#Ganesh Name Meaning

[moonchild033]

Excerpts from Old Astro Books💎🩵

(All the observations written below are excerpts from the old astrology book in Tamil called 'Jathaga Alangaram by Keeranur Natarajan'. There's another book with a similar name called 'Jataka Alankar' in Hindi & Sanskrit by Shri Ganesh, I thought one is the translated version of the other but it's not, THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT BOOKS, saying this to not cause any confusion)❤️

Let's get into this---

1. Ascendant Sign Identification🤍

If you don't know your birth time accurately, you can use this method with approximate birth timing to figure out the ascendant.🥳

Refer the chart on the approximate birth timing of your birthday, consider the moon sign as your lagna and look for your moon sign's ruler. If the moon sign's ruler is present in 1,4,5,7,9,10 houses when counted from the moon, if any of the signs in those houses happens to be showing as lagna in the chart, then the chart can be considered right for you with the correct ascendant. OR the 9th place from 7H (3H from moon) can also be the ascendant.💎

Ex.: Say ur moon sign is Libra, ur moon sign's ruler is venus, look where venus is placed, say if venus is in aries, then it means the moon sign's ruler is in 7H when counted from the moon, satisfying the first rule. Now see if the signs in 1,4,5,7,9,10 houses coincides with ur approx birth time, ie. in this case, if Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini or Cancer, any of this shows as the rising sign according to ur approx birth tym, that will be fixed as your accurate ascendant.💖

2. General Baby Gender Predictions🐣💛

(Note: Predicting the gender of a baby in the uterus is illegal in some countries, illegal or not, don't use this as a serious predictive method, this is ONLY for the purpose of astrology knowledge and nothing else! 😌)

Placements that can give more possibilities of conceiving a boy baby-

---Having many of these placements and having many of these in both partners chart should be considered, having one or two placements can have lesser possibilities---

🩵 Saturn in 1,3,5,7,9,11 houses

🩵 Waxing moon in female sign

🩵 D9 ascendant in female sign

🩵 Sun-Jupiter conjunction in male sign

🩵 Many planets in male sign, ascendant in male sign and planets aspecting the male sign ascendant

🩵 Sun-Moon conjunction in friendly or neutral male signs

Placements that can give more possibilities of conceiving a female baby-

🩷 Waxing moon and venus conjunction in ascendant (Asc being female sign)

🩷 Mars in 2,4,6,8,10,12 houses

🩷 Your birth time is during Moon hora of the day

🩷 Female planets in female signs in D1 present in 1,3,5,7,9,11 houses in D9

🩷 Sun, Mars, Mercury present in female signs, atleast two of them or all three

🩷Sun-Moon conjunction in friendly or neutral female signs

(For reference, Male signs - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius AND Female signs - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces)

3. Baby Gender Predictions by using Panchang 🤩

Look for the sunrise timing on the day of ur bday, if you're born on a male planet ruling day, from the sunrise timing to your birth time, count 1 & half hrs alternative, keeping the first one and half hr as male and 2nd one and half hr as female, 3rd as male and so on alternatively, do this counting from sunrise timing of your birthday to your respective birth time. When the count ends as male in your birth time, higher possibilities of conceiving male progeny and when the count ends as female at your birth time, more possibilities of female progeny. If you're born on a female planet ruling day, do the same but the alternative order is female and then male, ie. Count 1st one and half hour as female and next one and half hr as male and so on.🥰🥰

Male planet ruling days- Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 💚💚

Female planet ruling days- Monday and Friday🧡

**Wednesday is neutral but here it's considered as male planet ruling day ♥️♥️

4. Newborn's Ascendant and Directions 👶🏻

A baby's ascendant can tell the direction of the house, the hospital where it was born etc. The directions can mean the direction of the hospital from the house, the entry gate direction of the home where mom resided during pregnancy, the ward door direction and the direction the mom was facing while giving birth, the city where the birth occurred might be in that particular side of the state.🩵🩵

Capricorn and Leo rising - South

Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini rising- North

Taurus rising - West

Aquarius, Aries, Scorpio, Libra and Cancer rising - East

5. Baby's Placements and The Type of Home Mom Resided in During Pregnancy 🫠💝

💝 Mercury in 1H or aspects 1H- Mom could've been in a designer house, with advanced architectural beauty of that era than the neighborhood houses.💚😚

💝 Venus in 1H or aspects 1H- Mom was well pampered and lived in a house with products that were considered to be luxurious at that time.♥️🥰

💝 Saturn in 1H - Mom lived in ancestral home during pregnancy, a house that's been passed on by parents or grandparents.🧡✨

💝 Moon in 1H - Mom lived in newly constructed home.🩷🤩

💝 Sun in 1H - Mom lived in a house where it was surrounded by greenery, either the area is like that or the house had many trees/plants.💜🫀

OKAY let me throw in some randoms now ✍🏻✨

⭐Who is stronger than who? (Planet version in ascending order)🥳

Mercury< Mars< Saturn< Jupiter< Venus< Moon< Sun< Rahu/Ketu (NN/SN)💥

⭐The Panchabootha elements of the Planets:

Earth- Mars 🌍

Water- Venus 💧

Fire- Jupiter 🔥

Air- Mercury 🌬️

Sky- Saturn ☁️

Okay so I just started the book recently, the literature type of text is rotting my brain 🤠 I've really put in much work to read it many times until I can understand and trying to write it in an easy way 🫠. Since I haven't read much (it's 600+ pages), this will be the first post from what I've read. Hope you all liked it! 🥰

Do you want me to continue this as a series? Lmk in comments!!! 🩷

(Also if someone finds a proper English translated version of this same book, post the book details and tag me too, I will reblog, let ppl who r interested get benefitted from it 🤗🤗)

Dancing Ganesha ॐ Talon Abraxas

Ganesha is the formless Divinity - encapsulated in a magnificent form, for the benefit of the devotee. As per Hindu mythology, he is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is also known as Ganapati, Vinayak, Vighnaraja, Vighnaharta and many more to name a few.

The Meaning of Ganesha

Gan means group. The universe is a group of atoms and different energies. This universe would be in chaos if there was no supreme law governing these diverse groups of entities.

The Lord of all these groups of atoms and energies is Ganesha.

He is the supreme consciousness that pervades all and brings order in this universe.

Bro if Brahma came out of the lotus in Vishnu's belly button, does that mean Brahma can be considered Vishnu's "offspring"? o_O

Also the story of the origins are so contrasting yk. Shiva Purana says Shiva came first, and Vishnu came out of his left side, while Vishnu Purana says vice vera. Shakti Purana says Adi Shakti came first, and the rest came out of her.

TBH, I feel like ppl mostly associate Shiva to be the first one, since yk, he is called Swayambhu. IK, the name is also associated with Vishnu too, but Shiva is called Swayambhu in so many mantras and stotras etc etc. LOL SO CONFUSING OMG

I have heard some ppl have the theory that each of these realities happened, but in different Yuga Kalpas which is...also interesting. hm. I low-key like the Smarta tradition tho, since they consider Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti, Ganesh and Surya to be equal.

Lmao Swayambhu is mostly considered with Shiva or Vishnu but sometimes Brahma too

Also there are so many varieties in the origins but Adi Shakti is the one idc 🗿🗿✨ (im a Shakta so yeah whatever she's the Brahman herself) Narayan is an avatar of Shakti 🗿🗿✨✨✨

But yeah I do believe in the each Kalpa takes place in each Purana factor too because that makes more sense to why we got so many different variations of the same myth too

Also sometimes Brahma IS considered Vishnu's offspring no???

Smartas are so interesting because the Saurya (ig that's what you call them...) cult just randomly became so unpopular like 😭😭🤌🤌🤌

Same with the Ganpati one and even Rig Veda Indra

Like they were once considered supreme and now it's either just Shiva, Vishnu or Shakti (but Shakti is supreme 🗿✨)

[h0bg0blin-meat]

Hey Meat! Currently combing through Matt Clayton’s Hindu Mythology: A Captivating Guide to Hindu Myths, Hindu Gods, and Hindu Goddesses and I was wondering if you could give like a little introduction to the main concepts/gods/goddesses? I’m seeing many terms like “the Veedas” and “the Shastras” as I go through it and I’m picking up context clues and I could probably google them but I’d like to hear from actual people and especially those who know and care deeply about these Myths (like you <3). So… can you help me? /gen

Heyyy Neptune! First of all I apologize it took me so long to answer you dfnsfjfdjg forgive meeee

I love how ardently you're researching Hinduism. I haven't really read his book, but I'll help you with giving you an overview of it, so to speak.

Firstly lemme tell you about the Vedic knowledge system, which consists of:

Vedas

Vedangas

Upavedas

Vedas: These are the oldest known scriptures of Hinduism. The religion has four Vedas, namely the:

Rig Veda (RV): book of hymns to the deities.

Yajur Veda (YV): book of mantras and worship rituals

Sama Veda (SV): book of chanting songs

Atharva Veda (AV): book of procedures of everyday life

Each of them have four subdivisions:

Samhitas (mantras, hymns, prayers and benedictions)

Brahmanas (explanations and instructions on performing Vedic rituals)

Aranyakas (texts on the meaning and symbolisms of rituals and ceremonies basically). They were mainly composed by sages who meditated in the wilderness, hence the name of the texts (aranya means forest in Sanskrit).

Upanishads (texts on meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge)

Upasanas (additional). These are texts on worship.

Vedangas: These are the six auxiliary disciplines of Hinduism, and are heavily linked to the Vedas. They are:

Shiksha: Study of phonetics

Vyakarana: Study of grammar

Chhandas: Study of poetic metres and rhythm

Niruktas: Study of etymology

Jyotishya: Study of astrology and astronomy

Kalpa: Study of rituals and guide to ritual instructions

Upavedas: These are texts regarding certain fields of work like:

Ayur Veda: Study of medicine and life sciences

Gandharva Veda: Study of music, art and dance

Dhanur Veda: Study of archery and warfare

Arthashastra: Study of business and administration

Speaking of Shastras, they are kinda similar to Upavedas, and deal with certain fields of knowledge, like we saw in the case of Arthashastra. There are many shastras:

Bhautikashastra - Study of physics

Rasashastra - Study of chemistry

Jivashastra - Study of biology

Vastushastra - Study of architectural science

Shilpashastra - Study of mechanical arts and sculpture

Nitishastra - Corpus on ethics and policies

Alamkarashastra - Study of rhetorics

Kavyashastra - Study of poetics

Sangitashastra - Study of music

Natyashastra - Study of theatre and dance

Yogashastra - contains instructions and teachings on yoga

Mokshashastra - contains instructions and teachings on moksha

Nyayashastra - contains instructions and teachings on justice, laws and judgement

Dharmashastra - contains instructions and teachings on dharma

Kamashastra - contains instructions and teachings on love, desire and pleasure.

And so on.

Then we have the Puranas, which are texts on various topics, usually legends and lores. A few examples are:

Brahma Purana

Vishnu Purana

Matsya Purana

Kalika Purana

Vamana Purana

Shiva Purana

Agni Purana

Bhagavata Purana

And so on. The latest Purana ever written was the Kalki Purana, which was around 400-600 years ago. It is believed that Ved Vyasa (the author* of the epic Mahabharata) composed all these Puranas as well. But many disagree.

*some believe Ved Vyas got Ganesh (the God of wisdom, success and remover of obstacles, and the son of Shiva) to write the Mahabharata for him. While some believe Ved Vyas wrote it himself.

Then we have the Sutras which are aphoristic (concise expression of a general truth/principle) texts. Some examples are:

Brahma Sutras

Yoga Sutras

Nyaya Sutras

Kama Sutra

and so on.

Then comes Itihasa (historical texts), which include the two major epics of Hinduism, namely:

Ramayana (composed by Valmiki)

Mahabharata (composed my Vyasa/Ganesh)

Read the epics I'll not spoil it for ya heehee

Now, for the Gods. Oh man there are so many, but not 33 crore (1 crore = 10 million), contrary to popular belief, but rather 33 types.

In the very beginning of the pantheon, the main Gods were:

Indra (god of thunder and rain and the King of Gods)

Agni (god of fire)

Mitra (god of friendship, sun, daylight)

Varuna (god of waters, oceans, night time)

Vayu (wind god)

Soma (wind god, also sometimes called the moon god)

Ushas (goddess of dawn)

Ashwins (twin solar gods of medicine and sons of Surya)

Surya (Sun god)

Rudra (another wind/storm god who later became another form of Shiva)

Vishnu (bro doesn't have any specific assigned field tbh)

And a few others like Brihaspati (Jupiter god), Pushan (solar god of meetings, marriages, roads and cattle), Savitr (god of speed and cosmos) and many others.

Now there was this supreme vague deity in the Vedas. It's not Brahman yet. They (for the lack of a better set of pronouns) appear later. But it is some kind of supernatural force that let to the creation of this universe, and was initially mostly referred to as Prajapati (sometimes it wasn't one being though, rather a group), from what I can infer. Some may even called em Purusha. In the link you'll also get the First Creation Myth of Hinduism.

There is also an agnostic section in the Rig Veda, known as the Nasadiya Sukta. In this specific section we know there's some form of a supreme deity, but it's very vague as to what it is.

Moving on, in around mid-Vedic period, Vishnu became heavily popular, and two new deities came into being, namely Brahma (who soon got the title of Prajapati) and Shiva (from Rudra because previously Rudra had an alternative name called Siva. So Ig that's where 'Shiva' stemmed from. But again not sure).

Vishnu and Shiva became extremely popular, to the point that they got an entire sect of people dedicated to each of em, hence Vaishnavism and Shaivism (respectively) were born. Vaishnavs heralded Vishnu to be the Supreme God, while Shaivites heralded Shiva to be the Supreme God. (Soon Harihar or Vishnu-Shiva sect also emerged where both the Gods were considered the same, and hence both were the Supreme Gods, or Supreme God, if we consider them one entity) But in the future we can see Vaishnavism took over the spotlight, and finally during the age of the epics, Sanatan Dharma was born, which eventually became synonymous with Hinduism, and now almost everyone considers Vishnu is the Supreme Lord (while many others consider it to be the Brahman, who Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma are a part of).

Vishnu actually gained the most popularity from the two epics that I've mentioned, and the first one is almost entirely surrounded around his avatar, Ram (yes he has avatars now). His most popular avatars include Ram and Krishna, and the latter has an entire organization dedicated to him (ISKON or International Society for Krishna Consciousness), and this org considers THIS avatar as the Supreme Lord, and actually considers Vishnu as his avatar, not the other way around. Krishna also appears in the famous Bhagavad Gita, which is the prime philosophy book of guidelines for the Hindus today.

Buckle up, it's about to get more confusing cuz now Vishnu is our main character for a while (bro has HEAVILY influenced this religion atp there's no turning back for him now). His evolution is so interesting cuz who'd have thought in the Rig Vedic times that he'd grow up to be THIS popular TOT. Not Indra for sure xD.

Anyhoo so about Vishnu's avatars. He has ten main avatars that appear through the cycle of Hindu Yugas (eras):

Matsya: Big fishiee. Some paintings portray him as a merman tho.

Kurma: Giant tortoise go brrr.

Varaha: A boar-man :D. Pumba's gunna vibe with him fs.

Narasimha: Very angy lion-man. Will be besties with Sekhmet in a heartbeat i just know it.

Vamana: Cute "lil" dwarf (covered the universe in three steps)

Parshurama: Appears in the Mahabharata

Rama: Main character of Ramayana (hence the name), and is the younger brother of Balarama.

Krishna: One of the main characters of the Mahabharata

Balarama/Buddha (sources vary)

Kalki (future avatar)

Now Mohini is the female form of Vishnu. Whether or not she counts as an avatar is debated. She's the goddess of beauty and a seductress that lures bad guys (mostly Asuras) and then kills them, or atleast teaches them a lesson (but she also attracts the devas sometimes. Shiva for example). So yeah.

His wife is Lakshmi, who's the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, beauty, fertility and prosperity. She also has avatars btw.

Now the Second Creation Myth is pretty messy. Different sects have different takes on it. Usually it is considered that:

Brahma created the universe (or universes in case of the multiverse version).

Vishnu preserves the universe

Shiva destroys the universe

This process is considered cyclic and after the destruction Brahma creates a new universe, and it keeps repeating.

The origin of these three gods are also debated. Some say Brahma created Vishnu and Shiva, some say Vishnu created Brahma and Shiva, some say Lakshmi created Brahma, some say Shiva created Brahma and Vishnu. Some say Vishnu and Shiva are two of the Adityas (comprising of Indra, Agni, Mitra, Varuna, Surya etc.), and hence the children of Kashyap and Aditi.

Quick desc of Shiva is that he's the god of destruction, rebirth, time, benevolence etc. He also has avatars, plus a female form, called Shivani. His wife is Parvati, who ALSO has avatars, primarily Kali, Durya, Gauri etc. Sometimes Parvati and Lakshmi's avatars overlap. Sometimes, Vishnu and Parvati's avatars overlap (like Krishna-Kali).

He and his wife have two sons- Ganesha (god of wisdom, beginnings, remover of obstacles etc.), and Kartikeya/Murugun/Skanda (god of war). Who's the elder one is debated but usually Kartikeya is considered older.

Also Brahma's wife is Saraswati (goddess of wisdom, knowledge, music, flowing water, abundance etc.), who was born from him. Bro has faced some issues with falling for ppl (women) he has created actually lol, which is why he was cursed by Shiva and even lost one of his heads, hence ending up with four heads, when he initially had five. Check this site out as to why he was cancelled by Mahadev (another name of Shiva).

Now we have two Holy Trinities:

Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (However, Vishnu and Shiva are way closer to Indra, while Brahma's kinda like the dad of the group, yk)

Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati

Then we have the Devas and the Asuras, who can be compared to the Aesir and Vanir, in a way. The Devas are usually the benevolent one, who attained the amrit (elixir), while the Asuras are usually the antagonists. But tbh, in my opinion, both of these groups are morally grey as fock.

Parents of Devas (Rishi/sage Kashyapa and Aditi)

Parents of Asuras (Rishi/sage Kashyapa and Diti)

Diti and Aditi and daughters of king Daksha (one of the Prajapatis). The reason the Asuras turned out the way they did was cuz Diti approached Kashyap at an unholy hour, to put it shortly. Sources say she was also jealous of how Aditi's kids turned out, which might be another factor to how her kids turned out in turn (lot of 'turn's we're getting ahah)

They are described well in the Samudra Manthan, from the Vishnu Purana. Have a look.

Now see, this stark contrast between the Devas and the Asuras didn't quite exist back in the earliest Rig-Vedic period. In fact, some of the most prominent Devas were referred to as Asuras in the Rig Veda, most famously Varuna, who was actually referred to as the leader of the Asuras/Asuryas. Other Devas who got referred to as Asuras include Indra, Agni, Mitra, and a few others. So I have a feeling the concept of the modern-day Asuras didn't quite exist back then.

Now for the concepts of Hinduism, like Moksha, Dharma etc., I think I'll refer to actual practising Hindus to explain it to you, since they'd be able to explain them in a much better way. They can also add to my explanations of things, or correct me if I explained anything wrong. So I'mma tag em.

@kaal-naagin @zeherili-ankhein @inc0rrectmyths @randomx123 @ssj2hindudude @blue-lotus333 (idk if you're a Hindu but you still know a lot so) and anyone else who wanna join.

"Desh TB-mukt nahi hoga, aadmi mukt ho jayega 2025 se pehle"

After receiving several reports from patients, state officials, and civil society groups, the Union government asked the state governments to procure drugs on their own from April this year.

Bihar State TB control officer B.K. Mishra said the directive came “almost, all of a sudden.”

“We never procured TB drugs before because we never felt the need for it [as the Union government used to supply it earlier],” he said.

“We have placed an order with the company concerned for Cycloserine. But there is a delay in the supply…we are regularly following up with the company,” he added.

Mishra also said that the districts have been directed to purchase the drugs from the local medical stores but that is also fraught with uncertainties. “We are not sure about the quality of drugs available with the medical stores. And now, if we enter into the domain of prequalification [testing before supply], it would lead to further delay,” he said.

Another state TB officer from one of the states listed above described the situation as “frustrating”.

“My hands are tied in terms of the maximum amount of medicines I can purchase. If I have to go beyond that limit, the file has to move several desks, which obviously means further delay in procurement and supply,” the officer added. The officer didn’t want to be named as he wasn’t authorised to speak to the media.

Ganesh Acharya, a TB survivor, also pointed out in his letter to the Union Health Minister that there are potential flaws and problems in the state procurement process.

“Decentralised procurement of this kind is especially challenging for states with a smaller number of TB-affected people, limiting their power to negotiate on quantity, price, and delivery timelines,” it read.

The Symbolism of Ganesha

Who is Lord Ganesh?

Ganesha is the formless Divinity - encapsulated in a magnificent form, for the benefit of the devotee. As per Hindu mythology, he is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is also known as Ganapati, Vinayak, Vighnaraja, Vighnaharta and many more to name a few.

The Meaning of Ganesha

Gan means group. The universe is a group of atoms and different energies. This universe would be in chaos if there was no supreme law governing these diverse groups of entities.

The Lord of all these groups of atoms and energies is Ganesha.

He is the supreme consciousness that pervades all and brings order in this universe.

The Essence of Lord Ganesha

The essence of Ganesha / Ganapati and is brought out beautifully by Adi Shankara.

Though Ganesha is worshipped as the elephant-headed God, the form (swaroop) is just to bring out the formless (parabrahma roopa).

He is, 'Ajam Nirvikalpam Niraakaaramekam.' This means Ganesha is Ajam (unborn), he is Nirvikalpa(attributeless), he is Niraakaar (formless) ganesha symbolism represents the consciousness which is omnipresent.

Ganesha is the same energy which is the reason for this universe. It is the energy from which everything manifests and into which everything will dissolve.

Sri Ganesha! Jai Ganesha!

If It Was My Choice

read on Ao3

words: 3980

“I don’t expect you to stay with me,” Chloe continued calmly, “but I can’t leave her.” Nadine scoffed. “You barely know her.” She shook her head, gazing down at Meenu as she slept, her face still shining with tears, her breaths coming in soft congested puffs, her hand curled around the Ganesh pin. “Yes, I do,” she murmured. “She’s me.”

--

“Ugh, I can’t wait to get out of this jungle. I’m gonna take the longest shower of my life,” Sam groaned, rolling his shoulders slowly.

“Why wait?” Nadine asked, barely hiding her grin. “There’s a perfectly good river down there. God knows you need it.”

“Oh, ha, ha. You spend a few days with Chloe and suddenly you’re a comedian.” Casting a fake annoyed glance over at Chloe, he shook his head. “Unbelievable.”

Chloe smiled, genuinely, just taking in the moment as they walked. Leave it to several near-death experiences to ensure the two people who hated each other yesterday could at least tolerate each other today. 

While they walked, Nadine held the Tusk carefully, watching it sparkle in the setting sun. “So, what’s first for you, then, Chloe? I hope you say ‘shower’ too.”

“For your information, I smell like roses,” she insisted, feigning hurt. “But no. Actually, I have a promise to keep.”

Sam and Nadine both glanced at her. She smiled.

***

The marketplace was bustling, this time with less of a nervous energy than the last time she was here. Some of the passersby watched the three of them as they stepped through the crowd, no doubt looking at their still-fresh wounds.

No one stopped them, though, and Chloe came upon the small shop she had visited before. Slowly, she stepped inside, surprised to find it seemingly empty. A bad feeling settled in the pit of her stomach, for a moment. Just because Asav was gone, it didn’t mean all the danger would have disappeared with him.

Suddenly, an excited voice filled the air. “You’re back!”

Chloe turned, finding the little girl she had met all those days ago, standing by the opposite entrance to the tent. She wore a huge smile, like she wasn’t actually expecting her to return. She rushed forward, her eyes sparkling.

“Ah, well, we made a deal, didn’t we?” Chloe asked nonchalantly, not bothering to hide the smile in return. “It’s good to see you again, kid. And, ah, look. My friend…s.” She gestured to Nadine and Sam, who were staring with a sort of shocked look on their faces.

“You found them!” she exclaimed, positively giddy. “So getting on that truck helped you!”

Chloe smiled softly. “That’s right. And it’s all thanks to you.”

The kid beamed proudly, looking up at Nadine. “My name is Meenu. I like your hair.”

“Oh. Thank you.” Nadine blinked, perhaps a bit stiffly. Chloe supposed it didn’t surprise her very much that Nadine wasn’t quite sure how to talk to children. “I’m Nadine. It’s nice to meet you.”

Sam shifted his weight, seemingly about to burst with questions, but decided instead to crouch down to Meenu’s level. “Now, what have we got here?” he asked, leaning forward. He placed a hand beside her ear, and when he pulled his hand back, he was holding a small bill. “Ah! Rupees behind your ear!”

“That was terrible,” Meenu giggled, reaching up to snatch the bill from him, which he let happen. “I know it was hiding in your hand.”

“You still liked it,” Sam insisted with a grin, standing up. “I’m Sam. Now what’s this deal Chloe’s been going on about?”

Lighting up again, Meenu stuffed the bill into her pocket, looking expectantly up at Chloe. “Pizza!”

“That’s right, kid. A deal’s a deal, and I’m starving.”

“Wait. You are bleeding.” Meenu pointed at Chloe’s right bicep. Her left arm was sticky with dried blood, but her right arm was still slowly bleeding, the gash much deeper than she had realized. “And you are too!” She pointed up at the spot above Nadine’s right eyebrow.

“Ah. So we are.” Chloe sighed. “I don’t suppose you have any bandages?”

Meenu grinned slyly. “For four hundred rupees.”

“Man, she’s good,” Sam mused quietly. Nadine smirked, perhaps at the look on Chloe’s face.

“Can’t I get that half price?” Chloe asked, placing her hands on her hips. “I am buying dinner, after all.”

Giggling, Meenu darted into the back room, returning a moment later with a box. “Sit down.” Knowing better than to argue, Chloe sat on the floor, and the girl opened the box, fishing through it, seemingly not actually interested in taking more money from them, at least at the moment.

As she pulled out an antiseptic and roll of bandages, Nadine raised a brow. “Now, where did you learn how to dress wounds?”

“My father,” she answered proudly. “He taught me how, so that when he comes back from fighting the rebels, we can help people who need it.”

Chloe pretended not to feel Sam and Nadine’s stares. She smiled, watching the girl work. “You’re pretty remarkable, Meenu.”

A soft blush rose to her cheeks as she continued wrapping her arm, trying to hide her smile as she did so. After a few moments, she sat back. “There!”

Flexing her arm, Chloe nodded approvingly. “Perfect. It’ll be all fixed up before I know it. Alright, Nadine, your turn. Sam, let’s go get that pizza.”

“But -”

“Ah, ah. No more crappy magic tricks. Let’s let the kid do her thing, yeah?” 

Grumbling to himself, Sam didn’t argue further as Nadine took a seat on the floor, looking quite uncomfortable with the situation. Chloe sent her an enthusiastic thumbs-up, and together, she and Sam set out.

***

An hour or so later, they sat out by the docks, listening to Meenu’s radio, eating a surprisingly good pizza. Sam, his hand now bandaged, insisting that he agreed about taking the moral high ground with the Tusk, but begging they at least get something out of it. He hadn’t touched any pizza yet, and he was yammering on while Chloe and Nadine simply ignored him.

Eventually, Meenu picked up an extra slice, holding it out to him expectantly. “Don’t ruin the moment.”

Grumbling something under his breath, Sam surprisingly didn’t say any more on the matter and took the slice from the kid, angrily taking a bite. Immediately, his face changed to one of quiet surprise, like he hadn’t been expecting it to be good.

But after days of not eating anything, how could it be anything else?

Once the box was empty, Meenu hopped to her feet, looking between the three of them. “Will you stay here tonight?” she asked, hopefulness lacing her tone. “I told you I have a spare bed! Three hundred rupees!”

Chloe glanced at Nadine, who met her gaze. Her eyes were their usual determined brown, like she’d follow whatever decision she made. Sam didn’t quite have that look, but he shrugged a shoulder.

“Alright, kid. Just for the night, ‘kay? We’ve got to figure out how we’re getting back home.” Chloe reached forward, ruffling her hair gently.

Really, she would have preferred doing it tonight, but her heart ached for this child, running a store much too big for her, begging a woman she just met for company, putting herself in danger for that woman. The least they could do was be there, and hope that her father would return soon.

Though, with each passing hour, she was beginning to feel less and less optimistic.

Not much time later, the four of them stood in the tiny room in the back. There were two beds, one in each of the furthest corners. One was covered with colorful blankets, hastily unmade. The other was so plain it was almost sad to compare the two, with a simple, thin white blanket on top of the mattress. 

“Now that you’re back,” Meenu mused, somewhat mischievously as she glanced at Chloe, “can you tell me about your adventure?”

“Oh, dear, I’m afraid that wasn’t part of the deal,” Chloe replied dramatically.

“We’ll tell you if you give us a hundred rupees,” Nadine added, nudging Chloe’s shoulder.

Meenu smirked, shaking her head as she stepped up to Sam. “How about you, hm? Will you tell me?”

“I don’t know, kid…I’m not much of a storyteller. Definitely not for free.” He paused, then knelt down to her level. “But, there was this car. Chloe was a terrible driver, really, she should have let me take the wheel. Here, hop on, I’ll show you.” 

She looked at him skeptically for a moment, then up at Chloe and Nadine, who were both trying not to laugh. Meenu hopped onto Sam’s back, her slim arms clasping around his neck as he stood up like she weighed nothing. 

“Aha, here we are, riding through the jungle. Whitewater!” He jostled her to the side as he walked around, and she shrieked with laughter, holding on tighter.

Nadine leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest. “Didn’t take him to be good with kids,” she said, perhaps a little surprised.

Chloe stepped back to stand beside her, sticking her hands into her pockets as they watched the two of them play. “Me neither,” she replied honestly, “but he’s got the mind of one, anyway.”

Chuckling, Nadine turned her gaze to Chloe, her eyes roving up and down as if to give her a once-over. “Are you okay?”

“Well, yes, thanks to Meenu here, I’m all patched up,” she joked, very much aware that that was not what her friend was asking about. At the look on Nadine’s face, she sighed, moving just a little closer, lowering her voice. “This child’s father volunteered to go fight. He left her here, all alone.”

“And it…reminds you of your father, does it?”

Chloe had been thinking that, of course, but hearing it aloud sort of felt like a punch in the face. “Well, yes. A little.”

“And then, crash!” Sam tossed Meenu onto the colorful bed, who was dissolving into a fit of laughter. “Hit a tree. I mean, honestly, terrible skills behind the wheel.”

“Oi, Meenu, don’t you believe this man’s lies,” Chloe exclaimed, pointing at him with an amused smile on her face. “I did nothing of the sort.”

Scoffing, Nadine stepped forward. “Maybe not trees, but plenty of rocks. And tree roots. And old ruins. And rushing water. And -”

“Okay, okay! We get it!”

***

The next morning, Chloe woke up with a terrible ache in her neck.

Early morning light peeked through the gaps in the tent, quiet birds tweeting somewhere far away. She was sitting on the colorful bed, her head leaned back against the wall, and something warm beside her. When she glanced down, she found Meenu, her cheek squished up against Chloe’s arm, breaths coming in soft puffs through her slightly open mouth. Despite herself, Chloe smiled, reaching with her other hand to gently move some of the hair from her face. She was a cute kid, she’d give her that.

Chloe lifted her gaze, and on her opposite side, Nadine was sitting right beside her, their shoulders touching, her arms folded over her chest as she slept. She didn’t think she’d ever seen her so relaxed. The way the warm light caressed her cheeks made Chloe think she looked like an angel. She always thought she was pretty, but now, when she was sure Nadine wouldn’t punch her for it, she felt her heart do a somersault in her chest.

Across the room, Sam was sprawled out on the other bed, snoring quietly. It took Chloe a moment to realize that there was a white blanket placed over their laps, which was definitely taken from Sam’s bed. He must have covered them with it.

For as much as he said he didn’t care, he sure seemed to have a kind heart.

She glanced toward the entrance to the store, glad to see it was probably still too early for any potential customers. Just as she was thinking about her conversation with Nadine the night before, a young man burst through the opening in the tent, dressed in uniform and looking a mixture of nervous and surprised at the amount of people in the room.

“Oh. Um, good morning,” he said in Hindi as he met Chloe’s gaze for a moment. His voice immediately woke Nadine, who was on her feet and pumped full of adrenaline in seconds. The man held his hands up in a surrender motion, and, perhaps seeing how young and scared he looked, Nadine huffed and took a step back. The man took this as his opportunity to continue. “I am…looking…” Seeing that the women weren’t locals, and didn’t understand him, he lowered his hand, holding it parallel to the floor about hip length.

As if on cue, Meenu sat up slowly, rubbing at her eyes. She squinted at the soldier, who looked rather relieved to see the person he was looking for, and slid out of bed. She asked him a question in Hindi that Chloe couldn’t translate, and he asked a question in turn. She nodded, then glanced at Nadine and Chloe. “This man fights rebels with my father,” she explained, smiling a little. “I’ll be right back.”

Meenu stepped out of the tent with the soldier, and Nadine’s shoulders sagged a little. She picked up a nearby pillow and threw it at Sam, who immediately sat up in a panic. “Ow! What the hell? What was that for?!”

“Wake up,” Nadine replied boredly, turning to Chloe who moved to stand, still staring at the opening in the tent. “The kid’s out with a soldier right now.”

“I have a terrible feeling about it,” Chloe murmured, wondering why it felt like her heart was in her throat. 

Nadine turned, her eyes softening as she took a step closer to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. “She’ll be okay,” she insisted. “That boy won’t hurt her. Especially not with us right here.”

Smiling wryly, Chloe shook her head. “That’s not what I’m worried about.”

Sam stood up, stretching his arms above his head with a quiet groan. “Maybe her dad’s coming back. So we can start thinking about how we’re gonna -”

A loud yell from outside cut him off. Without thinking much of it, Chloe immediately found herself running. Outside of the tent, Meenu was shouting in frantic Hindi, trying desperately to punch and kick the soldier, who was standing rather rigidly. Much to Chloe’s surprise, in the morning sunlight, Meenu’s face glistened with tears.

“Whoa, whoa,” she exclaimed, kneeling down beside the child, “why are we hitting the nice man, hm?”

Wide, tearful eyes met hers, and she stopped attacking for a moment, clearly surprised to find that Chloe had followed her. “He…” She choked on a sob, stumbling over her words. “He said…m-my father is gone…”

The soldier, probably not much older than eighteen, clenched his jaw. Chloe exhaled slowly, then turned to look back at the Meenu, feeling her heart ache. She remembered this so clearly. She had been this girl once, and she remembered that feeling so vividly. Her heart ached. Sam and Nadine emerged from the tent, silently taking in the scene before them.

“I know this isn’t what you want to hear,” Chloe said softly, “but this man isn’t the bad guy, okay? So let’s see what else he has to say. I’m right here with you.”

Tearfully, Meenu’s gaze searched Chloe’s face, as if looking for answers. Then her gaze lifted to see Nadine and Sam, and the sight of the three of them seemed to embolden her. She sniffled and looked up at the soldier. Through a broken voice, Meenu asked him something in Hindi.

With a shaky hand, the soldier pulled something from his pocket and knelt down to Meenu’s level, holding it out to her. It was a small gold pin that Chloe immediately recognized as Ganesh. Meenu’s eyes widened in surprise.

The soldier said something. Chloe was able to piece together the words ‘found’ and ‘hat.’ He continued talking while Meenu gently took the Ganesh pin from the man, holding it in both hands while her shoulders shook. The man saluted, turned, and walked off.

Nobody seemed to move for hours, until finally, Meenu looked up, tears streaming down her face. Her hair was coming loose from its ponytail, wispy, dirty strands framing her face, her eyes already completely bloodshot. Her hand curled around the pin. “Chloe,” she choked, seemingly unable to string her thoughts together. “He is…”

Chloe couldn’t stand the sight anymore. She reached forward, pulling the kid into a gentle hug. Almost immediately, Meenu latched onto her, holding on tight while her small body shook with emotions that should have been much too big for her. “There, there,” Chloe murmured, glancing over her shoulder at Sam and Nadine, who were still watching with set jaws and shocked eyes.

“What will I do?” Meenu suddenly cried, tightening her grip on Chloe’s shoulder. 

Instinctively, Chloe tightened her hold, too. She pressed her lips together, then gently pulled the girl back, reaching up to tuck some of the loose hair behind her ear. “I told you when we met, if it was my choice, I wouldn’t leave you here alone.” She tried to smile, moving her hand back to her shoulder. “We’ll figure something out, okay?”

Somehow, Meenu managed a watery smile. This kid was strong as iron, Chloe thought, as she stood up and offered her hand to her. Meenu’s hand curled around Chloe’s, and together, they walked back toward the tent. Chloe made eye contact with Nadine, shaking her head slightly. 

Nadine pressed her lips together. Sam had nothing smart to say.

***

“I’m staying with her.”

The room had been silent for about an hour, no one daring to speak while the girl continued to cry. Chloe was the first to break it when she was certain that Meenu had fallen asleep, pulling the blankets over her gently.

“What?” Nadine immediately spoke, the word short and sharp and angry. Chloe turned around, meeting her familiar, fiery gaze.

“I don’t expect you to stay with me,” she continued calmly, “but I can’t leave her.”

Nadine scoffed. “You barely know her.”

Chloe shook her head, gazing down at the little girl, her face still shining with tears, her breaths coming in soft congested puffs, her hand still curled around the Ganesh pin. “Yes, I do,” she murmured. “She’s me.”

The words hung heavy in the air. Quiet steps seemed to echo in her ears as Nadine came closer, peering down at the girl. “...This was how it felt for you, yeah?”

“Yeah.” She sniffled, lifting her gaze to Nadine. “At least I had someone else. I had my mother. Meenu has no one. Within days, I’m sure she will be taken into the system.”

“Don’t you think it will be better that way?”

“Maybe. But the system is just as terrible here as it is everywhere else. She won’t find a family, not with the city still torn apart by the war.”

For the first time since they’d met, Nadine seemed lost. Her voice was uncharacteristically quiet. “…We were going to be partners.”

Without really thinking, Chloe took one of Nadine’s hands. “We still can be,” she insisted, “stay here with me. The kid’s got decent technique, with a little practice we can still find treasure together.”

Before Nadine could reply, Sam entered the room again, having taken a step out to have a cigarette. He looked at them, then their hands as the two of them hastily let go. He cleared his throat. “Some more soldiers came by. One of ‘em spoke English, told me they’re gonna have to shut down this shop.”

“What?” Chloe blinked. “Why?”

“Payments are behind. And they know the kid’s on her own now. I think they’re gonna come by tomorrow morning to take her to the nearest orphanage.”

“I don’t want to go!”

Surprised, they turned to see Meenu sitting up in bed, unsure of how much she’d heard. She hopped to her feet, looking between the three of them with a desperation on her face they’d never seen before.

Before Chloe could say anything, Nadine sighed softly, shaking her head. “We’re not gonna let them take you, kid.”

“That’s right,” Sam agreed, perhaps a little more enthusiastically than Chloe was expecting. “You deserve better than an orphanage.”

Meenu’s shoulders relaxed as she ran at Nadine, hugging her legs. Nadine stiffened in surprise, seemingly forcing herself to move in some way, patting the girl’s head lightly.

“Meenu,” Chloe prompted quietly, “I’m not sure we’ll be able to keep the shop.”

Slowly, she pulled away from Nadine, rubbing one of her eyes. “...That is alright. I never really got many customers anyway.” She looked up at Chloe expectantly. “Did you mean what you said? Will you take me treasure hunting?”

Taken aback, Chloe blinked, then knelt down to her level. “After some practice,” she replied, smiling a little as she poked her nose. “But you know that means we won’t always be able to stay in India.”

“Okay.”

Chloe stood up, and much to her surprise, Nadine stepped closer, their shoulders almost touching. “I will teach you how to fight.”

“I’ll teach ya how to smoke,” Sam added, but when Nadine and Chloe glared at him, he held up his hands in a surrender motion. “Whoa! Felt like the room just got colder. It was just a joke!”

Meenu smiled for the first time since she’d gotten the news. “Thank you.”

They were all ready to navigate the unknown.

***

Four months later, Chloe stood in her small bathroom, pulling her hair up into a ponytail, as she reminisced. She never thought she would be back to living in India after all this time. She wondered what her father would think now.

She stepped out of the bathroom, finding Nadine and Meenu sitting across from each other on the floor. Meenu was holding flashcards made for children, holding up pictures for Nadine, who struggled to remember the word for it in Hindi for a moment before exclaiming the right answer. Meenu giggled.

“Practicing, are we?” Chloe mused, smiling a little as she walked over to them, pressing a kiss to the top of Nadine’s head. “How’s it going, kid?”

“Mmm, I would give her a sixty percent.”

“Sixty?!” Nadine cried, feigning hurt through a smile. “C’mon, at least a seventy-five.”

Meenu smirked. “Seventy.”

Chloe laughed, placing her hands on her hips. “Ooh, you sure know how to negotiate. Seems like you’re learning fast.”

Beaming proudly, Meenu got to her feet, reaching up. Chloe rolled her eyes, smiled, and flexed her arm, and the kid hopped up to hang off of it, like they did often. Nadine brushed herself off, getting to her feet. “One day you’ll be too big for that.”

“Yes, but not yet!” Suddenly, the doorbell to their small apartment rang. Meenu let go of Chloe’s arm. “Yes! Finally, he’s here!”

She rushed toward the door, throwing it open. Sam stood there, pulling his sunglasses up onto his head as he knelt down. “Whoa, is that…? No way! This can’t be Meenu. Look how big you are!” Giggling, she jumped up onto his back, and he straightened up with a groan, stepping inside. “Hello, ladies. Keepin’ out of trouble?”

“More than you, I’m sure, Sam,” Chloe laughed, shaking her head. “It’s been a while. How’s Sully?”

“Visiting Nathan,” he answered, smiling a little. “I’m gonna join him, but I had to make this pit stop first. We’ve been chasing after this treasure for the last month and have gotten nowhere.”

Nadine smirked, raising a brow. “So, you need our help?”

“I wouldn’t say need.”

“Yes, you would,” Meenu laughed, putting her hands over Sam’s eyes.

Sam huffed a heavy sigh, peeking through the kid’s fingers. “So, are you in?”

Chloe and Nadine exchanged a look. The former smiled. “I’ll make us some tea. Come tell us about this treasure.”

In the small apartment, they spent the night looking at maps, journals, and catching up. It was an unorthodox family, but it was one nonetheless.

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

Janan Ganesh: Next week, when Donald Trump strokes a Bible and requests the help of God as president, even a large share of his own fans will doubt that he means either gesture. Thirty-eight per cent of them, as well as most Americans in general, have him down as “not too” or “not at all” religious. I won’t presume to know the inner life of a stranger. But as far as the public is concerned, the US has had, and is about to have again, a leader who is at least atheist-adjacent. Within my lifetime, this was unthinkable.

It is worth pausing to mark little liberal wins, such as the creeping secularisation of the most important country on Earth. Seventy per cent of Americans were members of a place of worship as recently as the millennium. Now fewer than half are. The religious right, while still a force, as Dobbs showed, has to be more covert and euphemistic than it was under Reagan or either Bush. Trump keeps the agents of God around him, no doubt. But on what a tellingly short leash.

A liberal looking for some shards of light in the general murk doesn’t have to make do with this. Here is another intellectual victory so total and pervasive that it tends to pass without notice:

When was the last time someone suggested “de-growth”, and received a hearing? When did it last seem deep and clever to name “wellbeing” as something that should displace gross domestic product? Pre-Covid? Almost everyone in public life now has to pay at least lip service to economic growth: in Europe, which doesn’t have enough, in the US, which does and wants more, in India, which hopes to be a rich country by 2047. Trump keeps the agents of God around him, no doubt. But on what a tellingly short leash

“It’s time we admitted there’s more to life than money,” said David Cameron, who grew up in a rectory, though which wing of it he favoured I don’t know. A prime minister who spoke that sentence in public now wouldn’t see out the week. There is nothing like economic stagnation to teach a country that anything you might rate above money — the preservation of nature, universal access to art, leisure time for relationships — itself depends on surplus income. GDP, while not everything, is almost everything. The priorities of liberal capitalism are harder to question than in the very recent past.

And even this isn’t the ultimate fillip for we who believe in that cause. Five winters ago, news of a viral pandemic started to trickle through. When the lockdown began, I thought it would be 2025 before tourism, nightlife and the ambient sound of cars would come back in full. Other people I thought I knew well hoped that it would be longer. There is a romantic and almost medieval distaste for modern life that simmers away in societies that have been rich for a long time. It isn’t confined to nature-is-healing airheads. It drove TE Lawrence to the desert, and enamoured George Kennan of pre-industrial Russia.

Well, it lost. My prediction was pessimistic by, what, three years? Tourism is rife. I can’t get a table at Goodbye Horses. New York has introduced a congestion charge. In the end, as soon as restrictions eased, people voted with their feet for liberal modernity, even if few of them would think to call it that.

One of the dangers of being excessively online is that you over-index small-time “trends”. Yes, quack science is spreading. This or that gasbag reactionary has two million followers. But these things have to be set against larger defeats for the superstitious, the nostalgic and the anti-modern: defeats so structural as to be hard to spot.

In retrospect, it was a deceptively civilised moment when Trump couldn’t name his favourite Bible verse during a TV interview. (“I don’t want to get into specifics.”) Thomas Jefferson had to go through brilliant circumlocutions to pass off his beliefs as something mistakable as Christian faith. It is possible that one or two recent presidents have slyly padded out whatever quantum of religious feeling dwelt inside them. Now? Going through the motions is enough. Like no other modern figure, Trump shows that liberalism is beleaguered, and quietly rampant.

Akshaya Tritiya

The Hindu lunar month of Vaisakha has an auspicious celebration known as Akshaya Tritiya that occurs on the third tithi of the brighter half (waxing moon phase). Scriptures indicate that today is a very good day for beginning anything new. In order to bring good luck and chase away the shroud of fear and morbidity from their lives, Hindus enjoy buying gold, silver, and other costly commodities and offering special prayers at home. This day is highly revered by hindu seers and astrologers since it falls under the Rohini Nakshatra, a lucky star.

Akshaya, a Sanskrit term, means "never diminishing" in English. People who worship Laxmi Narayana on this auspicious day by going completely without food benefit from endless sunlight and peace in their lives. This day is regarded as a symbol of achievement and a new beginning in Hinduism. This day, known as Sarva Siddhi Day in Hindu philosophy and culture, is suitable for performing any auspicious ceremony or activity, such as a wedding, housewarming, or buying land, a car, gold, or other precious objects. Due to planetary placement in the horoscope, if a person is unable to locate an auspicious time for their wedding throughout the year, they might fix their wedding date on Akshaya Tritiya without visiting an astrologer.

Numerous marriages are performed on this fortunate day in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orrisa, and Bengal on the idea that doing so prolongs married life.

Observing Akshaya Tritiya: India, a diverse nation, observes Akshaya Tritiya under several names. While the celebration is known as Akha Teej in Rajasthan and Gujarat, Akshaya Tritiya is better known in Chhattisgarh as Akti. Because the sacrifices, japas, pilgrimages, and homas carried out on this auspicious day yield greater rewards than those carried out on any other ordinary day, it is known as Akshaya Tritiya. 

According to legends from several holy texts, Lord Kubera, the God of Wealth, prayed to Goddess Lakshmi on the day of Akshay Tritiya, which resulted in a favourable downpour of wealth, money, and blessings on Him. The Hindu faith adherents adore Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi on this day for this reason. Hindus worship Laxmi, Vishnu, and Ganesh in the morning after taking a bath. We present the gods with flowers, sweet candies, and basil leaves from the tulsi plant. To finish the puja, we chant mantras, perform Vrata Katha, and light the aarti. Additionally, it will have a positive impact if anyone donates money or provides food and clothing to those in need.

According to Vedic literature, reciting the mantra "Om Hreem Hreem Shreem Shreem Laxminarayanabhayam Namah" 108 times will bring good prosperity.

Legends and Meaning of Akshaya Tritiya: • Three lunar days (tithes) are considered to be the most auspicious period according to Hindu event astrology (Muhurta). One of these occasions, known as Sade-Teen (312) Muhurtas, is Akshay Tritiya. According to astrology, it is thought that the Sun and Moon are in their most exalted positions on this day. • The 'treta yuga' began on Akshaya Tritiya, according to the teachings of the Vedic scriptures, and 'Nara Narayana' also took on human form on this day. This day is customarily celebrated as Lord Parashurama's birthday. 'Parashurama', Lord Vishnu's sixth avatar, is said to have taken on human form on this day according to the Puranas.

• According to another mythology, on this day the Goddess Annapurna (Lakshmi) came from the sea and the Ganga, the world's most revered river, fell upon the planet. • Sage Vyasa began narrating the epic Mahabharata chronicle of the great Bharat war on this day, and Lord Ganesh started writing it down. Sudama, Lord Krishna's closest friend, paid Him a sincere visit on this auspicious day. Without anything to give, Sudama carried Poha (puffed rice) with him and gave it to Krishna, but he never mentioned his lack of resources, despite his intention to do so. Upon his return, Sudama discovers that the benevolent Lord Krishna has transformed his hut into a palace.

According to a story from the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna gave the Pandava queen Draupadi an Akshaya Patra while they were exiled in the wilderness. Later, food was distributed to all the hungry people in that area via Akshaya Patra. • Beginning on this day and every four months thereafter, the temple gates are opened for darshan in accordance with the 2,000-year-old custom of the sacred pilgrimage known as "Badrinath." On this day, the revered "Banke Bihari temple" in Vrindavan also opens its doors for visitors to see "Sri Vighraha," the deity's lotus feet.

• In the Indian state of Odisha, farmers begin tilling their fields, and work on the chariots for the famed Rath Yatra gets underway at the Puri temple. Most people fast on this day and honour Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. • According to the Vedic traditions, Akshay Tritiya is a very profitable day for charitable giving; taking a swim in the Ganges on this day is seen to be very auspicious. Starting a new business, as well as purchasing gold or real estate, on this day is seen to be particularly lucky.

• Hindus also think that doing the Shraadh ritual for the ancestors on this day is very lucky. In the name of the ancestors, one must provide grains such as barley, wheat, grammes, sattu, curd rice, and items made of milk. Then, he must give food and dakshina to a pandit (Hindu priest).

A significant spring event for adherents of Sanatana Dharma is Akshaya Tritiya. Akshaya is Sanskrit for unending. Because of this, the advantages of engaging in any Japa, Yagna, Pitra-Shraddha, or Daan-Punya (gift of money, food, clothing, or other items) on this day never fade and stay with that person for all time. It is believed that purchases of gold, land, and property made on Akshaya Day will never decrease and will instead increase throughout time. Akshaya Tritiya is said to be an auspicious day free from any malefic effects of planets and the ideal day to begin any auspicious ritual or activities, according to ancient literature and Vedic astrologers.

The Story of Ganesha and His Favorite Laddu

Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu god, is a very popular deity. He is the god of new beginnings and the remover of obstacles. The word 'Gana' in Ganesha means ‘mass of people’, and 'Esha' means ‘Lord of the people’.

 Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati. Another name for him is Siddhi Vinayak. His mount is a rat, and he is worshipped by writers, bankers, and scribes. His favorite foods are Modak and Laddu.

 His birthday is celebrated as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Ganesh Chaturthi. This falls in Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi.

 People worship Ganesha for blessings like knowledge, education, wealth, and wisdom.

 The Birth of Ganesha

 There are many legends about Ganesha’s birth. The most popular one is that of Goddess Parvati, creating him using turmeric. The Brahma Vaivarta Purana tells a different version. On Shiva’s suggestion, Parvati fasted for many years (punyaka vrata) to please Vishnu so that she would have a son. Vishnu told her that he would be born as her son in every kalpa (eon). Thus, Ganesha was born and the event was celebrated with great joy. All the gods came to see the baby. But Shani (Saturn), Suryadev’s son, did not look at the baby directly as his gaze had great destructive power. But he looked at the baby from the corner of his left eye.

 But Parvati told him to look at the baby properly. When he did so, the child’s head fell off. Shiva and Parvati were grief-stricken. Vishnu then climbed on Garuda, his mount, and flew to the banks of the Pushpa-Bhadra river. He found the head of a young elephant and brought it back to Kailas. The elephant’s head was then joined to the torso of Parvati's son, and the baby revived. The child was named Ganesha. All the Gods present blessed him and left.

 Another story says that Shiva unknowingly killed Aditya (Surya). Though he revived the dead boy, the latter’s father, Sage Kashyapa, was still angry. As he was one of the Saptarishis (seven great sages), he cursed Shiva, saying that Shiva's son would lose his head. When this occurred, Indra’s elephant’s head was used to replace it.

 There is also another story. Once, the bath water used by Parvati was thrown into the Ganges. The elephant-headed Goddess, Malini, drank the water and delivered a baby with 4 arms and 5 elephant heads. Ganga, the river goddess, claimed him as her son, but Shiva insisted that he was Parvati's son, and reduced his 5 heads to one. Then he enthroned him as Vignesha, the controller of obstacles.

 Ganesha’s Sweet Tooth

 Ganesha is said to be very fond of sweets. Modak, a dumpling made of rice flour and jaggery, is his favorite sweet. For this reason, he is called Modakpriya, meaning ‘the one who loves modak’. The laddu is another favorite of Ganesha.

 Mythology says that Ganesha’s grandmother, Menavati (Parvati’s mother), would pamper him by making laddus for him. But when he grew older, his appetite for laddus increased. Parvati thought that preparing a lot of laddus in a short span of time was not easy and so she made another dish that he would like equally. This was the modak, made of rice flour, coconut, jaggery, and ghee. Soon, the modak supplanted the laddu as his favorite sweet.

 Ganesha and Kubera

 The tale of Ganesha and his favorite laddu began when he met Kubera, the god of wealth and the treasurer of all deities. Laddu is often offered as prasad to Ganesha. Behind this lies an interesting story.

 Once, Kubera invited Shiva to his palace. The idea behind it was to flaunt his palace, which was made of gold and all his wealth. But Shiva realized what Kubera’s intentions were and sent his son, Ganesha, to Kubera’s palace. When Ganesha reached Kubera’s palace, Kubera began to show off his wealth and expensive possessions. Ganesha was not interested in all this. All he wanted was food, but Kubera continued to boast about his wealth. He said that he had prepared enough food to serve at least a 1000 guests.

 After a while, Kubera remembered his duties as a host and served all manner of delicacies to his guest, Ganesha. Ganesha began to eat and went on eating until all the dishes got over. However, Ganesha’s hunger had not abated. He looked around for more things to eat. Then, he began to eat the uncooked vegetables and raw food in the palace kitchen. Even then, he still felt hungry. Then, he began to eat all the gold utensils in the kitchen. On seeing this, Kubera became upset. He didn’t know what to do or how to deal with the unquenched hunger of Ganesha.

 Finally, he went to Shiva and complained that Ganesha was gobbling up all his wealth. Shiva merely smiled and gave him a laddu that Parvati made. Then he told Kubera to give the laddu to Ganesha and assured him that the laddu would satisfy his ravenous hunger. So, Kubera rushed to the palace and gave Ganesha the laddu made by Parvati.

 Since then, it has become the practice to offer laddus to Ganesha. It is believed to be an auspicious ritual that can attract the blessings of Ganesha.

Tsum Valley Trek: A Journey to Nepal's Hidden Gem

The Tsum Valley Trek is an adventure into one of Nepal's most secluded and culturally rich regions. Located in the Manaslu region, this trek offers a unique combination of breathtaking landscapes, ancient monasteries, and a deep connection to Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Let me share what makes the Tsum Valley Trek an unforgettable experience.

Starting the Journey

The trek begins in Arughat or Soti Khola, gradually ascending through lush forests, terraced fields, and quaint villages. As you follow the Budhi Gandaki River, the trail leads you into the serene and untouched Tsum Valley. The name "Tsum" derives from the Tibetan word "Tsombo," meaning vivid, and the valley truly lives up to its name with its stunning vistas and vibrant culture.

Each day of the trek reveals new wonders, from cascading waterfalls to suspension bridges that add a touch of thrill to the journey. The sense of anticipation builds as you approach the hidden valley, shielded by towering peaks.

Highlights of the Trek

Stunning Scenery and Sacred Peaks

The Tsum Valley is surrounded by dramatic landscapes, with views of Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, and Boudha Himal dominating the skyline. The region’s pristine beauty, coupled with the peaceful ambiance, makes it feel like a world apart.

The trek includes visits to sacred sites such as Milarepa's Cave and Mu Gompa, one of the highest monasteries in the valley. These landmarks offer insight into the spiritual significance of the area, and their tranquil settings leave a lasting impression.

Cultural Immersion

The Tsum Valley is steeped in Tibetan Buddhist culture. The warm and welcoming locals, primarily of Tibetan descent, maintain traditions that have been preserved for centuries. Villages like Chhokang Paro and Nile offer a glimpse into their unique way of life, where religion and daily routines intertwine seamlessly.

Prayer wheels, chortens, and mani walls line the trails, and the sound of monks chanting resonates from monasteries perched on hilltops. Sharing moments with the locals over traditional meals, like tsampa and butter tea, creates memories that transcend cultural boundaries.

Unique Flora and Fauna

The valley is part of the Manaslu Conservation Area and boasts diverse flora and fauna. Dense forests of pine and rhododendron provide a habitat for rare species like the snow leopard, Himalayan thar, and various colorful pheasants. Birdsong accompanies trekkers along the way, adding to the serene atmosphere.

Challenges and Rewards

The Tsum Valley Trek is considered moderate in difficulty, with altitudes reaching over 4,000 meters. While the trails are less crowded than other popular treks, their remoteness adds to the challenge. Proper acclimatization and preparation are essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

The rewards of the trek are immense. The combination of natural beauty, spiritual enrichment, and cultural immersion makes the effort worthwhile. Trekking in the Tsum Valley feels like stepping back in time to a simpler and more harmonious way of life.

Why Choose the Tsum Valley Trek?

The Tsum Valley Trek is ideal for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure. It offers a chance to experience Nepal’s raw beauty and spiritual depth without the crowds. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or someone looking for a meaningful journey, the Tsum Valley will leave you inspired.

For me, the trek was more than just a physical journey; it was a transformative experience. Walking through the valley, surrounded by towering peaks and the unwavering spirit of its people, reminded me of the resilience and beauty of both nature and humanity. If you’re yearning for an adventure that touches your soul, the Tsum Valley Trek is waiting to be explored.

Diwali Paras Parivaar is Spreading Happiness and Lights.

This Diwali Light up Your Heart with True Emotions with Paras Parivaar.

The whole world feels grateful and proud towards the diversity of this country, and appreciate this delightful manner. Paras Parivaar always appreciates the beauty of India’s diversity as well as the splendor of all the festivals associated with Sanatan Dharma.

On the auspicious day of Diwali, the holy festival of Hindus, Indians start preparing for the splendor and decoration of their homes many days in advance. There is a different enthusiasm among all Sanatanis about this festival. This festival of Diwali is very ancient and the biggest festival. The way the people of Ayodhya welcomed Lord Ram by lighting ghee Diyas even in their poor circumstances, can be understood from this, the devotion and love of all the people of Ayodhya towards Lord Ram. At this time, the people of entire India, like the people of Ayodhya, end the black darkness of Amavasya by lighting diyas and candles on the roofs and courtyards of their houses. According to popular beliefs, the entire city is decorated with colorful flowers on that day.

The Excitement among Indians about Diwali Preparations

People start preparing their homes and offices about 10 days in advance. According to ancient beliefs, it is believed that the house which is clean receives the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. This festival does not look at religion. People of every religion are involved in the enthusiasm of this festival, whether they are Hindus or from any other religion. The power of this festival can attract every person. On normal days, the night of Amavasya is considered to be extremely dark, but the flame of love and enthusiasm makes the night of Amavasya on Diwali full of brightness. The diyas lit in millions overpower this evil in the form of darkness, and the whole of India is shining in the flame of unity. Paras Parivar also extends its heartfelt greetings to all Indians and the followers of this festival on this faith-filled and emotional festival.

Diwali can be explained better by its name itself. The literal meaning of Diwali is “row of lamps”, all the followers of Hindu Dharma light lamps in rows on their houses and roofs on this day. The splendor of this divine and luminous occasion of Diwali is visible all over the country. Everyone celebrates their happiness with their family on this day and also welcomes Ram Lalla with enthusiasm. If we recall the popular beliefs, when Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya after killing the king of Lanka, Ravana and completing his 14 years of exile. In today’s time, the entire country welcomes Shri Ram just like the people of Ayodhya. The same enthusiasm remains on Diwali every year. With this message that good always wins over evil, even if that evil is represented by a powerful king like Ravana. Diwali’s traditions and beliefs are honored and celebrated worldwide.

The meaning of this festival of joy is not just to light up our houses as a decoration, in real terms the true meaning of this festival is to remove the darkness within us and present the ideal message in our society. Along with Paras Bhai Ji, Hindu Dharma also believes that on this day, by worshiping Goddess Lakshmi and Shri Ganesh, wealth and prosperity is fulfilled in the houses. Paras Parivaar wishes all the countrymen a Happy Diwali on this auspicious festival. May Goddess Lakshmi shower happiness, prosperity and wealth on you and your family.
