Rakshabandhan – The Festival of Protection and Trust

– Dr. Shruchi Singh Rakshabandhan (Raksha – Protection, Bandhan – Bondage, Relationship) is famously defined as the festival of brother and sister, though it is not limited to these two alone. In a world where fancy rākhīs have established their roots deeply, to know the importance of Rakshabandhan, we need to focus on Rakshasutra (sutra – thread), the thread of protection. This thread is…

দীনদান (Dino Daan)

There is no god in that temple”, said the Saint.

The King was enraged;

“No God? Oh Saint, aren’t you speaking like an atheist?

On the throne studded with priceless gems, beams the golden idol,

And yet, you proclaim that’s empty?”

“It’s not empty; It’s rather full of the Royal pride.

You have bestowed yourself, oh King, not the God of this world”,

Remarked the saint.

The King frowned, “2 million golden coins

Were showered on that grand structure that kisses the sky,

I offered it to the Gods after performing all the necessary rituals,

And you dare claim that in such a grand temple,

There is no presence of God”?

The Saint calmly replied, “in the very year in which, twenty million of your subjects were struck by a terrible drought;

The pauperized masses without any food or shelter,

came begging at your door crying for help, only to be turned away,

they were forced to take refuge in forests, caves, camping under roadside foliages, derelict old temples;

and in that very year

when you spent 2 million gold to build that grand temple of your’s,

that was the day when God pronounced:

“My eternal home is lit by everlasting lamps,

In the midst of an azure sky,

In my home the foundations are built with the values:

Of Truth, Peace, Compassion and Love.

The poverty stricken puny miser,

Who could not provide shelter to his own homeless subjects,

Does he really fancy of giving me a home?”

That is the day God left that Temple of yours.

And joined the poor beside the roads, under the trees.

Like emptiness of the froth in the vast seas,

Your mundane temple is as hollow.

It’s just a bubble of wealth and pride.’

The enraged King howled,

“oh you sham cretin of a person,

Leave my kingdom this instant’.

The Saint replied calmly,

“The very place where you have exiled the Divine,

Kindly banish the devout too".

--Rabindranath Tagore

[Translated from the original Bengali into English by Sandipto Das Gupta]

This poem by Rabindranath Tagore written in 1307( as per Bengali calendar ,I can't pinpoint the exact date in English calender but it is almost 123 years old) resonates greatly with the current event happening in India. I won't deliante on the exact events because everyone is aware of it and how the government of a secular state is politicising a certain religion to fulfil their agendas. How they are creating division among people by spreading misinformation and hate. You will found enough discussion about that in many beautiful blogs in this platform.( Do check them out) .

I just want to shed light on the desi side of Tumblr and how it has transformed from a safe haven for Indian people to a breeding ground of so called "Kattar Hindus "

I never really talk about politics or about my own experiences with religion in Tumblr . Maybe because I am scared of my mutuals attacking me ,telling me how I am brainwashed by " Leftist Atheist Ideology" and how I am too westernised to understand the intricacies of our great " SANTAN DHARMA" . I have been part of the Tumblr community for almost three to four years .I remember following the #desiblr and #hindublr tag mostly because I was interested on discussing and sharing experiences with like minded people. Being part of a family which believes on letting one choose their religious beliefs, my idea of religion was a mixture of a lot of things . But one thing was common among all of these , no religion is greater than other and all religions have the same end goal, that is to understand the true meaning of life. So Imagine my shock when I realise that the so called aware people of Tumblr and the #desiblr ( which apprently contained well educated ,genuine and open minded people) are actually hypocrites. Their idea of religion is very much confined within the sphere of Krishna Bhakti and glorification of Hinduism in name of love for god. Their religious understanding don't have place for religious minorities and people with different opinions . They only support and propagate a certain kind of Hinduism, continuously glorifying everything in name of love and respect for their " Santan Dharma" . In the span of these few years I have seen people completely ignoring the stories of people who faced casteism by telling them that they are " brain washed" and justifying casteism in the context of Ancient India ( apprently caste system doesn't discriminate amongst people , because that religious privileged upper caste person didn't experienced it first hand and therefore casteism is a myth )

They are first to criticize Muslim Invaders but love to turn a blind eye on the fascist qualities of their own religion ( one of them even went out of their way to justify The practice of SATI for god's sake and not only that they even ended up glorifying jauhar and polygamy) . They live in their own make believe world of Krishna Prem , Mahabharat fanfiction and desi girl aesthetic . It's ok to love your religion but to be blinded by that love and constantly undermine the experiences and ideologies of other is never right. They claim to hate the fascist qualities of Islam but now have ended up doing the same thing. They will bash you if you dare to tell them that you don't view Mahabharat as a part of Indian History or that you don't like following the superstitious beliefs that are prevalent in name of Hinduism. #hindublr and #desiblr were supposed to be place where Indian people could express and share their own experiences with their religion and ethnicity ,but now it has became the breeding ground of religious extremists who proudly propagate religious hate and constantly try to find absurd loopholes to justify their hatered.

Having said that I would like to point out that not everyone is like that ...I have met so many religious people who had openly accepted different ideologies without belittling their experiences.

I am not a great writer unlike @papenathys and many other people in this platform who constantly tries and does their best to point out the hypocrisies of the people in this platform and show them a mirror to a realities of their religion, but I just want to vent out ...I am sorry if my writing is haphazard and not good enough .I know a lot of people (including my mutuals) will not like this, but I am tired of pretending that everything is perfect in this country, I am tired of pretending that 22nd January was a simple religious occasion not a huge political step just for the sake of election , I am tired of the seeing this constant war to prove one religion is greater than another . I am tired of constantly seeing privileged people mocking and belittling the struggles my community faced in the name of caste. I am tired of trying to pretend that Hinduism and Hindu people fit in the mythical reality Tumblr like to portray , I am tired of waking up in a land where people are so blinded by their love for a figure that may or may not exist that they have forgotten basic humanity. You may try to pretend that the " Sanatanis " are not propagating hatered, casteism, fascism by giving an example from your own privileged life but the reality is much darker.

The Month to fast and pray for a good partner in life.

Shravan or Sawan Month is the most auspicious month in the Hindu Calender. The month dedicated to Lord Shiva. Om Namah Shivaya.

Good to chant the Mrityunjaya Mantra

feel like crying when I see the same cheap 20 rupee rings i got in some aggarwal or bhatia or gupta stationaries that used to be across my "society" the same promotional bank diaries from LIC or punjab national bank or promotional calenders from dainik jagran or those prettily illustrated hindu calenders

There's not really a choice in the matter for most atheists. I don't choose not to believe in any higher power, the same way I can't choose to believe in gravity. But, as long as it isn't negatively impacting someone's life, believing in a higher power is harmless and not really any of my business.

Moreover, a lot of religions and cultures overlap. We don't really criticize culturally Christian atheists for celebrating Christian holidays, or question the Christian based calender, or many other things in our day to day lives because it's considered default. Many culturally Christian anti-theists do get really worked up about Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and other atheists that still practice their cultures norms though and believe simply having a certain diet or taking part in holidays and traditions is the mark of someone fully indoctrinated to the most Orthodox version of a religion.

Did last anon forget that atheism ≠ antitheism? The default position of atheism is not asshole. Like many things in the world, it's just neutral. Antitheism on the other hand is explicitly, well, anti theistic.

I'm agnostic personally, but atheists simply choose personally not to believe in God. Antitheism is someone deciding that *no one* should believe in God. Cruciall difference imo, kinda exposes how other anon thinks tbh

Just like we celebrate MOTHER'S DAY and FATHER'S DAY to honor our parents,similarly, the sage's have assigned the full moon day in the Indian month of Ashadh (July/August) for the 'student' to honor the 'Master'. The Sanskrit word for full moon is poornima, so this day is known as 'GURU POORNIMA' , the day when disciples express their love and devotion and thank the Guru for the gifts of love and grace, which are given unconditionally. GURU POORNIMA THIS YEAR IS OBSERVED TODAY ON - 27th July,2018.

PROSTRATIONS TO THE  HOLY SAGES ,WHO SAFE GUARD OUR LIVES WITH THEIR DIVINE ENERGIES !
