Me realising my first love was God:

[sajra-savera]

There's something so healing about dancing while chanting 'हरे कृष्णा हरे कृष्णा कृष्णा कृष्णा हरे हरे,हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे' with so many devotees who are there with hope of a better year and devotion in their hearts.

The Cost of Dharma

Thought about how the man who urged Arjuna to raise the sword against his own kin was the same child who stole butter and ate mud, the man who cursed his entire tribe to self inflicted annihilation was the same child who hid the gopis' clothes, the terrifying manifestation of the divine in the fields of Kurukshetra was the same mischievous boy who housed the universe in his mouth.

A playful child who played the flute for his love and cried when she was married elsewhere sometimes has to bear the burden of godhood. When adharma became widespread in the world, it did not matter what made Krishna happy, what mattered was that justice be restored and dharma reign supreme.

But somewhere along the way we lost Gopal.

Listening to "Arey Dwarpalo Kanhaiya se kehdo" feels so pure i cannot explain it.

[zeherili-ankhein]

Dashavatar and Das Mahavidyas I think would be besties (with barely any explanation why or maybe no explanation)*

Matsya – Lalita Tripura Sundari

Kurma – Tara (Samudra Manthan)

Varaha – Bhuvaneshwari

Vamana – Bagalamukhi

Narshimha – Chhinnamastaa (looks scary but are really nice, just don't piss them off)

Parashuram – Bhairavi (WAR BUDDIES)

Ram – Dhumavati (ahh the unfortunate widows...)

Krishna – Kali (“twin! Where have you been?”)

Buddha – Matangi

Kalki – Kamala

*IMPORTANT: This is not based on the actual association done on Dashavatar and Das Mahavidya. This is just how I thing who would be friends with whom.

Divya Drishti

Bhagwad Geeta (Mahabharat) - Bhishma Parva, Bhagvad Gita Chapter 11, verse 8 :-

"You cannot see my cosmic form with these physical eyes of yours. Therefore I grant you divine vision."

💜💜💜 Satyabhama 💜💜💜

Satyabhama, the daughter of Satrajit; the most beautiful maiden in the three worlds stood awestruck behind a curtain of vines staring as her brothers led Krishna, the newfound Yadava prince towards the Sun temple in her father's quarters. She had heard the rumours, but never imagined he would be this handsome! As he walked up the long hallway, she ran parallelly carefully concealing herself behind the twisted vines. She felt her heart skipping a beat every time he threw back his head, laughing at a rogue joke, or carelessly adjusted the crown on his head that stubbornly kept slipping down.

colour of gods anon here,

had more points to add to what i said, lord Ram, lord Krishna, lord Vishnu and lord Shiva even ( though it is debatable) are all technically black. i looked into it more after i saw hindulivesmatter mention lord rama to be black and i looked into it cause i had never heard that. and i found that back in the days they'd use a blue dye that was dark enough to be considered black to paint all these gods. eventually due to weathering the paints turned to a lighter shade of blue. while some say blue is the colour of knowledge, peace and calmness and that might be a reason why they're shown to be blue, lord vishnu himself has been mentioned to be "megha varnam" which again means one of the colour as the rain clouds. I'd like to add that this is different from lord Shiva's "neelakanta" thing which does say his neck is blur and that is correct because of the poison of the amrit thing.

again, i didn't mean to be disrespectful or anything and i mention this cause ik tumblr has enough hinduphobic bigots, I'm a proud and curious hindu lol, willing to learn more about my religion

You are write about it all being debatable.

The one that’s mostly agreeable is Sri Ram. He was certainly not fair skinned. Now I read it in Hindi but the best way I can translate it is “Lustrous”; this is how Muni Narada describes Prabhu’s skin colour in Bal Kanda.

I looked it up and it is supposed to mean dark. Goswami Tulsidas concurs on that (Sahaj Sundar Sawaro) though he uses “sawaro”, which leaves ambiguity between Dark skin and dusky skin.

Sri Vishnu’s complexion is pretty debatable. While Ramayan refers to it as Neela Megha Shyam yet again, other Scriptures say that he is blue as the Ocean, Ksheer Sagar in particular.

I personally find myself believing the second iteration for following reasons:

His skin tone being equated to an ocean is a hint at his nature; which is vast and tranquil, unmoved by human but also capable of utter destruction.

He is known as Pitambar dhari (he who adorns himself with the yellow garments) you will see this in depictions of Narayan in Vaikunth, and on Sri Ram and Sri Krishna. The Complementary, or opposite colour to yellow is Blue. This explains his affinity to yellow in a more logical sense and creates a sense of balance.

Neel is, like most other words in Sanskrit, is a homonym. Its other meaning is indeed blue. So “dark blue like rain clouds” is a possibility in this case.

As for Shiv ji, Vishnu bhagwan calls him “Karpur Gauram” (As fair as Camphor) so that’s just that. His throat is blue but his overall complexion is almost white. His Bhairav avatars on the other hand are pitch-black.

Sometimes I look at Kanha and all I wanna do is hug him tightly and cry my heart out.

Pov: me at 3 am losing it because the complexities of their relationship goes beyond platonic, romantic or societal norms and can't be summarised in any one way
