krishna is the Swarupa-shakti (mulaprakriti), and she is the Queen / Mother of the Divine World (jagatkatri), Dwaraka/Vaikunthah.

You are Jaanki, you are Lakshmi, the one who resides on Lord Vishnu's chest. You are the empress of Vaikuntha! You always shower blessings on your Devotees.

-Rukmini Ashtakam

कृष्णप्रिये नमस्तुभ्यं विदर्भाधिपनंदिनि । सर्वकामप्रदे देवि गृहाणार्घ्यं नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ २२ ॥

O daughter of ruler of Vidarbha & the beloved of Kṛṣṇa! We bow down to you. O Goddess & giver of all wishes! please accept our offerings of worship and we pay our obeisance to you

Oh the one who sparkles by the beauty of all limbs! By all these I know that you the most beautiful, the daughter of the Bhoja king (Rukmini), are the second soul of Krishna

Krishna bring whipped 🤭:

"My mind is always fixed on Rukmini, just like hers is on me. I can’t even sleep at night."

What's more interesting is that the Tridev took rebirth as sons of Anusuya and Atri. And it was Brahma who was born as Chandra.

And according to some texts, Brahma and Lakshmi are siblings (just like Shiv and Saraswati, and Vishnu and Gauri are siblings). So, yeah he again became Lakshmi's brother when they emerged from the sagar manthan.

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.

Sant Tulsidas (2/2)

Sant Tulsidas’ influence extended far beyond literature.

He is often credited with popularizing Ramlila, the dramatic retelling of the Ramayana. Tulsidas' Ramcharitmanas, and the language of choice Awadhi, inspired its widespread adoption, making it a central part of cultural and religious celebrations across India.

Monuments dedicated to Tulsidas, such as the Tulsidas Smarak Bhavan in Varanasi and the Tulsidas Temple in Ayodhya, stand as tributes to his lasting legacy.

Tulsidas’ works, especially the Ramcharitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa, are still widely referenced in pop culture, from television shows to films and music.

I think one of the greatest things about Sanatan/hinduism is how animals are so intrinsically involved in worship and divinity, something which is often used by Hinduphobes to poke fun at us but I’m super proud of my ancestors for making us understand that every being is divine. That divinity is everywhere and that includes animals and plants as well.
