"May the divine energy of Navratri and the triumph of good over evil, as embodied by Lord Ram's victory over Ravana, inspire us to conquer our own inner demons and emerge victorious in the battle of life. May we embrace the courage and self-confidence of Ram and the strength and resilience of the Goddess Durga to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals. Wishing you a blessed Navratri and a joyous Ram Navami!"

Navaratri 2024: Embracing Divine Energies in April's Splendor.
For the last Navaratri celebration, the focus was on honoring tradition while adding a modern twist to the culinary delights. Here's a glimpse of the delicious fare that graced the tables during Navaratri 2024 in April:
Sundal Varieties: Sundal, a South Indian snack made from legumes like chickpeas, black-eyed peas, or lentils, was prepared in a myriad of flavors. From traditional coconut and mustard tempering to innovative twists like tangy mango or spicy tamarind, each sundal offered a burst of flavor.
Navaratri Special Thali: A vibrant array of dishes adorned the Navaratri special thali. It featured delicacies like crispy Sabu dana vadas, creamy pumpkin kheer, and spicy potato curry. The thali was a celebration of diverse flavors and textures, symbolizing the richness of the Navaratri festival.
Fruit Chat with a Twist: A refreshing fruit chat received a makeover with a drizzle of honey infused with cardamom and saffron. This sweet and tangy treat was a delightful addition to the Navaratri menu, offering a burst of freshness amidst the rich festive fare.
Navaratri-inspired Mocktails: Cool and refreshing mocktails were served to complement the spicy and savory dishes. Mocktails infused with flavors like rose, mint, and citrus provided a welcome respite from the heat and added a touch of sophistication to the celebrations.
Innovative Desserts: Traditional sweets like coconut ladu and jaggery-based delicacies shared the spotlight with innovative desserts. Guests indulged in decadent offerings like chocolate-dipped bananas adorned with edible gold leaf and saffron-infused rashgullas, elevating the dessert experience to new heights.
Garba: Garba is a traditional dance form originating from the state of Gujarat in India. During Navaratri, people gather in large groups to perform this joyful and energetic dance. Dancers form concentric circles or intricate patterns, clapping their hands and moving gracefully to the rhythm of traditional folk songs. The vibrant costumes and rhythmic beats create an electrifying atmosphere, where participants immerse themselves in the joyous spirit of the festival.
Dandiya Raas: Dandiya Raas is another popular dance form performed during Navaratri, especially in Gujarat and other parts of India. In this dance, participants wield colorful sticks called dandiyas while moving in pairs or groups. The dancers strike their dandiyas in sync with the music, creating a rhythmic pattern of beats. Dandiya Raas is not only a dance but also a social activity that fosters camaraderie and community spirit.
Folk Dances: Apart from Garba and Dandiya Raas, various folk dances from different regions of India are also performed during Navaratri. These dances showcase the cultural diversity of the country, with each region contributing its unique style and repertoire. From the graceful movements of Odissi to the energetic steps of Bhangra, folk dances add a colorful dimension to Navaratri celebrations, reflecting the rich heritage and traditions of India.

Hindu Festival: Tulsi Vivah (तुलसी विवाह)
🚩जय श्री राम🚩
तुलसी विवाह: Facts, Tulsi Mantra And Beliefs
महाप्रसादजननी, सर्व सौभाग्यवर्धिनी,
आधि व्याधि हरा नित्यं, तुलसी त्वं नमोस्तुते।।
#ब्रह्मवैवर्तपुराण के अनुसार तुलसी (वृंदा) शंखचूड़ नामक असुर की पत्नी थीं। शंखचूड़ बहुत बड़ा अधर्मी था, लेकिन उसकी पत्नी सतीत्व का पालन करती थी। यही कारण था कि वह बहुत बलवान था और देवता उसको हरा नहीं पा रहे थे। भगवान विष्णु ने शंखचूड़ का रूप धारण कर तुलसी को छू लिया, जिससे उनका सतीत्व भंग हो गया।
भगवान #विष्णु के ऐसा करते ही #शंखचूड़ की शक्ति समाप्त हो गई। उसके बाद शिवजी ने उसका वध कर दिया। तुलसी को इस बात की जानकारी हुई, तो बहुत ही क्रोधित हुईं। उन्होंने भगवान विष्णु को पत्थर (#शालीग्राम) बनने का श्राप दे दिया।
भगवान विष्णु ने श्राप स्वीकार करते हुए कहा कि वह शालिग्राम रूप में पृथ्वी पर रहेंगे। तुम मुझको तुलसी के एक पौधे के रूप में छांव दोगी। उनके भक्त तुलसी से विवाह करके पुण्य लाभ प्राप्त करेंगे। इस दोनों का #कार्तिक #श��क्ल #एकादशी को विवाह किया जाता है। आज भी तुलसी नेपाल की #गंडकी नदी पर पौधे के रूप में पृथ्वी पर हैं, जहां शालिग्राम मिलते हैं।
Jai Shri Krishna!

*📮Diwali aur Hum Musalmaan*
Diwali ka Hindu tehwar Devi Durga ke zariye Mahisha ke khatme aur 14 saalah jila-watni ke baad Sita aur Ram ki Ayodhya (Bharat mein ek ahem ziarat gah) wapsi ki yadgar hai.
*Sawāl:* Lekin un Musalmanon ka kya jo Hindu dost rakhte hain? Kya woh unhein is tehwar par mubarakbad de sakte hain ya unke sath manana jaiz hai?
*Jawāb:* Nahi, bilkul bhi nahi. Islam mein Allah ka koi shareek nahi hai. Islam mein sab se bara gunah shirk hai aur Diwali shirk ka jashan manati hai.
دیوالی کا ہندو تہوار دیوی درگا کے ذریعہ مہیشا کے خاتمے اور 14 سالہ جلاوطنی کے بعد سیتا اور رام کی ایودھیا (بھارت میں ایک اہم زیارت گاہ) واپسی کی یادگار ہے۔
لیکن ان مسلمانوں کا کیا جو ہندو دوست رکھتے ہیں؟ کیا وہ انہیں اس تہوار پر مبارکباد دے سکتے ہیں یا ان کے ساتھ منانا جائز ہے؟
نہیں، بالکل بھی نہیں۔ اسلام میں اللہ کا کوئی شریک نہیں ہے۔ اسلام میں سب سے بڑا گناہ شرک ہے اور دیوالی شرک کا جشن مناتی ہے۔
The Hindu festival of Diwali marks the destruction of Mahisha by the goddess Durga, and the return of Sita and Rama after 14 years of exile to Ayodhya (an important pilgrimage site in India).
But what about Muslims who have Hindu friends? can they wish them or celebrate it with them?
No, it is most definitely not. Allah has no partners. In Islam, the biggest sin is SHIRK, and Diwali is a celebration of SHIRK.

Happy ~early~ Raksha Bandhan!
Raksha Bandhan.
Note: Raksha Bandhan (this festival) as all other festivals/holidays, Hindu or otherwise in my household are gender neutral, everyone gives gifts to everyone and everyone ties Rakhi on everyone. You can argue how well this upholds the text(s) and I do have messy feelings about my culture but I’ll never hate it and I wouldn’t trade it for any ‘blandness’ or ‘simplicity.’ But I think anything that promotes equity is a good thing, so to my fellow desi ‘siblings’ of any gender or lack of gender here, Happy Raksha Bandhan!

Dharmapuri is a pilgrimage and archaeological site in Telangana (not to be confused with many other villages and towns in India that are named as Dharmapuri).
Dharmapuri of Telangana is a large village (small town) located on the west bank of Godavari river in the Jagtial district at its border with the Mancherial district.
It is home to several historic Hindu temples. These temples were damaged and a few destroyed in the 14th and 15th-centuries conquest of Deccan region, with one temple converted into a mosque by Rustumdikhan in the mid 15th-century during the Islamic rule of this region from Hyderabad. A new main temple was rebuilt by the Hindus after the 15th-century and re-dedicated to Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. It serves as the primary pilgrimage attraction of Dharmapuri.
The temple finds mention in the 10th-century Puranic tourist guide Dharmapuri Kshetra Mahatmya, as well as in the Padma Purana and Brahmanda Purana. The site's significance and temple fame is mentioned in a Kurikyala inscription by Chalukyas of Vemulavada. Believed to be a major Vedic studies and manuscripts preservation center in antiquity and called one of the Dakshina Kashi, it has been a major Vaishnava pilgrimage site, considered as one of nine Narasimha pilgrimage centers (devasthanam) in the Deccan region. Narasimha is one of the major avatars of Vishnu, one particularly popular in Deccan (Telangana, Andhra, east Maharashtra), in Karnataka and in northern Tamil speaking regions of India.
The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple has two major gopurams, the Pedda Gopuram being the primary. After the entrance is the damaged four pillared pavilion (kalyanamandapam) , which is from the Kakatiya era. The pillars are intricately carved with Hindu legends about Vishnu, as well those of Shaiva and Shakti traditions of Hinduism. There are bands of cultural scenes, Hindu festivals, kama and artha scenes as well.
The temple architecture is Dravidian, and illustrates the Hindu temple architecture found in vastu sastra texts. It includes a square temple water tank, called the Brahma pushkarini (Brahma koneru).
The temple hosta a major 13-day festival every March-April. It is called the Brahmotsavalu. This attracts numerous regional Hindus to the pilgrimage site.

Navratri is a nine-night Hindu festival celebrating the goddess Durga It involves fasting, feasting. 🌟 Happy Navratri! 🌟
Navratri is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm across India and by Hindus around the world. The word 'Navratri' literally translates to "nine nights" in Sanskrit, and the festival spans nine nights and ten days, dedicated to the worship of the Hindu goddess Durga and her various forms. Navratri typically falls in the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin , which usually corresponds to September or October in the Gregorian calendar.
Here are some key aspects and traditions associated with Navratri:
Worship of Goddess Durga: Navratri honors the divine feminine energy, particularly Goddess Durga, who symbolizes courage, power, and victory over evil. Each of the nine days is dedicated to one of her different forms, known as Navadurga. These forms include Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri.
Fasting and Feasting: Fasting is a common practice during Navratri, where devotees abstain from consuming certain foods or have strict diets. Some may observe complete fasting, while others may abstain from specific food items like grains, onion, garlic, and non-vegetarian food. The fasts are believed to purify the body and mind and enhance spiritual practices. At the same time, special Navratri delicacies are prepared and shared among family and friends, including dishes like sabudana khichdi, kuttu ki puri, and singhare ka halwa, made with ingredients permissible during fasting.
Garba and Dandiya Raas: One of the highlights of Navratri celebrations is the vibrant and colorful Garba and Dandiya Raas dances. Garba involves circular formations where participants dance gracefully in traditional attire, often accompanied by devotional songs praising the goddess. Dandiya Raas, on the other hand, involves energetic and rhythmic dance performances with sticks (dandiyas) held in each hand, symbolizing the playful combat between Goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasura.
Golu or Bommai Kolu: In South India, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, Navratri is celebrated through the tradition of Golu or Bommai Kolu. During this custom, dolls and figurines representing various deities and mythological characters are displayed on steps or shelves adorned with colorful decorations. Visitors are invited to homes to view the display, and it's considered auspicious to offer prayers and seek blessings during this time.
Vijayadashami: Navratri culminates on the tenth day with Vijayadashami or Dussehra, which marks the triumph of good over evil. This day is significant for various reasons, including the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana in the epic Ramayana. In many parts of India, effigies of Ravana, Megh nath, and Kum bhakarna are burnt to symbolize the victory of righteousness.

Sanatan Dharma is great
Where is it said in Holy Gita Ji Chapter 16 Verse 23 and 24 that those men who abandon the scriptures and behave arbitrarily, they do not attain happiness, peace, accomplishment or supreme bliss, that is, it is useless.
According to the Holy Geeta, only those who do devotion are the ones who believe in Adi Sanatan Dharma.
