Umm Hellooo,

So I was wondering are there any canon children of Mitra dev and Varuna dev or Agni dev and Soma dev.

Also I love absolutely anything you post here it makes my day ☺️

Omg hiii Im so flattered thank youuu

Okay so they do have canon children

Mitra-Varuna's offspring - Agastya and Vasistha

2. Mitra-Revati's children - Utsarga, Arishta and Pippala

3. Varuna had many kids too - Srutayudha, Pushkara, Sushena, Bala, Sura, Andharmaka, Dakshasavarni Manu, Varuni (goddess of wine, and yes, she is sometimes separated from her Varunani form), Bhrigu (sometimes) etc.

4. Agni-Svaha's children - Pavaka, Pavamana, Suchi. In the Devi Bhagavat Puran, the names are different. They are Dakshinam, Garhapatyam and Ahavaniyam.

5. Agni has other kids too - Nila, Agneya, Draupadi, Drishtadhumnya, Bhrigu, Subrahmanya, (Ekata, Dvita, Trita from water), and Skanda (initially).

6. So with Soma, if we consider him as a separate deity from Chandra, then I'm not really sure, because at that time he was rather a bachelor ladies-man. But if we synonymize him with Chandra then....

7. Chandra-Manohara's children - Varchas, Shishira, Prana, Ramana

8. Chandra-Tara's offspring - Budh

9. He also has a daughter called Jyotsnakali.

Shamans are religious specialists who are perceived as having the capacity to deal directly with spirits on behalf of the community, either by sending their own soul on a journey to other realms or by calling them into the here and now and manifesting them in their own bodies.

Pretty sure I've already seen every manga panel with Mayuri in it but these little comics at the end are new to me! Kubo draws him with such ease😭 (that goes for all his characters but Mayuri took me SO long to get even remotely right lol)

The deeper I fall down this extreme research hole of reading sutras and Buddhist texts, I feel like the lotus sutra would be what Yangchen chants on the regular. Followed by either the medicine Buddha sutra or the Ksitigarbha sutra

[h0bg0blin-meat]

Reporter, to Svaha: What kinda guys do you prefer?

Svaha: Uh my husband ❤️.

Reporter, to Soma: What kinda girls do you prefer?

Soma: Uh Svaha's husband.

The value of community: Remove the illusory gap 

As you sit down on your yoga mat.. there is the tendency to immediately close the eyes and turn in. But for once.. please look around, with your eyes wide open. Notice the value of community. Notice the people around you.

‘’The eye can see what we have in common or focus on what keeps us apart. And the heart can feel what joins us with everything or replay its many cuts. And the tongue can praise the wind or warn against the storm. It can praise the sea of dread the floods. It’s not that there are no differences – the world is made of infinite variety – rather it is the fearing of differences – that keeps us from feeling grace. Paradoxically everything in life touches the same centre through its uniqueness – the way no two souls are the same, though every soul breathes the same air’’.

Mark Nepo wrote this in his book ‘’The book of awaking’’ that he wrote during his battle with cancer.

So, as you sit on your mat, relax your heart, breathe deeply.  You know, I’ve cried so deeply these last weeks. During Christmas I couldn’t stop crying anymore. I was frustrated and angry. I wanted the bullshit to stop, the fire to cease. I guess I ruined Christmas for my family members around me, with my torment.. I texted the wise friend about my despair. He said; ‘Rejoice the fact that you cry – if we wouldn’t in the face of current wounds of our fellow humans – who are we? What is left of us?’

Everything that removes the illusory gap between you and all those around you – is spiritual. When we fall into the illusion that one creation is better than the other – we enter the minds worst disease  - the endless deciding between want and don’t want – the endless war between for and against. In the Yoga Sutra’s of Patanjali this disease is referred to as Raga and Dvesha as the effects of Avidya or ignorance.

My friend made me realize that all I have is the gift to be fully open. To let life touch me – to empathize. Not to numb, not to walk away, not to wash my hands in innocence ánd not to wallow in pity. Just to let life touch me and trust that the heart is big enough to hold it all. To empathize as my motor for knowing and living truth. 

The Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield shares: ‘’Even the most exalted states and the most exceptional spiritual accomplishments are unimportant if we cannot touch one another and the life we have been given with our hearts. In undertaking a spiritual life, what matters is simple: We must make certain that our path is connected with our heart. In the end, spiritual life is not a process of seeking or gaining some extraordinary condition or special powers. In fact, such seeking can take us away from ourselves. If we are not careful, we can easily find the great failures of our modern society—its ambition, materialism, and individual isolation—repeated in our spiritual life. In beginning a genuine spiritual journey, we have to stay much closer to home, to focus directly on what is right here in front of us, to make sure that our path is connected with our deepest love.

When people come to the end of their lives and look back, the questions that they most often ask are not usually, “How much is in my bank account?” or “How many books did I write?” or “What did I build?” or the like. If you have the privilege of being with a person who is conscious at the time of their death, you find the questions such a person asks are very simple, “Did I love well?” “Did I live fully?” “Did I learn to let go?”

These simple questions go to the very core of spiritual life. When we consider loving well and living fully, we can see the ways our attachments and fears have limited us, and we can see the many opportunities for our hearts to open. Have we let ourselves love the people around us, our family, our community, the earth upon which we live? And, did we also learn to let go? Did we learn to live through the changes of life with grace, wisdom, and compassion? Have we learned to shift from the clinging mind to the joy of freedom?

We must look at the values we have chosen to live by. Where do we put our time, our strength, our creativity, our love? We must look at our life without sentimentality, exaggeration, or idealism. Does what we are choosing reflect what we most deeply value? If we are still and listen deeply, even for a moment, we will know if we are following a path with heart. All other spiritual teachings are in vain if we cannot love. Even the most exalted states and the most exceptional spiritual accomplishments are unimportant if, we cannot touch one another and the life we have been given.

So, what matters is what we see and how we live. Ask yourself concerning the year that has past “Did I love well?” “Did I live fully?” “Did I learn to let go?” And let it be your guide for the year to come. For our passionate engagement in life. Keep opening up. Letting things in. Move. Protest. Care. Everything that removes the illusory gap between you and all those around you – is spiritual.
