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 |

dh��yo 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."

What is Janeu?

Janeu, also known as Yajnopavita or Upanayana thread, is a sacred white cotton thread worn diagonally across the body, over the left shoulder and under the right arm. It symbolizes the spiritual rebirth of the individual and their readiness to embark on the journey of learning sacred scriptures and leading a disciplined life.
