[klarisaa]

Aku merindukan bagaimana senyuman mu yang mulai pudar di ingatan

aku merindukan bagaimana tawa mu saat kau berbincang dengan kawan-kawan mu

aku merindukanmu disaat kita berapasan di kota ku

aku merindukan mu disaat aku bisa menatap lama mata teduh mu

aku merindukan mu saat kita bisa dengan tidak sengaja bertemu

amu merindukan mu saat kau gunakan kau hijau itu

aku merindukan mu dengan celana hitam dan sepatu berwarna hijau mu

aku merindukan mu, merindukan segala detail mu, merindukan waktu-waktu saat kau mash ada dikota ku

Tuan mari bertemu, aku ingin memeluk raga mu, menatap lama wajah mu

Dalam luasanya samudra ini, apa yang direnggut oleh ombak mengenai masa kecilmu yang riang dulu?

Tertawamu yang dulu nyata.. kini rasanya hanya bohong belaka

Capek ya?, tapi tidak apa. begitulah jalan hidup.. ya kan?

kita sama-sama tahu, tidak semua keinginan akan menjadi kenyataan, bukan?

Samudra Manthan – All the Information You Need

Sage Durvasa’s curse on Indra weakened the Devas, so the Asuras attacked Swarga. Due to their lack of strength, the Devtas were forced to abandon the battle and leave heaven to survive. They approached Brahma for assistance, who then forwarded them to Vishnu.

Vishnu suggested the Devas make a peace offer to the Asuras for something valuable. The Devas considered it and approached the Asuras. After a truce, Devtas, and Asuras churned Kshira Sagara for Amrita. Vasuki was the rope and Mandara (Samudra Manthan) was the spinning rod.

Do you know what 14 things came from Samudra Manthan? Get an online astrology consultation by the world-renowned Astrologer Mr. Alok Khandelwal.

They churned using Mandara mountain and Vasuki, as instructed by Vishnu, and threw all kinds of therapeutic herbs into the ocean. Vishnu instructed the Devas to join hands with Asura King Maharaja Bali. Asuras and Devas carried the mountain. The mountain’s weight fatigued most Devtas and Asuras. Many died. Vishnu and Garuda then placed the mountain in the water.

Vishnu urged Garuda to depart so Vasuki could come. Brahma sat atop the mountain for equilibrium. Asuras and Devas called Vasuki, who they wound around a mountain.

Asuras didn’t want the snake’s tail since they thought it was inauspicious, so Devtas took it. The Kashyapa, Deva, and Asura sons started churning the milky ocean after fine-tuning every aspect.

Even if Devtas and Asuras’ hands were strong, the mountain lacked strength in the ocean and sank. Then Vishnu (in his Kurma Avatar) jumped into the water. He made Mandara Mountain an island 800,000 miles long. Vishnu sensed scratching on the tortoise’s back instead of weight. Devtas and Asuras were revived and resumed churning. Vasuki’s smoke and fire weakened the Asuras.

The first product to emerge was halahal after years of churning (poison). Its venom threatened the world. It’s the universe’s most toxic poison. Devas and Asuras collapsed. Vishnu said only Shiva could stomach the poison. 

Devas and Asuras sought Shiva’s help on Mount Kailash. Shiva drank the poison. Devi Parvati held Shiva’s neck poison while sipping halahal. So, she was called Vishakantha, which means “one who managed to hold poison in his throat.” The poison stained Lord Shiva’s neck blue, hence he was dubbed Nilakantha. 

Shiva cleaved the mountain with his Trishul to quench his poison-induced hunger. When Shiva drank poison, some droplets dripped on his fingers, which venomous animals ate. 

Devtas and Asuras started churning when the universe was safe and all the halahal was drunk. Then Kamdhenu or Surabhi emerged after churning. The Surabhi cow generated all the yogurt, milk, and ghee needed for Vedic rites. 

Uccaihsrava arrived. Seven-headed flying horse. Indra granted Bali Maharaja’s request for the horse.

Eight male and eight female elephants appeared. Male was led by Airavata, female by Abhramu. Indra rode Airavata.

Kaustubha-Mani and Padmaraga-mani were the world’s most precious jewels. Devas and Asuras both gave Lord Vishnu the Kaustubha.

Then came the magnificent Parijat flower, which never wilts. Devas brought it to Indraloka.

After that, under the direction of Rambha, Menaka, and Punyasthala, the Apsaras arrived. They wore jewelry and lockets with seductive attire. Apsaras picked Devas as a partner.

Then the Goddess of Fortune, Lakshmi, materialized and took Vishnu as her eternal husband.

After Laxmi, the Asuras claimed the goddess Varuni or Sura. Varuni or Sura created alcohol. Different sources say these came from Ksheera Sagar:

A demon’s strong bow symbolizes his aggression.

Chandra, Shiva’s moon Shankha, Vishnu’s conch.

Varun took an umbrella. Lord Indra gives Goddess Aditi earrings (sloth)

Years passed, but no Amrit appeared. They became tired and impatient. Then a strong man with a jug of Amrita appeared. Dhanvantari was an Avatar of Vishnu and the God of Ayurveda.

Asuras seized Dhanvantari’s jug as he arrived. Again, Asuras and Devas fought over Amrit. When they struggled, four drops of Amrit fell in Allahabad or Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nasik. These places have Kumbh Mela every 12 years.

Continued struggle To end it, Vishnu took the appearance of the lovely damsel Mohini and informed the Asuras she would divide the Amrit fairly among the gods and demons. The Asuras were so enchanted by Mohini that they were duped. Only the Devas could receive the Amrit she was delivering.

Rahu took the shape of a Deva and sat among them. His luminosity was unlike the Devas’. Surya and Chandra observed and told Vishnu in Mohini. Mohini severed his head with Sudarshana Chakra. But Rahu took Amrit. He survived. His head, Rahu, and body, Ketu, later become planets.

At its conclusion, there was yet another conflict between the Devas and the Asuras. This time, immortal Devas beat Asuras.

Ok IMAGINE

So just how Lakshmi had a swayamvar when she came out of the Manthan

Varuni also gets her own swayamvar

Possibility 1 — she's instantly interested with Varuna and chooses him

Possibility 2 — Varuna drowns everyone else so she could choose him

Possibility 3 — Varuna is thisssss close to screaming “choose me!” before Varuni actually chooses him

Possibility 4 — Varuni decides that's her husband and Varuna is 😳

Choose one or add your own possibility

The first and last possibilities are actually canon lmao

WTF WAS POSSIBILITY 2 IM DYING. Varun is DOWN BAD HDSJFHSJFD

I'd go with Possibility 1 but Varuni didn't know it was a swayamvar. So she saw Varun and simply waved to him, and people thought she chose him and started clapping. Varun was shocked. Varuni was clueless. But they cleared the confusion and decided they don't marry instantly. They first become friends and THEN marry because ion like women marrying strangers LOL

Background of Samudra Mathan and Lord Shiva consuming Haalaahala

I want to remember the story of Lord Shiva drinking poison, as it holds great significance in our Hindu tradition. It shows our Lord's compassion towards us.

The story of Samudra Manthan begins during a time of conflict between the Devas and Asuras. After being defeated, the Devas sought help from Lord Vishnu, who advised them to churn the ocean of milk to obtain amrita, the nectar of immortality. To do this, they needed the strength of the Asuras, so the Devas proposed a partnership. Mount Mandara served as the churning rod, and the serpent Vasuki was used as the rope.

As they churned, various treasures emerged, such as Kamadhenu, Airavata, Kalpavriksha, Laxmi, and Dhanvantari, who brought the pot of amrita. However, amidst these wonders, a deadly poison named Haalaahala surfaced, threatening to destroy everything. Both the Devas and Asuras were terrified and turned to Lord Shiva for assistance.

Lord Shiva answered their prayers and, realizing the gravity of the situation, decided to consume the poison to save the universe. With great resolve, he swallowed the Haalaahala, holding it in his throat to prevent it from affecting him. This act turned his throat blue, earning him the name Neelkanth.

Once Lord Shiva contained the poison, the churning continued, and eventually, the amrita was produced.

A Slight Variation in the story according to different sources:

In the story of Samudra Manthan, Parvati's involvement with the poison is often mentioned in various retellings. According to some versions, after Lord Shiva consumed the Haalaahala poison to save the universe, Parvati became concerned for his well-being.

To protect him, she is said to have grasped his throat, preventing the poison from going further into his body. This act symbolizes her role as a nurturing and protective force. This detail is found in some texts and folklore, though it may not be emphasized in all versions of the story.

I personally love the story of how Lord Shiva consumed Halahala to protect us. It shows that he is capable of absorbing all our poisons and granting the amrita of liberation. There is nothing that can equal his mercy.

[klarisaa]

aku ingin memelukmu dengan tenang

setenang laut yang menyambut ombak yang kembali setelah menyapa daratan

aku ingin mengengamu hangat

sehangat sinar matahari di ufuk timur pada pagi

aku ingin mendampingi mu sampai nanti

sampai raga sudah menua dimakan masa

sampai kulitku keriput terbawa jama

sampai rambutku memutih karena usia senja

sampai pada akhirnnya mataku menutup dan tidak membuka lagi

dan pada saat itu pula sudah kutepati janjiku

yang akan menemanimu sampai akhir hayat ku

gold bangles

three weeks ago my mother gave me two of her gold bangles to wear

(i took them off; they made me feel too much like a woman)

i wonder how much of our gold has been mined from other people's pain

and flesh and bones

whoever we are

wherever we came from

we have colonized mind and body

our orange vermillion turmeric idols

housed in temples made of thousand-year-old corpses

our dams flooding their gods

our silos crushing their lungs

we lose them, and ourselves.

if i stop talking about it

will you give the gold back?
