(My desperate and sad prayer.)
I…
I pray…
I pray for Israel.
I pray for Palestine.
I pray for all of us now.
And if you condemn me for taking sides,
or judge me for not taking sides,
then maybe you don’t understand
the depths of this love.
Because love itself is the prayer.
And the one who prays.
And the longing and the light.
And the darkness and the answer.
And so I pray for you too.
For all of your conflicting parts.
For all the children fighting within you.
And I pray for you to know
the Consciousness prior to identity.
I pray for you to know
the I Am itself.
Before I am a Palestinian.
Before I am an Israeli.
Before I am Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, or an atheist.
Before division itself.
Before any notion of God or her absence.
Before time.
Before all of this began.
Before the world,
the joy and the sorrow of living.
Before territory and history.
I am what you are.
I am your rage, your grief, your loneliness.
Your fear. Your vulnerable heart.
Your powerlessness. Your shaking.
And through these non-dual eyes,
perhaps we can finally love each other.
In spite of our beliefs.
In spite of our ancient rage and our lust for revenge.
In spite of religion.
In spite of what the holy books
tell us to think.
You are my brother.
My sister.
My child.
My mother.
My father.
I pray for love to permeate the world.
Before it’s too late.
I pray for awakening.
I pray for Palestine.
I pray for Israel.
Before it’s too late.
I pray for all the children.
All the babies.
All the mothers and fathers.
Sisters and brothers.
Friends and enemies.
I pray for the end of hostilities.
Before it’s too late.
I pray for all those who are scared right now.
I pray that my small, sad prayer helps in some way.
Even in some small way.
Even in some tiny way.
I pray for you.
I pray for me.
I pray for us.
I pray…
I…

Ninth day of Navratri
Maa Sidhdatri
सृष्टि के निर्माण से पूर्व रुद्र देव ने आदि पराशक्ति मां से प्रार्थना कर सृष्टि की रचना की प्रार्थना की। क्योंकि माता निरंकार थी, वे भोलेनाथ के बाएँ भाग में प्रकट हुईl शिव शंकर को उनका अर्धनारीश्वर स्वरूप यूं प्राप्त हुआ।
Maa Sidhdatri is the primordial Saakaar form of the Divine Feminine. She is dynamic energy as well as the source of every action and reaction.
there are days like today when I am overcome with the gratitude and awe stemming from the simple realisation that everything I have comes from others. everything I am has been influenced by others. someone made the clothes I’m wearing, and someone also wore them before me. someone made the food I’m eating and the ingredients I’m buying, and they were arranged on the store shelf by someone too, and someone wiped the floor I walked on to buy it. someone delivered my letters and hundred of strangers worked to make the movie I watched last night, and my memories are filled with people and things they made and feelings they made me feel, and when I die someone will dig the hole for my coffin, too, and someone will take care of my belongings. I am never alone and I exist thanks to thousands and thousands of strangers
HEY PRIYES
do you have any clue to where I can watch Radha Krishn from outside India ?
plss I heard 'tum prem ho' and like now I neeeed to see the show 😭😭🤌
Day three of Navratri
9 days, 9 Godesses
Day Three: Chandraghanta | चन्द्रघण्टा
Chandraghanta represents Parvati on her wedding day. Parvati was given this title by Mahadeva himself, due to her wish to have Chandra, the Moon God, adorn her forehead, as her Lord was adorned by the crescent moon upon his crown of matted locks, giving rise to his name Chandrashekhara.
Her fierce form is capable of destroying obstacles both on the inner path as well as the outside world. Her devotees easily achieve success in life. She bestows divine vision on them. Sometimes they hear divine fragrances and sounds.
Aum Devi Chandraghantaayai Namaha
ॐ देवी चन्द्रघण्टायै नमः
Jai Maa Durga 🔱
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
