Religious Pluralism in Action

An Overview of Terms

Religious Exclusivism

"Religious exclusivism, or religious exclusivity, is the doctrine or belief that only one particular religion or belief system is true. This is in contrast to religious pluralism." (source: wikipedia)

Religious Pluralism (Politically)

"Religious pluralism is an attitude or policy regarding the diversity of religious belief systems co-existing in society." (source: wikipedia)

Religious Pluralism (Spiritually)

"Religious pluralism, as a spiritual practice, is when an individual practices two (or more) separate religious traditions without directly engaging in syncretism. " (source: The Temple of Hyacinthus)

Background

This morning I woke up knowing it was going to be a hard day. I could feel the exhaustion in my body and mind; and as I got out of bed to prepare for work, I was acutely aware of how slow and unmotivated I was feeling.

I entered my office and went to my standing altar. I lit my 'hearth candle' and said a quick prayer to the Household Gods before I got started on my day.

As the minutes ticked by I could tell my emotions were getting the better of me - weighing me down and consistently interrupting my focus. I was longing for a feeling of strength and a feeling of safety - and in that moment the Hindu Goddess Kali (🙏 Om Krīm Kālikāyai Namaḥ 🙏) and the Hindu Goddess Durga (🙏 Oṃ Śrī Durgāyai Namaḥ 🙏) came to my mind.

For Context: Before converting to Hellenic Polytheism, I was a follower of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) for several years.

So, I went over to my shrine to Shakti's incarnations at Maa Kali and Maa Durga and lit their candles. Invoking the blessings of the Goddesses, and the bringer of luck Ganesha, I prayed:

Please give me protection, please give me strength

Om Maa Durga

Om Maa Kali

Om Ganesha

Om Shakti

Reflection

Just because I am a Hellenic Polytheist and no longer identify as a student of Hinduism, does not mean I cannot call upon the Devas for guidance or support. It also doesn't mean that just because I primarily identify as a Hellenic Polytheist that I can't also worship Hindu deities when I feel called to do so.

The beauty of Hellenic Polytheism is that it is not a religion that preaches Religious Exclusivism (unlike Christianity and other monotheistic religions). I can be a Hellenic Polytheist, but can also practice Religious Pluralism and practice Sanatana Dharma. And the beauty of these religious traditions is that they both acknowledge Religious Pluralism and reject Religious Exclusivism.

So, I may be a Devotee to Lord Apollo and Lady Aphroditê - I may steward a Hellenic Temple - and I may reply 'Hellenic Pagan' if someone asks for what religion I follow. But I can still celebrate Diwali and Navratri, I can still hold Pujas for the Devas, and I can still incorporate Dharma into my life.

This is Religious Pluralism in action; giving yourself the permission, space, and grace to fulfill your spiritual needs through multiple religious traditions. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's the path that works for me.

Eirene - peace and farewell,

Aön

"Ganesha is the Power that removes obstacles by the force of Knowledge...." ~Sri Aurobindo

Ganesha ॐ Talon Abraxas

Prayers of Invocation

Invocations are chants and prayers by which we “invoke” the presence of the Deity. The God is being called. The God and the devotee are being brought together, in touch. Prayers of invocation often sing out the greatness of the Deity, His known attributes and qualities. Vedic rishis and holy sages of olden times were masters of invocation. They could immediately call up the devata through the strength of their mantras. In the puja and japa chapters of this book there are many chants that also serve as powerful invocations. “Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah” is an invocation in itself. We begin this section on prayers with a famous shloka to Lord Ganesha from the root scripture of all denominations of Sanatana Dharma, the Vedas. It has been chanted by billions of Hindus down through the ages, uttering five attributes of Ganesha and invoking His all-powerful protection.

Aum shuklambaradharam vishnum Shashivarnam chaturbhujam Prasanna vadanam dhyayet Sarva vighnopa shantaye Aum, attired in white and all-pervading, O moon-hued, four-shouldered One with smiling face so pleasing, upon You we meditate for removing all obstacles.

Shri Adi Sankara prayed in his Ganesha Bhujangam the following invocation. It is particularly suitable for recitation before japa and deep meditation on the highest wisdom of Lord Ganesha, the incomparable Lord:

To You whom the wise exclaim as the single-syllabled, Supreme sound, stainless and peerless, bliss, formless, unconditioned — the Indweller in the core of sacred tradition — to that Primeval One I bow in adoration.

Prayers of Supplication

Prayers of supplication are requests, pleadings or entreaties presented to the Deity in the spirit of personal surrender and loving devotion. Something specific is being asked for, a specific problem is being laid at the Lord’s Holy Feet. Such supplications to the one-tusked Lord are given unconditionally, with full trust that He will do what is best for us, though not necessarily what we might think is best. We do not demand of the Lord; for He, like a parent, provides not as we desire, but as we truly need. Prayers of supplication may come forth in the natural language of our hearts.

Leaving a problem at His holy feet means we let it be there and do not carry it home with us. Nor do we worry or wonder about how it will be handled, when it will be taken care of, or if it will be taken care of at all. In full unquenchable faith we leave the matter there, at the feet of the God, and walk away from the temple or shrine, feeling that release has started and solution will be forthcoming. We must have this kind of faith for religion to work within us. To carry home with us the same problems, fears and worries would be to take back the offering we have given the Deity to dissolve. This is like the rich and famous who buy with gifts and do not give at all, slyly expecting more than something in exchange, gaining papa rather than punya and not knowing the difference. The course of events will later show how he works for our ultimate spiritual welfare. The following are prayers we may use as circumstance dictates.

Diwali 2024: Complete Guide to Lakshmi Puja Muhurat and Rituals for Home and Office

Diwali, the festival of lights, is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Central to this celebration is the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, fortune, and prosperity. Performing the Lakshmi Puja during Diwali with devotion and following the proper rituals is believed to invite divine blessings for prosperity and peace. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to perform the Lakshmi Puja for Diwali 2024, both at home and in the office, along with the ideal muhurat (auspicious time) to conduct the puja.

Lakshmi Puja Muhurat for Diwali 2024

The muhurat, or the specific auspicious time for performing Lakshmi Puja during Diwali, holds great importance. In 2024, the Diwali festival falls on November 1st. The Lakshmi Puja should be performed during the Pradosh Kaal, which is approximately two hours after sunset. This year, the Pradosh Kaal is expected to start from 6:10 PM to 8:10 PM (IST). Additionally, the best time within the Pradosh Kaal is known as the Sthir Lagna, which is considered highly auspicious for invoking Goddess Lakshmi as it ensures stability and long-lasting prosperity.

For those unable to perform the puja during this period, the Nishita Kaal (midnight) can also be considered auspicious.

Step-By-Step Guide to Perform Lakshmi Puja at Home

Cleaning the Home: Begin with thorough cleaning of your home. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides where there is cleanliness. Ensure all corners of the house are free from clutter, and decorate the entrance with rangoli or colorful designs.

Creating a Puja Space: Set up a clean and sacred area for the puja. Place an image or idol of Goddess Lakshmi along with Lord Ganesha on a raised platform. Place kalash (water-filled pot) near the idols as a symbol of prosperity.

Offerings for Lakshmi Puja: Keep all the puja items ready, including:

Flowers (especially marigold or lotus)

Betel leaves and betel nuts

Rice, turmeric, and kumkum

Sweets like laddoos or kheer

Diya (oil lamps), incense sticks, and camphor

Silver coins and new account books (if performing the puja for your business)

Performing the Puja:

Light the lamps and incense sticks to purify the atmosphere.

Begin with a Ganesh Puja, as Lord Ganesha is invoked first to remove all obstacles.

Offer flowers, rice, and sweets to Goddess Lakshmi while chanting mantras like the “Lakshmi Gayatri Mantra” or the “Shree Suktam.”

Perform the Lakshmi Aarti with utmost devotion.

Offering Naivedya: Offer prasad or sweets prepared for the puja as naivedya to the Goddess. This food offering symbolizes gratitude for the blessings received.

Distribution of Prasad: Once the puja is completed, distribute the prasad among family members, symbolizing the sharing of divine blessings. Don’t forget to place diyas around your home, especially near the entrance, to invite positivity and prosperity into your household.

Step-By-Step Guide for Lakshmi Puja in the Office

Preparation: Clean the office space and ensure it is clutter-free. Decorate the office with flowers and Diwali-themed decor such as rangolis and diyas.

Setting Up the Puja Area: Select a quiet and clean area for the puja. Place the idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on a small platform. Arrange for the necessary puja items.

Puja Process:

Just as you begin the home puja with Ganesh Puja, do the same in the office.

Offer flowers, betel leaves, and sweets to Goddess Lakshmi while chanting prayers.

Conduct the Aarti and distribute the prasad among all employees. Some offices also perform the puja with new account books or gadgets to bless the business with growth and wealth.

Lighting Diyas: Finally, light up the office with diyas and candles. It not only adds to the festive vibe but also spreads positivity across the workplace.

Concluding the Puja

After the Lakshmi Puja, it is customary to leave at least one diya burning overnight to welcome Goddess Lakshmi into your home or office. Maintaining an environment of peace, joy, and cleanliness is essential during Diwali to sustain the blessings of wealth and prosperity throughout the year.

Why Lakshmi Puja is Performed During Diwali

Lakshmi Puja is performed on the third day of Diwali, also known as the Amavasya or the new moon night. This night is believed to be the most auspicious for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi as she descends to the earth to bless her devotees. The lighting of diyas signifies driving away darkness and ignorance and welcoming wealth, knowledge, and prosperity.

Indian Festivals Connection to Sanatan Dharma

How Indian Festivals Relate to Sanatan Dharma

Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust said Sanatan Dharma, or Hinduism, is the world's oldest living religion, dating back to prehistoric times, and its teachings and beliefs are reflected in the various festivals held across India. Festivals are extremely significant in Sanatan Dharma because they enable people to connect with the divine, celebrate natural cycles, and form community relationships. Festivals are more than just cultural gatherings; they are fundamentally spiritual in nature, with each one offering a distinct message or lesson. Many Indian festivals honor particular Hindu deities and their stories from the Puranas and other sacred texts. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, celebrates Lord Rama's homecoming from exile and victory over the evil king Ravana. Similarly, Janmashtami respects Lord Krishna's birth, whilst Ganesh Chaturthi honors Lord Ganesha's birth.

1) Diwali (Festival of Lights): This is one of the most popular Sanatan Dharma holidays, with celebrations taking place all over India and the world.It symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. People decorate their homes with diyas (lamps) and candles, and they exchange sweets and gifts.

2) Navratri (Nine Nights): Navratri is a nine-day festival that honors the divine feminine power, or Shakti. It is celebrated twice a year, in March/April and September/October. People fast, do pujas (worship ceremonies), and dance to the rhythmic beats of Garba and Dandiya.

3) Holi (Festival of Colors): Holi is another popular Sanatan Dharma Celebration that occurs in the spring. People throw colors at each other, dance, and consume sweets and specialty cuisines. It celebrates the victory of good over evil and the start of spring.

4) Dussehra (Vijayadashami): Dussehra is a festival that honors the triumph of good over evil. It is observed on the tenth day after Navratri. People burn effigies of the demon lord Ravana to represent the annihilation of evil.

5) Ganesh Chaturthi: This is a ten-day festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, who is believed to remove obstacles and provide good prosperity. People place clay idols of Lord Ganesha in their homes and temples, do pujas, offer sweets and fruits, then immerse the idols in water on the last day.

6) Janmashtami: This festival celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, one of the most well-known deities in Sanatan Dharma. People observe fasts, perform pujas, and chant devotional hymns to Lord Krishna. They also crush a clay pot with butter and curd, known as dahi handi.

7) Maha Shivratri: This is a ceremony in praise of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Sanatan Dharma. People fast, perform pujas, and spend the entire night chanting mantras and singing devotional songs to Lord Shiva.

8) Makar Sankranti: This celebration commemorates the sun's entry into the Capricorn zodiac sign. It is observed yearly on January 14th and is also known as Uttarayan. People bathe in holy waters, fly kites, and cook traditional meals with sesame and jaggery.

9) Onam: This is a ten-day festival held in Kerala, southern India. It commemorates the legendary King Mahabali's return and is a harvest festival. People decorate their homes with flowers, prepare special dinners, and participate in cultural events.

10) Raksha Bandhan: This holiday celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters tie a rakhi (a holy thread) around their brothers' wrists, and the brothers promise to protect them from danger. People exchange sweets and gifts, and the festival emphasizes the importance of sibling relationships.

11) Pongal: This is a four-day festival celebrated in the state of Tamil Nadu, in southern India. It marks the end of harvest season and the beginning of the new year. Rangolis are used to decorate homes, cook special delicacies, and celebrate the sun deity and animals.

12) Mahavir Jayanti: This festival celebrates the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira, the founder of Jainism. It is widely celebrated in the Jain community, with people performing pujas, distributing sweets and fruits, and donating food and clothing to those in need. The event promotes peace, kindness, and the benefits of a simple, austere lifestyle. 

These are just a handful of the major Sanatan Dharma holidays and celebrations; many more differ by region and group. These festivals bring people together, promote unity and harmony, and provide chances for spiritual growth and personal transformation.

What is meant by Bodhivinayak

Worshipped as the bestow-er of boons and god of wisdom, Lord Ganesha is one of the supreme gods of Hindu mythology and religion.

He has quite many anecdotes revolving around him and he makes appearances in most of the mythological stories. One such very interesting instance is when maha-muni Veda Vyasa asked Lord Ganesha to pen down the great epic of Mahabharata.

Lord Ganesha agreed to do so on the condition that once Veda Vyasa begins to narrate the story, he would not stop and if he fails to do so, Lord Ganesha would walk away from the project. Veda Vyasa being aware of the Lord’s supreme abilities put forth another condition that Lord Ganesha would not take down any narration unless he fully understood it. That way, whenever maha-muni needed some rest, he would phrase a complex sentence that would need some time for Lord Ganesha to decipher.

Thus, began the writing of one of the greatest epics of all time- The Mahabharata. This instance is a fine example of how a guru’s tactfulness can bring to order a finicky mind.

Tale also has it that as Lord Ganesha was writing Mahabhrata, the nib of his pen broke off. He did not waste another moment and broke off his tusk to continue the task.

This is just one of the many instances of the wonders and glories of the Lord.

He is also known as the Lord who removes obstacles and puts one in the path of success. It is for this reason that at least one idol or painting of the Lord is found in every Hindu household, especially in the entrance hall to ward off any evil energy. A brief puja of the Lord is also performed before commencing any function or event to ensure fruitful results.

Did you know that there are several representations of Lord Ganesha and each has its own meaning and purpose? Read further to find out.

Sitting posture:

An often-depicted pose of the Lord is him sitting in Lalita Aasana. He is seated either on a Lotus or a throne with one leg folded and the other resting on the ground. This pose symbolises his interest in the worldly affairs of his devotees.

Standing posture:

With Ganesh Chaturthi just around the corner, you are sure to find this posture of the Lord in a number of Pandals. This posture is called Abhanga Aasana which literally means “not-bent”. It represents agility and attitude.

Sleeping posture:

This one depicts the Lord in a luxurious state where he is shown reclining against a pillow on a grand throne/sofa. This posture represents immense prosperity and is often found in workspaces and offices.

Dancing posture:

The Lord here is shown merrily dancing to his music. Such idols are said to bring in vibes of joy, happiness and vibrance.

Not just his posture but the position of his trunk also holds great significance.

Trunk turned right:

Called the Siddhi Vinayaka, such an idol where the trunk of the Lord is turned right is said to invoke the energy of the sun. Such idols are often found in temples as these need to be properly worshipped following all rituals and procedures.

Trunk turned left:

Contrary to Siddhi Vinayaka, this idol is said to invoke the energies of the moon and represents Ida Nadi. These are the type of idols often found in households as they are said to bring in peace and serenity.

Trunk being straight:

Such idols are a rare kind and they symbolise that the central axis of the human body is open. It conveys the message of alignment with oneself.

Mangalvar Vrat Katha – Reason, Method, and Story behind Tuesday’s Fast

Mangalvar vrat is a popular fast dedicated to Hanuman Ji on Tuesday. Vrat Katha is read or heard, and people also chant Hanuman Chalisa.

“भूत-पिशाच निकट नहीं आवे।

महावीर जब नाम सुनावे ।।”

The energy, courage, and fearlessness we get just by hearing these lines are out of this world. Lord Hanuman gives us the dare to fight every challenge in life, and his blessings can help humans to excel in life. Imagine if just his name can bring so much liveliness, what his day can do.

Tuesday (Mangalvar in Hindi) is a day for Lord Hanuman; believe it or not, this auspicious day has its own significance. Praying and fasting on this particular day, along with Mangalvar vrat katha, can bring happiness and prosperity.

What is the significance of Mangalvar vrat Katha

Indian mythology believes this vrat flows happiness, success, mental and physical strength, long life, and recovery from illness. Hanuman ji has considered one God present in the world till eternity, and this vrat is one of the simplest methods to seek his blessings. Couples who cannot conceive or are childless for a long period perform this fast to get blessed with a child.

Astrology suggests that a person with weak Mars in his horoscope should keep Mangalvar vrat to overcome the hurdles in life peacefully. It will also help reduce Mangal Dosha (Manglik dosh) with the grace of Hanuman Ji.

Besides mythology and astrology, fasting once a week can improve your metabolism and provide many health benefits.

How can I follow Mangalvar Vrat?

Alongside the significance and beliefs, this fast is blissful and calming, relieving stress and burdens and blessing humans with happiness and prosperity.

Devotees can start fasting on any Tuesday and continue it for 21 weeks. Keeping fast for 21 Tuesdays can vanish all your problems, and you can say goodbye to unforeseen life events.

The procedure is pretty simple as well;

Wake up, take a bath, and wear clean clothes (preferably red)

Sprinkle holy water of Ganga in the whole puja room

Light a diya with ghee and offer sindoor, flowers, betel leaf garland, sweets, and fruits to Hanuman ji

Sit comfortably and begin the puja vidhi. Worship Ganesha, Shree Ram, and Mata Sita, followed by Mangalvar vrat katha and Hanuman Chalisa. (According to Indian mythology Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of the Shree ram, and thus, offering prayers to him beforehand can please him in the simplest manner)

Devotees can also read Sundarkand to seek blissful blessings

Perform an aarti to complete your Puja. Then, distribute the offered sweets (Prasad) to your family.

Have food once in the whole day without onion or garlic and continue the procedure for the next 21 Tuesdays

Perform the same puja vidhi on the 22nd Tuesday and feed 21 Brahmins if possible and complete your fast

The story behind Mangalvar vrat

used to pray to Lord Hanuman to seek his blessings for a healthy child. Once, Nanda went to the dense jungle to pray to Hanuman ji to bless him with a child; on the other side, his wife used to pray to Hanuman ji daily. She used to keep fast on Tuesdays and offer food to Lord Hanuman before having any.

One fine Tuesday, she could not prepare food and feed Lord Hanuman due to another fast. She became sorrowful, slept on an empty stomach, and decided not to eat before offering food to Lord Hanuman until the following Tuesday. She went on fasting for the next six days without water and food.

She fainted early the next Tuesday due to hunger and starvation. Hanuman ji was impressed with her faith and belief and appeared before her. He blessed her with a little boy, Sunanda, named ‘Mangal.’ When her husband returned from the forest, he questioned her about the child, to which she replied with her side of the story.

The Brahim considering it hard to believe, was suspicious and refused to believe the same. One day, when Nanda was leaving for a bath, his wife asked him to take Mangal along, he agreed, but seeking a chance, he pushed the little child to a well

When Sunanda asked him about the child on his return, Mangal returned even before Nanda could respond. While Nanda couldn’t understand what had happened, he slept. Hanuman ji appeared in his dreams and clarified that his wife was right, and he blessed them with a little version of Lord Hanuman and how doubting his wife is a wrongful act of Nanda. After this, the Brahmin got happy, accepted his wife and their son, and the family lived happily. Sunanda continued her Tuesday fasts, and Hanuman ji continued his blessings on them.

Conclusion

To seek Lord Hanuman’s blessings, the most effortless process is the Mangalvar vrat. Change your fortune with this auspicious fasting and get Hanuman ji protection on your health and life.

Prohibition on Hindu rituals? Quran recitation? Halal meals? - What to expect in the coming years?

The latest edition of Kerala Schools Youth Festival just concluded at Kozhikode, Kerala. This year's festival was in the limelight, albeit for the wrong reasons. While the most talked about controversy was with regard to the veg meals served, there were other controversies as well. One such controversy largely went unreported in the mainstream media.

This was with regard to the Yakshaganam contest. Yakshaganam is a traditional folk theatre form of South Karnataka and Northern Kerala. Yakshaganam literally means divine music. Stories of Yakshaganam are usually drawn from Mahabharata, Ramayana and Bhagavata. It is believed that Yakshagana evolved from the ancient Bhutha-worship prevalent in South Karnataka and Northern Kerala. Remember Kantara, Bhutakola, Theyyam? Does it ring a bell?

This is what happened! There is a traditional ritual carried out by Yakshagana performers before they perform. This is called Chowki pooja. Chowki is basically the green room. In this ritual, the "Bhagavata" (the narrator/main performer) and supporting vocalists assemble before an image of Ganesha, chant invocations, offer coconuts, plantains and perform aarti or puja.

The invocation begins as follows

"Gajamukhadavage Ganapage chelva Trijagavanditanigaaratiyettire"

Translation: O, Lord Ganesha, the beautiful one with elephant’s face For you, worshipped in all the three worlds, we light this sacred flame

After receiving the "prasaada", the 'bhagavata' asks for the deity's/god's permission following which everyone proceeds to the stage. How beautiful! Isn't it? It turns out, that not everyone feels that way!

On the day of the contest, when the performers were doing the chowki puja, one of the organizers barged into the room and disrupted the ritual. It is alleged that the person forcefully blew out the lamp lit for the ritual saying that such pujas cannot be allowed here. Organizers didn't allow media inside, so this was not properly recorded or covered in the media. The performers protested following which police arrived. The performers refused to perform after this, but eventually relented and performed.

Yakshagana Guru, Madhava Nettanige said, "This kind of experience is the first in my 22 years of Yakshagana art life". He also staged a protest asking for an apology from the organizers. He said that even if they forgive the organizers, God will not.

The irony is that this is a festival where there is a contest for "Quran recitation". And no, there is no competition for "Gita recitation" or for that matter, reciting any other holy scripture of Hindus. These are all indicators of things to expect in the coming years! We can soon expect a festival where nonveg halal meals are served (with the exception of pork, for obvious reasons) even if they have to make compromises on the health and safety of children! And don't be surprised if they decide to remove traditional Hindu art forms, while Quran recitation and other Arab cultural contests will continue being normal and perfectly secular.

Hinduism under attack? That's for you to decide!

Ishqbaaz Liveblog, E3: A Really Good Premise

I finally understand the appeal of the show. It's the perfect mix of politics, family relationships with a hint of star-crossed-hate-love story. So far. It's like a darker version of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and I must say, it's really interesting and now I'm even more pissed that they ruined it! 

Again - another show that would've done exceedinly well had it ended a year earlier or been turned into seasons. If IPK is India's Pride and Prejudice, then Ishqbaaz could easily be India's Dynasty. 

Without further ado, here's the liveblog:

Episode 3 “A Really Good Premise”

- Wah, Shivaay has a habit of walking away! 

- Rudra, valid question that why Shivaay isn’t throwing Anika out!

- Om ka look - kuch toh hai. 

- Experience? Kamzori? 

- Dadi advice time. Lol, the advice went right over Rudra’s head. 

- Acha, Shivaay’s kamzori is his khandaan. Nafrat bhi rishta? I feel like Rudy right now! Thank God Dadi explained everything. 

- LOL, Anika being disappointed in a big party is ME! 

- HAHA LOL Anika!!!!!!!! She knows Shivaay (great) and her look.

- SVETLANA, TEJ, GET OUT OF MY LINE OF VISION!

- Home Minister - hello bald chacha!

- I must say, Shivaay is highly influenced (in terms of personality) by his Tej uncle. The skin level similarities are interesting to note. 

- Rudy and Om already stanning Anika. 

- Anika, don’t hold random poori without gloves #covid 

- Hahaha, hilarious miscommunication! 

- Wah, Rudy is half afraid of Anika’s tashnbaazi. OM IS SO IMPRESSED! I  am REALLY liking Anika right now! “Kha kar!” Wah, great use of puns!!!

- This Home Minister might get screwed over like Mool Rajani (I’m just searching for a Mool Rajani right now)

- Tej is dramatic AF. 

- Hahahahaha, Home Minister - you’re finding your nobility along with the coins - on the floor. 

- TEJ IS SO DRAMATIC. I like him for this! Dude can be an interesting character in the show!

- Mrs. Oberoi????? Ah ofc, the secretary. 

- POOR JHANVI - I’M WITH YOU AUNTY! I’LL POUR TEJ’S BLOOD INTO THE BUCKETS OF PAINT SHIVIKA LATER, MUCH LATER, MAKE OUT IN (that’s the blood of all the shitty people and that’s canon)

- It’s sad but true, in really rich societies people are really ok with infidelities and stuff like that. Ugh, seen these shit first hand. 

- JHANVI I’LL KILL TEJ AND SVETLANA FOR YOU. 

- TEJ - DIE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE! 

- Pandit ji, is it possible to burn Tej and Svetlana as offerings? We still do that?

- Lo, phirse Bhaiyon ka advertisement start.

- I must say, what mast paparazzi, I love all their advertisements. From songs to outfits, these kids are like “dude let our parents crap, we’ll coordinate our entry EVERY SINGLE TIME” Squad goals, legit. 

- This is Bharat Matrimony.

- Omkara Oberoi, “mere nazar aur nazariya roshni ki tarha hai. Ya toh hai, ya nahi.” Shayar, artist, will give really good hair genes to future children.

- Rudra Oberoi, “ARRE KAB TAK JAWAANI CHUPAAOGI RAANI, MUJHE KO KITNA SATAOGI RAANI (OR NATASHA, OR SHREYA, IDC ABOUT THE NAMES) MUJHSE SH- NOPE - FLIRTING KAROGI….. OH MUJHSE FLIRTING KARO JI!” Abs. The end.

- Shivaay Singh Oberoi “Who the fuck keeps on making my accounts?” *bam goes another phone*

- Dude, leave the girl alone too. Let her breathe. 

- YES ANIKA SAVE HER!

- Aye Haye, Shivaay didn’t forget his smallest bro either.

- Ok today’s poster is Om Jai Jagdish! 

- #Feelingdharmic. 

- Shivaay’s redeeming quality is the fact that he’s a really good brother.

 - YAY K3G scene strikes!

- I’m loving the aesthetic of the show as of yet - I still have questions as to what happens later. Very cohesive writing too. Usually first twenty five episodes are (cause that holds the pitch of the show and stuff)

- Meanwhile… Tej has grinned his molars to nothing, Pinky has done 50000 eye rolls, Svetlana doing random khusur pusur and Dadi just crying tears of happiness (I’m Dadi)

- OH NO, self burning live candle dude is coming on fore. 

- Dude, kisko jalana tha 

- aur kaun jal raha hai. 

- Yeah dude, Ganesh ji punishes paapis instantly. 

- Wait are the three bros lost in puja that they don’t see—

- WTF, damn that’s scary. 

- The End -

Well well well, I’m excited to liveblog the next episode! See you tomorrow (good thing this was queued). Also, what wouldn’t I have given to see IPK in this quality camera and INITIAL aesthetics (focus on initial, I have no idea what shit happens later in this show).
