Navratri Mahotsav 2023 Day -7
Naavratri group 2023 is thankful to all of you for your constant support and encouragement for our efforts during this navratri festival too and tonight on seventh day of Navratri Mahotsav we worship Maa Jagdamba as Maa Kaalratri and welcome everyone who celebrate this day as mahasaptami and We welcome maa Saraswati as the goddess of wisdom peace art and knowledge with her utmost protection for our soul and mind and body .
Maa kaalratri is the most fearsome goddess and considered the most firece one in all forms of durga as everyone says but
She is fierce just like a storm or flood when lands get too dirty , nature clears it up . Like a force necessary to awaken the soul within human body . Like a pain required to realise we are not dead , like Medicine or Surgery ; bitter in taste or difficult to survive but required to Live life disease free . Like A death to ego and past to bring regeneration. Like anger to bring calmness when expressed.
Like night necessary to welcome morning, like dark so that we appreciate the light we have . Like Wisdom So to get rid of ignorance.
Like Force of destruction or death required for new birth , and achieving sustainability.
So tonight Along with her shade as Dark as as night we celebrate the festival with color of peace as shades of purple and violet
ॐ देवी कालरात्र्यै नमः॥ ॐ देवी महासरस्वत्यै नमः॥

For every re-incarnation of kaalratri-the most terrorising form of Ma Durga, Raas is the fearless battle-ground where she brings death to the darkness, to the past traumas, and everything that is evil.
still don't understand how i can properly respect kanha as literal origin of everything ever but still say wassup bro to him in my head
having a bit of a philosophical/existential crisis...
I've always been a seeker of truth, a philosopher, sometimes beyond my own good. there comes a time when I don't know what to accept or follow as my truth.
Shri Keshav says in Bhagavad-Gita that he meets anyone where they want to meet him. but how am I meant to know in which form I want to meet him? is it Shri Krishna, Rama, or even those such as Lord Shiva, Jesus, etc. ?
I feel very much attached to Shri Krishna but how am I meant to reconcile the truth of absolutely everything, with the love for a Keshava who dances and enjoys and is merry among his sakhis and sakhas? how do I reconcile these identities. how do I reconcile the innumerable forms He takes for himself to approach all of us and touch our hearts, and choose the one that is for me? or is it simply just the form of the unknowable, infinite, Supreme being. but then how may I love him for his heart-pulling qualities and get personally attached to his form?
sry lol a bit diff to what I usually post...
(Aka the sequel)
1. Arjun is a high ranking navy officer, but later on retires, to travel the world and teach kids dance.
2. Yudhishthira now has his own civil firm, a joint venture with Draupadi, and he is respected for his honesty and kindness for others.
3. Bhima is a celebrity chef, with a chain of restaurants, still known as Bhima ka Chulha.
4. Nakul is an A lister model and actor, who is very famous among the general public for his genuine nature, and zero involvement in scandals.
5. Sahadeva is a neurosurgeon, and has started his own chain of hospitals, with Nakul being an investor.
6. Balaram remains a teacher, but a very famous one, because of his chain of schools which teach underprivileged kids for free. He has also entered politics as an analyst as of now.
7. Draupadi is a criminal lawyer, and joint head with Yudhishthira. She is known to never lose a single case, and always get justice delivered to the victims.
8. Subhadra has her own practice, aside from which she works in Sahadeva's hospital, and has free camps in even the most remote parts of India.
9. Krishna never joins a political party, he is an independent candidate, but the public loves him, for he is the only politician who has genuine love for the people, selfless love, where he doesn't want anything in return. He is in the run for Member of Parliament from Mathura though, will you vote for him?
radhe radhe! i think memes is a great idea!! defo for me having memes was an amazing way to connect, it made dharma feel lighter and less seriousss yk. also its just funny 😂 and for me i really connect to things through humour.
i think comics are a great idea too, I grew up reading amar chitra katha, watching cartoons like krishna,, I think they're a nice way to engage children or form a part of ppls childhoods.
personally I think sm of these things comes from one's own inner callings or interests. but what defo helped me connect the strongest was having a community like gopiblr where we could explore dharma or krishna together in a way that's super relatable for young people, and a safe space to explore hot takes outside what the elders teach us haha. I think applying tiktoks reels etc. to kanhu (like I and others have done 😅) is again a way to make young ppl see kanhu in a diff light to just someone their elders make a fuss about. other ones are fanfics and modern AUs, which defo makes things a lot more interactive haha.
omg what a coincidence this post encompasses a lot of diff things I wanted to talk abt anyway, but I also found this the other day!!!:
as someone who's loved anime (really just naruto tbh 😅) I just thought it was a really super cool way to present durga devi's story ahaha, and another medium that might reach young people. devi mata is so badass pls watch!!! (also in a similar fashion there's that post going around abt making a Disney movie abt durge! which they have to be really careful to do well, but if they do could be epic af.)
I think one thing very important is to not get too preachy. this is why I think the best ways involve communities, because they make space for exploration and for people of all opinions or relationships with the object/s of interest (in this case with the divine), and also a feeling that you're not 'alone' or 'weird' in your interests. it's a space to connect with similar people going through similar things as you, and you may even see your thoughts being voiced aloud by others which reallyyy makes u feel less alone.
tldr; it is finding ways in which people of the modern day connect to things, and try to replicate the same dharmically, and creating a community surrounding it where these things can be shared and consumed.
e.g. music: u can experiment with genres and apply this to bhajans as well e.g. bhajan lofis which are so good omg.
so yeah, this is my humble opinion. radhe radhe!! 💙✨️🦚
Gopis and gopas, a question Krishna made me think about -
If he says that it's our duty to spread the knowledge and gyana of our dharma to today's generation and present to them in a way that they find cool and interesting, how would you approach it ?
You can think of ways that you think we can do it and let me know :D
Some ways I thought of :
1. Creating cute comics of stories and scenarios of the stotras and present to them as a story, for example taking a bhagavat Gita line and turning it to a story in a way they understand
2. Creating a trend that knowing these stuff is the real cool thing instead of so much of other materialistic stuff
"Shakti, the mother power or divine energy, has many forms and symbols. All beauty and all ugliness flow from her. She is Lakshmi, the auspicious, bestower of boons and beauty. She is Saraswati, the giver of all wisdom and art. She is Tripurasundari, the most beauteous in the three worlds. But she is also Kaali, the destroyer, whose wrath ignites the storm, the thunder, and the lightning. She is Mahishasuramardini, killer of the demon Mahisha. She is Chandika, the terrible, who lets loose the typhoon, the flood, and the tidal wave."

"Comparing characters from different mythologies and fictional universes can be an interesting thought experiment, but it's important to remember that these are fictional entities with unique abilities and contexts.
Additionally, the outcome of such a hypothetical battle would largely depend on the interpretation and imagination of the storyteller or artist creating the scenario.
Godzilla is a well-known fictional giant monster originating from Japanese cinema, while Krishna is a revered deity in Hindu mythology.
Krishna is often depicted as a divine being with supernatural powers, wisdom, and the ability to wield cosmic forces.
In a fictional showdown, one could imagine various scenarios and outcomes, but it's essential to approach such discussions with an appreciation for the cultural and religious significance of these characters.
Comparing deities to fictional monsters can be sensitive and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
Ultimately, the "winner" of such a hypothetical battle would be a matter of creative interpretation rather than a definitive answer. "
It's more meaningful to explore the stories and cultural contexts surrounding these characters in their respective traditions.

"Write a short story about a battle between Krishna and godzilla from the perpective of paramahansa yogananda in which godzilla is defeated"
-Jonah
"In a realm where the boundaries between the material and the mystical intertwined, a colossal conflict loomed on the horizon. Paramahansa Yogananda, the revered yogi and spiritual master, found himself drawn into a celestial confrontation of unparalleled proportions.
Godzilla, a monstrous force of nature, had awakened from its deep slumber beneath the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
The ancient beast's rampage threatened to engulf the world in chaos, and its very presence shook the foundations of the Earth.
Cities crumbled, and humanity trembled in fear.
Krishna, the divine avatar of Vishnu, took notice of the turmoil.
Riding on his celestial chariot, he descended from the heavens to confront the colossal menace.
With his radiant blue skin and a transcendent aura that outshone the sun, Krishna emanated an aura of supreme divinity.
As Paramahansa Yogananda watched from a meditative state, he marveled at the clash of these titanic forces.
Godzilla unleashed torrents of destructive energy, belching fire and destruction with every step. Buildings crumbled, and the earth quaked under its colossal weight.
But Krishna, the embodiment of cosmic order and divine harmony, stood unwavering.
With a simple gesture, he raised his divine flute to his lips and began to play a celestial melody that resonated with the very essence of creation itself.
As the divine notes filled the air, a remarkable transformation began.
Godzilla, the symbol of destruction and chaos, started to slow down. Its fiery rage was quelled by the soothing music, and its movements grew sluggish.
Krishna's melody, filled with compassion and love, touched the heart of the beast. In the midst of the chaos, a spark of divine recognition flickered within Godzilla's eyes. It was as if the ancient creature remembered its place in the grand tapestry of existence.
With a final, heartfelt note, Krishna cast a radiant net of light that enveloped Godzilla.
The beast, once a harbinger of destruction, now embraced the divine grace.
Slowly, it began to transform into a force of renewal and rejuvenation.
Paramahansa Yogananda witnessed this astonishing metamorphosis as Godzilla was transformed into a guardian of the Earth, a symbol of balance and harmony.
The once-rampaging creature became a protector of nature, ensuring the delicate equilibrium of the planet.
As Krishna returned to the heavens, leaving behind a world forever changed, Yogananda realized the profound lesson in this celestial battle.
It was a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable chaos, divine grace and compassion had the power to transform destruction into creation.
In the heart of the conflict, the radiant spirit of Krishna had prevailed, showing that love, music, and the divine spark within all beings could overcome even the most formidable of challenges.
And so, the world continued on its cosmic journey, forever touched by the awe-inspiring battle between the divine and the monstrous."
