I LOVE Religious memes, and I'll tell you exactly why:

Muslim Memes

I have come across so many memes on Muslim life and they are so. Funny.

And an honourable mention to the guy who left the Mufti flaberstaged by slipping and eating Shawarma with Tahini, 3 slices of apple and a wholeass litre of water 😭😭

Muslims are careful not to make God and any religious figure a part of their humour but the jokes surrounding their lifestyle are hilarious. I laugh everytime I see that shiekh with the telescope. And the pettiness of the youtube channel, I'm crying😂😂

I really love the sense of humour and its so relatable sometimes that I just cannot–

(I could not put those relatable memes here because of this app's cursed limit, but It's about stuff like praying fast to do other stuff as a kid which reminded me of speeding through Gayatri Mantra and putting Zam Zam, which is Muslim version of Gangajal in your eyes to purify them)

There are so, so many great memes better than the ones I just posted but my stupid ass pinterest lost them at the right time so yay? 🙃

Rating this a solid 786/10

Christian Memes

Studying in a convent (and their not so subtle indocrination of the faith in us) has made me have a fair bit of acquaintance with this religion.

I see that the case is somewhat more towards making jokes on the bible lore itself. Like yeah there is content on Christian life but jokes on Jesus, apostles and New testemant are the ones I come across more frequently and I LOVE them?? They are so unabashedly hilarious😭😭

Gotta look paintable, even if it's your last dinner, am I right?

I Hollered at the cross one (yes, I studied in a Catholic school and I know exactly what the prominence of the cross is, but I love a sarcastic Jesus omg😭)

I know everytime I come across a Christian TikTok, either about Christian life or Bible lore, I'm ensured of a chuckle atleast.

Rating these a 12/3 for my man Moses

Hindu Memes

Now, the thing with us is that we are free to make jokes on either the lore and our life, because God has made sure to let us know that he has a good sense of humour *cough cough* Vishnu Ji trolling demons with Bramha ka Vardaan *cough* , but I see that we too have more memes on lore than life style.

And THESE are the ones thar speak loudest to me of them all, partially because I'm a Hindu and they hit close to home and partially because they are the best thing ever??😭😭

I have an entire collection of these and they are hilarious, the kind that make you holler if you understand the lore.

The thing is, while there's 10/10 stuff in the lore section, I really feel the lack of memes when it comes to humour on Hindu life, so I hope we can make more of that.

Rating 1008/10 because ofcourse.

All in all, I have two things to say:

1) we need more hindu life memes, let's make them.

2) SEND ME YOUR RELIGIOUS MEMES

Gayatri Mantras for different Deities

According to Vedas there is only one prayer/mantra which should be recited - it is known as the Gāyatri Mantra.

Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ suvaḥ |

Tat savitur vareṇyaṃ |

Bhargo devasya dhīmahi |

dhīyo yo naḥ pracodayāt ||

Which means:-

“We meditate upon the Adorable Light (i.e. the Sun) of the Supreme Being who has projected this entire universe into being. May That One impel our minds towards enlightenment.”

Variant readings:

May That One enlighten our intellects.

May That One guide our mind, speech and actions.

This is the Vedic version, but there are hundreds of other versions pertaining to each and every aspect of the Supreme Being - for the sake of the devotees who prefer NAME and FORM (nāma-rūpa).

Some of these alternative Gāyatris are found in the Upaniṣads (Mahā Nārāyaṇa Upaṇiṣad) but most are from the Tantras.

So if you are a devotee of any particular deity you may choose the gāyatri of that Deity and repeat and meditate upon it only.

[33-108]

For those who practice and believe in the occult/paranormal - this mantra is historically the best and most practical form of defense as offense for all paranormal related matters, as well as matters of MATERIAL battle and concerns related to resources.

I have been cursed many times over (its been awhile - but I have had a history of rubbing people the wrong way *typical of someone with rahu so close the descendant as well as in close contact with sun, jupiter and venus) by indiviuals and groups only to encounter, lets just say.. a *frightful reaction upon seeing me hence after.

I advise anyone who believes they are under attack to use this. Bhairava fucking destroys.. destroys your ego fast and hard, so that you can move with a clear head and perform what is referred today as, "alchemy" intuitively.. gives you nonstop spiritual downloads, clear cut synchronicities and victory with a capital V in matters of resources.

Though I am most concerned with Bhairava as parabhairava/paramsiva, I think people would be interested in the badass first scriptural mention of bhairav.. where it details siva literally fucking up brahma "the creator", for stepping to them.

"The origin of Bhairava is traced back to a conversation between Brahma and Vishnu which is recounted in the Shiva Puranam.[12] In it, Vishnu inquired of Brahma, "Who is the supreme creator of the Universe?" Arrogantly, Brahma told Vishnu to worship him as Supreme Creator. One day, Brahma thought "I have five heads. Shiva also has five heads. I can do everything that Shiva does and therefore I am Shiva." Brahma became a little egotistical as a result of this. Additionally, he began to forget the work of Shiva and also started interfering in what Shiva was supposed to be doing. Consequently, Shiva threw a small hair from his head which assumed the form of Kala Bhairava and casually went to cut off one of Brahma's heads. The skull (kapala) of Brahma is held in the hands of Kala Bhairava, Brahma's ego was destroyed and he became enlightened." Wikipedia

Further elaboration on the Gayatri Mantra from the perspective of a shaivite: "The person who worships Lord Bhairav gets victory over enemies, materialistic comforts, and success. Worshiping Lord Bhairav helps to get rid from sufferings and pains, especially the troubles related to paranormal world. The devotee cherishes all round success and a healthy life free from any sort of diseases. One should recite Kaal Bhairav Gayatri Mantra 108 times at sunrise and pray to Lord Kaala Bhairav for constructive use of time during the day."

Vedic Cosmology; 3 lokas 14 bhuvanas

According to Vedic philosophy, our soul takes birth in different worlds (realms) based on the Law of Karma. The actions you do from the time you are born in any world to the time you die, your soul carries information, experience, learning valuables, and evolve based on that, vibrating at a certain frequency. Your soul’s frequency will match one of the realms where you will be born.

The Gayatri Mantra has been chronicled in the Rig Veda, in the Atharvaveda, Shiva Puranas and Vishnu Purana (Chapter 7) defines fourteen worlds (not to be confused with planets) seven higher worlds (heavens) and seven lower ones (underworlds). The higher worlds are the seven vyahrtis, viz. bhu, bhuvas, svar, mahas, janas, tapas, and satya (the world that is ruled by Brahma); and the lower ones (the seven underworlds or paatalas) are atala, vitala, sutala, rasaataala, talatala, mahaatala, paatala.

Satya Loka (infinite existence, universe himself); The top of the universe. Brahmanda, the Cosmic Egg, or the Universe. As per many Puranas, the Satya Lioka is the abode of Brahma, the God of Creation. Some Puranas describe Brahma as residing in a Cosmic Egg, the Egg of Brahma or Brahmanda. Vibrates at the highest frequency to anything that will be ever known. Longevity; His current age is 50 years 1st day which is 155.5 trillion human years which is the current age of our universe. God-Level: 100%

Tapa Loka (infinite consciousness, universal presence); 2nd highest part of the universe. At four times the distance, between the two last, lies the Tapo-loka (the sphere of penance), inhabited by the deities called Vaibhrajas, who are unconsumable by fire. Tapo Loka is described as 'greater than' or 'beyond' or 'above' the Jana Loka. It is thus the world of the Galaxies visible to us, including the Milky Way Galaxy. The inhabitants of this world of Galaxies thus would be people belonging to an inter galactic civilization. If the narration is to be believed, they are the deities known as Vaibhrajas who are unconsumable by fire. The beings who live here sometimes act as the bridge to connect the universe and sometimes act as a part of the creator itself. Longevity - from the time of reaching this realm till the time creator exists. God-Level: Between 1%–99%.

Jana Loka (infinite delight, observable universe presence); At twice that distance is situated Janaloka, where Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahma, reside. Jana Loka is described greater than Mahar Loka. It thus contains the Mahar Loka, the world of the stars visible to us. The spirits / beings here have all the knowledge about every realm that exists above and below them, know about existence itself and the universe combined, but are still curious to learn more. They can travel anywhere in the universe at the speed of thought. They (Spirits) don’t even need a physical/any form to exist. They are more than aware (definition of awareness) and lost in the beauty of existence. Longevity - till creator exists. Lifespan - 3.11 trillion years. God-Level: more than 1%.

Mahar Loka / Realm of Heaven: (finite existence, start/reset: inter-galactic presence)- Above Dhruva, at the distance of ton million leagues, lies the sphere of saints, or Mahar-loka, the inhabitants of which dwell in it throughout a Kalpa, or day of Brahma. Maharloka is described as the place of saintly souls (as per Vishnu Purana ch 7) and is considered as greater than the Suvarloka (Heaven or Jannat where ordinary people's souls go after death). The souls of the Saptarshis (Ancient Seven Sages) reside here with a watchful eye upon the activities of humanity on Earth. The world of greatest saints. They are the powerhouse of the galaxy which makes the galaxy/local group exist. They are instincts of heaven. They fully understand the concept of one single soul called Brahman. Inhabitants of Mahar Loka will thus belong to an interstellar civilization. All of the 27 Nakshatras known to the ancient Indians too belongs to this Mahar Loka. Longevity - 3.11 trillion years. Lifespan - avg 4.32 billion years. God-Level: 10^(-5)%.

Svar Loka (finite consciousness, start/reset: galactic presence); Suvar Loka (The Solar System) The interval between the sun and Dhruva, extending fourteen hundred thousand leagues, is called by those who are acquainted with the system of the universe the heavenly sphere (Suvar Loka). Suvar-loka (alternatively Swar-loka) is described as regions of space beyond Bhuvarloka. Some description makes it a planet inhabited by the Devas with their king Indra. Some references make it equivalent to the Swarga (Biblical Heavan, Jannat as described in Quran) where good souls go (after death) to reap the benefits of their good Karma (good deeds). Some Puranic references equate Suvarloka to the Solar System. As per these the Suvar loka is consisted of nine sub divisions or sectors called; Druva Mandala, Sani Mandala, Brihaspati Mandala, Angaraka Mandala, Sukra Mandala, Budha Mandala, Nakshatra Mandala, Chandra Mandala, and Surya Mandala. As for the inhabitants of Suvar Loka, the Human Beings are one among them. The beings here are connected with a single consciousness that limits the possibility of any wrongdoings. It is believed all minor 33 million Hindu Gods live here. Lord Indra rules here. You are free from old age, diseases, etc earth realm worries, and pleasures. However, this realm is occasionally attacked by demons and devils who are jealous of the life here. Some Gods who live here - Vayu Dev (God of Air), Agni Dev (God of Fire), etc. You automatically land in heaven once you accept your non-physical existence completely and are so much in control of yourself that you are able to make new physical objects out of nothing. More like a minor creator. Longevity - 4.32 billion years. Lifespan - up to 306.72 million years. God-Level: 10^(-7)%.

Bhuvar (Pitra) Loka / Realm of Consciousness: (realization of existence, start/reset: solar presence); The air, atmosphere. The beings here don’t have a physical existence but need a medium to exist hence, can live in the air in the form of spirits. They are everywhere on earth and solar system and have to decide whether they are ready to leave the physical world forever and go to Svar Loka or come back to Bhu Loka and live one more life on earth. The beings who come back to the earth realm want to experience physical life as Earth is the last and therefore the most fragile form of physical existence. In this Loka, beings can observe everything - past, present & future of earth but in no way interact with the physical world. Longevity - 306.72 million years. Lifespan - up to 4.32 million years. God-Level: 10^(-8)%.

Bhu Loka (realization of consciousness, start/reset: planetary presence); The realm of earth. The region that extends from the earth to the sun, in which the Siddhas and other celestial beings move, is the atmospheric sphere (Bhuvar Loka). The 6th one viz. Bhuvar-loka is identified with Earth's atmosphere and sometimes with the space which is in the immediate neighborhood of Earth. In other words Bhuvarloka is the near-Earth space including Earth's atmosphere. This is the region where all the aircrafts fly and where all the artificial-satellites and space-stations that orbit around the Earth are situated. This region can re equated to the Geospace, the space dominated by Earth's magnetic field. Vibrates at medium frequency. The realm where attraction to the physical world is still relevant and existing and you can experience it. There are many planets with life that exist in this realm, earth being just one of those. This realm gives a balance between attraction and liberation, prophecy and spirituality. Life on earth is alive for just 12 hours of a day of the creator. The 12 creator hours can be divided into 14 Manvantara and each Manvantara has a total of 71 Yuga cycles. Currently, we are in the 7th Manvantara at the 28th Yuga cycle. Each Yuga cycle longevity - 4.32 million years. For simplicity, 12 creator hours can be divided into 1000 cycles of 4 Yuga.

Realm of Underworld (Unconscious Material World):

Atala Loka (finite lust, start/reset: sub-planetary/lunar presence)- The beings here are immortal, free from old age and diseases, and live a life that they ever wanted to live. Humans, during their early stages of development indeed lived in caves that went as deep as 1 km in the Upper Crust (Atala Loka). Several anomalies and submerged alien space-crafts and submerged-cities are reported as per UFO literature, as situated underground, sometimes beneath the oceans, under the bottom of continental lakes, underground cave networks etc. These are thus located in Atala (Upper Crust) and Vitala (Lower Crust).

Vitala Loka (finite ignorance, start/reset: asteroidal presence)- The beings here generally live longer and healthy life compared to Earth. From the success angle, even the richest on earth will be very small compared to the poorest of this realm. The idea of spirituality is lost here and people are in a never-ending race where at no limit anything is even sufficient for them to give satisfaction. A population of successful people all living a highly dissatisfied life.

Sutala Loka (finite ego, start/reset: sub-asteroidal presence)- The beings are turning evil to satisfy their materialistic pleasures. Right becomes Wrong and Wrong becomes Right. Needless to say, you do the right thing. There is nothing called spirituality. It is all about who gets the highest possession of materialistic pleasures and then calls himself God.

Talatala Loka (finite hallucination, start/reset: granular presence)- The beings here live a kind of similar life as of Atala Loka, the difference is, this time your soul is living in someone else illusion considered to be originating from you. Your soul is literally inside a prison now and completely unaware of it. This doesn’t mean beings won’t be living in a castle made of precious stones built above the cloud.

Mahatala Loka (finite fear, start/reset: molecular presence)- A world populated by Hooded Nagas (Hooded Snakes) who fear Garuda (Eagle). Also, a place where huge snakes suddenly and often appear from underground and anybody can be abducted and killed at any time. Every second is precious. Hence, beings live peacefully with each other. The world is full of imposters though.

Rasatala Loka (finite darkness, start/reset: atomic presence)- The home of devils. This is a world of constant war. If your soul doesn’t move to the above realms, there will be infinite times you will be born and die not a good death, over and over again for materialistic desires. Everybody hates everybody, be it even God. Even after having most of the treasure, life here will be in scarcity.

Patala Loka (finite illusion, start/reset: sub-atomic presence)- The darkest place of all the worlds. The deadliest of the snakes live here. Also, the Richest Realm keeps this world shining. Wore by Nagas themselves. It is perceived differently by different people. The most mysterious Loka of all. Gods say this is the most beautiful realm existing. Demons on the other hand couldn’t even speak what they experienced - like a shattered soul. Therefore, the above 14 Lokas constitute 14 worlds of Brahma (creator) as mentioned in Bhagavata Purana.

Some versions of the vedic texts state that good and bad deeds neutralize each other and the soul therefore is born in either a heaven or a hell, but not both, whereas according to another school of thought, the good and bad deeds don't cancel out each other. In either case, the soul acquires a body as appropriate to the worlds it enters. At the end of the soul's time in those worlds, it returns to the earth (is reborn as a life form on the earth). It is considered that only from the earth, and only after a human life, can the soul reach supreme salvation, the state free from the cycle of birth and death, a state of absolute and eternal bliss.

Your imagination is a reality. It is more attractive than Heaven Realms and in many religions considered to be a true definition of Heaven. However, this is like being locked inside one’s own imagination where after a certain limit, the path/guidance towards true meaning starts becoming desire. Imagine listening to your same favorite music, eating the same favorite food, talking about the same favorite things, etc. The one who wants to seek an answer comes to Bhu Loka. Since there is no pain or sadness here, the value of pleasure and happiness decreases over time, and after a saturation level, being relatively lesser happy than yesterday will be the reason to inflict pain to yourself unknowingly and this keeps growing if not checked. Since pain doesn’t kill, pain may become a new pleasure.

Understanding Kundali Doshas is essential for anyone seeking insights into their horoscope and life events. In Vedic astrology, a Kundali (birth chart) reveals planetary positions and their effects on a person’s life.

How is Pitra Dosh formed in Kundli?

Pitra Dosh is a significant concept in Vedic astrology, believed to arise from the misdeeds or unresolved issues of one's ancestors, particularly if they did not receive proper rites and rituals after their passing. This dosha is said to bring various challenges and obstacles in the lives of their descendants. Here is an explanation of how Pitra Dosh is formed in a Kundli (horoscope): Formation of Pitra Dosh in Kundli

Planetary Positions: ○ Pitra Dosh is primarily identified through the placement of the Sun, Moon, and Rahu/Ketu in the Kundli. Key indicators include: ■ The Sun, which represents the soul and fatherly figures, is afflicted by malefic planets like Rahu or Ketu. ■ The presence of Rahu or Ketu in the 9th house (house of father, ancestors, and fortune) or with the Sun in any house. ■ The 9th house lord is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house and is afflicted by malefic planets.

Influence of Rahu and Ketu: ○ Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets associated with karmic debts and past life influences. Their conjunction or aspect with the Sun or 9th house lord can create Pitra Dosh.

Afflicted 9th House: ○ The 9th house in a horoscope is related to one's father, ancestors, and their blessings. If this house is afflicted by malefic planets or if the house lord is weak or placed in an unfavorable position, it can indicate Pitra Dosh.

Weak or Afflicted Sun: ○ The Sun signifies one's father and paternal lineage. A weak, debilitated, or afflicted Sun, especially when influenced by Rahu or Ketu, is a strong indicator of Pitra Dosh.

Combination with Other Malefic Planets: ○ The presence of other malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, or Rahu in conjunction with or aspecting the Sun, Moon, or 9th house can further exacerbate the effects of Pitra Dosh. Effects of Pitra Dosh Individuals with Pitra Dosh in their Kundli may experience various challenges, including: ● Financial difficulties and instability ● Health issues for themselves or family members ● Obstacles in career and education ● Delayed marriage or marital problems ● Issues related to childbirth or progeny Remedies for Pitra Dosh There are several remedies to mitigate the effects of Pitra Dosh, including: ● Performing Pitra Shanti Puja or Pitra Dosh Nivaran Puja ● Conducting rituals like Tripindi Shradha and Tarpan for the deceased ancestors ● Reciting specific mantras like the Pitra Gayatri Mantra or offering prayers to Lord Vishnu ● Feeding the poor and offering food and clothes to Brahmins and needy people ● Performing charity and good deeds in the name of ancestors Conclusion Pitra Dosh is a reflection of the unresolved karmas and unfulfilled duties towards one's ancestors. By understanding its formation in the Kundli and performing the appropriate remedies, individuals can seek to alleviate its effects and invite positive energies and blessings into their lives.
