Krishna (mystery academia)

I was inspired from that old Vishnu post and that Delhi vala post so here we go. No idea how this will turn up though par dekhte hain.

No, it can't be a dream. You have pinched yourself twice, and your sister has been calling your name out from the past five minutes, but you can't help yourself. Your eyes are transfixed at that giant grey cloud hovering majestically in the sky. A face is etched on the cloud. He looks enchanting.

Your books have fallen on the floor. A mysterious flute tune rings in your ear. You haven't heard it anywhere recently, but the melodious tune starts to grow too loud. Look carefully, who is the girl in a pink saree, her golden bangles blind your vision and you hear a boy's sweet laughter before your legs give out.

It's Janmashtami night. The clock struck 12 and kids from your society broke the pot. They jump around in getting some money from the dahi handi while the adults clap and call their kids to come home. Everybody chants jai shri krishna and bows down folding their hands. You too close your eyes. Once you raise your head to look at the Krishna murti, your eyes see a person standing behind the murti, twirling a flute with his nimble fingers. Someone snaps their fingers beside your ear. The figure vanishes.

'yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham' Goosebumps rise on your skin and a divine vision graces your being. The sun and the stars collide, but everybody keeps breathing. The sound of a conch fills your mind and you see someone larger than any human, than any other organism on earth stand in a battlefield. He looks fierce once and then in a blink turns as calm as a river.

'paritranaya sadhunam vinashayacha dushkritam dharma sansthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge' Tears flood down your eyes as you wake up from yet another dream of this all pervading misery encircling the world that has given itself to crimes and murders, forgetting that the quest for lust, greed, pride and ruthless power has gone in vain. Once again you stand on a battlefield witnessing hundreds and thousand of mighty warriors flanked by their elephants and horses. On your side stands one man. Just one man -- wielding a chakra and a large mace. He charges off at every soldier. In seconds bodies pile up on the battlefield and a guttural cry pierces your ears. The lone warrior clutches every fallen body and weeps.

The sweet smelling fragrant chandan makes you smile. The old temple priest, a gentle soul patiently applies tilak to all the devotees. After ten people comes your turn to apply the tilak. The priest's eyes brighten as if he has known you since long. You don't know him. This Krishna temple is far away from your home. The priest looks back at the beautifully decorated Krishna murti and smiles. You blink and turn your eyes to a pillar beside the garbhagriha. There stands a boy too gorgeous to be real, a form so enchanting that it etches itself on your eyes. You feel your heart thumping as the fragrant chandan clouds your senses. You are about to fall, but that lovely looking boy catches you in his arms. Flowers fall on your head and a sweet voice whispers, "Will you finally come back, sakhi?"

The night sky is full of stars tonight which is highly unusual for this busy city. Two stars gleam the brightest. You try to figure which constellation they belong too until hundreds of stars come together forming an image of a peacock feather.

At Prem Mandir in Vrindavan, you eagerly watch all the moving sculptures showing different pastimes of Krishna. Somewhere nearby, a group of ladies are singing Meerabai's songs. Your feet tap on their own accord and you feel yourself sway. When did you raise your arms to the sky and twirl? Nobody knows. Your family watches you laugh and dance in the temple. You look at no one but Krishna. The handsome boy from the temple is back again wearing bright yellow clothes -- not too hard to miss. A rough shake on your shoulders makes you open your eyes. The devotees in the temple are staring at you, but you blush in awareness of a certain dark one looking at you.

You sit gazing at the cool waters of Yamuna, the river which played an important role in Krishna's life. She saw his arrival into Gokul and his departure to Mathura. The texts and the old say that she later accompanied him as his wife to Dwaraka. You bow your head at her and dip your feet into the water. Nobody is at the ghat, it's all quiet and peaceful. Yamuna cools your body and a sense of calmness pervades your mind. You feel yourself slipping somewhere. The river like a gentle mother's touch touches your skin. "Do not fear, friend."

The car is about to cross the borders of Vrindavana. You feel your heart cry for an unknown separation. All these nights, you heard female voices whispering, "do not leave." At dawn you woke up with the sounds of a flute and sometimes your evenings were blessed with a boy gracing your hotel's terrace at sunset. He carried a peacock feather with him. You never shared a word with him nor did he with you. The steep silence yet felt comfortable.

Should I stay? Should I go? Should I call that boy and say goodbye, but how do I find him? What is this feeling in my heart? I feel it break into pieces. The driver caught your eye in the mirror and you hear a screeching break, The small flute replica hits the backside of the mirror and there you see a divine view once again.

Surrounded by cows, his feet crossed, he stands with a flute donning yellow garbs. You see the sun and the moon in his eyes. The universe gleams in his limbs. He appears magnificent. The divine sound of the conch rings again and you fall at his feet. 'I am all yours, Shyam.'

'Glad to have you back finally sakhi...' Red palms touch your forehead and the figure in front shines with bright white light like a halo around him. A lotus flower is placed on the last page of your book over Krishna's photo. The afternoon sky is now grey and far away you see a dark cloud emerging towards you.

"It shall start again, isn't it?"

Mayavan and Mayamohini

Nappinnai in Ponniyin Selvan. Read here.

When Vanthiyathevan reaches Kadambur on the 18th day of Adi, people are celebrating the monsoon festival of Adi Perukku. But that year, there is something more special about Aadi Perukku.

Yes, today is the birth star of Andal. And it coincides with the eighteenth day of Adi, which is why there is such jubilation.

He starts dreaming about Krishnan, Andal pasurams and a death in the royal family even before he knows about the conspiracy, Nandini or her history.

A priest armed with a scimitar emerged from behind the statue of Kali, whose mouth was a gaping gash . . . “That means you’re unfit to be sacrificed. Go on, run,” said the priest. Kannan suddenly took Kali’s place. Two girls holding garlands danced in his shrine, singing Andal’s pasurams.

After this, Alwarkadiyan tells him about his sister Nandini and her extreme devotion. When Vanthiyathevan exhorts her to return to Krishna bhakti, she replies that she doesn't deserve it.

Then he goes to Pazhayarai to give Karikalan's message to Kundavai and people are celebrating another event there.

Aha! That’s what it is! It is Sri Krishna Jayanthi, Krishna’s birthday, that they are celebrating with such joy.

He sees and hears various songs, plays and even plays Kamsa in a street performance. Funnily, none of these are about the birth of baby Krishnan. Rather, all are about Mayavan (the Tamil equivalent of Mohana), the Great Enchanter.

Vanthiyathevan as Kamsa: Adel Krishna. Your magic won’t work with me. I am going to kill you right now. I am going to kill your brother Balarama. And your father Vasudeva too.

(Foreshadowing about Uncle Maduranthakan's Conspiracy and Pandya Murder conspiracy, together)

Kundavai's companions dancing to Aachiyar Kuravai (Nappinnai dancing with Krishna):

If that Mayavan [enchanter], Kannan, who once Used a calf sent to kill him :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: If that Mayavan who once Broke the tree which was but a demon

Another one:

The great Lord, Mayavan, who appeared as a god and clasped the entire world in his navel with its flowering lotus . . .

When Vanathi is lost in a song about a girl waiting for Kannan, Kundavai scolds her. We will revisit this later.

Initially one would think that this is about Vanthiyathevan's adventures but after Vanthiyathevan goes to Lanka with Arulmozhi's scroll, there are no notable mentions of the Great Enchanter until Karikalan makes an appearance again.

Nandini starts talking about Mayakkanan who enchants and disappears (see the post about Nappinnai for details). When Karikalan asks Manimegalai to sing non-religious love songs, she sings about another (secular) enchanter, moving Nandini to inconsolable tears.

Is that all a dream, my friend The time we spent together On the slopes of the mountain Besides the waterfalls Beneath the shadow of fruit-laden trees When he held my hand And we were both lost in happiness Is that all a dream, my friend Or just a thought in my mind?

In the grove of punnai trees Under the golden rays of the evening sun He called me near And whispered words of love In my ears Is that all a dream my friend Is that miracle nothing but a lie?

Defying all security Like a thief he walked in stealth And with boundless love Held me in embrace And smothered me with kisses Did it happen? Weren’t we happy? Is that all a dream, my friend Or just a thought in my mind?

If this one isn't enough, Kalki says that she sang multiple songs like this. Seriously, Manimegalai? 😤  And why is Nandini crying when she heard about some lovers making out in secret? Very fishy.

Rational Kundavai absolutely hates this enchanter aspect of Krishnan. When Vanathi is listening to such a song on Janmashtami, she scolds Vanathi and disses Mayavan.

Good Lord! And he came to Tamilnadu as our God! If he has been stealing butter, playing the flute and spending time with the women, where will he have time for other things in life? . . . Why are you so silent? Have you too become enchanted with Kannan’s flute?

She has the same opinion about her brother.

But now I have lost hope. Adithan is a great warrior. One of the most valiant men of our times. But he can’t keep his mind under his control.

This Greater Enchanter disappears from the novel after Karikalan's death. Nandini is frequently labelled as the enchantess, the Mohini. If Nandini is Mayamohini, then Karikalan is Mayavan. Though both accuse each other of enchanting them and disappearing, the irony is that Mayavan and Mayamohini aren't different - they are just two aspects of the same God.

N. B. Another person Aditha Karikalan is constantly compared to is Aravan, Mohini's husband. In Tamil versions of the Mahabharatam, by Peruntevanar and later by Villiputtur and Nallappillai, Arjunan's son Aravan offers himself as a sacrifice to Kali to ensure victory for the Pandavas. He asks for three boons before he dies, of which one is that he should be married before his death. Since no parent would give a daughter to one who is about to be killed, Krishna appears as Mohini and marries Aravan for a night.

Today is Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna.

Fun fact: I don't know since when I have loved krishna. There used to be this cartoon called Little Krishna and I used to cry if people didn't let me watch it or changed the channel. My parents knew I couldn't be disturbed then. I used to sing songs related to him. I used to draw him as a kid too and literally read EVERYTHING about him.

Krishna and Radhas love story is something that I hold so so so close to my heart. I was watching clips of this TV series based on them and there were so many things that stood out.

"I would easily go to hell if that meant Krishna is okay."

"Radha is, so I am. Where she ends, I start. Where she goes, I follow. We are one."

"I don't know anything other than to love you."

"No promise, no rule is greater than loving krishna."

There's so so so many more.

Don't they remind you of Mavid? They are reckless fools. They are daring. They are mischievous. They were destined. I love them. I can rant about them all day long.

I am going to flood you with more such dialogues now, im sorry, you ll have to bear it🤷‍♀️

I love Krishna and Radha 🥺🥺🥺

[kanha-mohana]

hii hope you're doing well!

what are the signs you're talking about in this post? https://www.tumblr.com/kanha-mohana/726456497970806785/for-him-to-play-the-flute-for-us-th-i-think-hes?source=share

I'm new to this and I'd like to know if there are any that I've come across and haven't realised.

have a good day <3

Hey sweetheart (I can call you that right?) <3

The signs I talked about are just simple stuff like suddenly your love for Kanha grows and suddenly he's all you notice around you. Like in my case, ever since I embraced the gopi in me more there's somehow always talk or stuff of Kanha around me. It might be Gita shlokas that I hear all of a sudden, or just the incidents songs about him growing in serials or stuff? Or my FYP being filled with Kanha and other related things, or even my friends taking an interest in Vrindavan and things like that. Like I'll give you a solid example. So I've been to Vrindavan 4 times this year alone, and my family and I plan to go there again probably around Navratri or somthing once the Janmashtami/Radhashtami crowds lessen. I'm almost always thinking of him one way or another and somehow my parents and sister are also always talking of him, and funny thing? I mentioned this in a previous post recently too but there's this uncle we met in Vrindavan who became friends with my dad, and he's always calling him up and saying, "Visit again soon, you're all being missed here" so much so that since we can't go this month bc my sister has exams, he HIMSELF got on a bus and came to meet us instead. And he's apparently never really stepped out of UP or something like that, so he did just to meet us. A person from Vrindavan. My parents always joke whenever he calls saying Kanha is himself saying he misses us, and when this man came to visit my dad said, "Kanha is coming for a visit to our house." And then yesterday my friend post photos and he apparently went to Vrindavan (without telling me, that jerk) and you see how there's suddenly stuff related to Vrindavan happening around me? Those are what I take as signs that he's calling again.

Like, I know this might sound crazy, but the law of attraction does say you attract that which you desire/love most so if he's the one I desire most this has to be me attracting all this Kanha-related vibes. That's it, happens to all of us, it's different for everyone but it does happen.

Oh and that's not all, there's many more signs that are much more personal, so much so they may sound crazy. They even sound crazy to me sometimes lol. But remember one thing, they don't always have to good merry and happy. Sometimes they can be hurtful or make you sad or confused too. Happened with me a while back too, but it's okay, they're a part of it. Bc as they say, love is never easy so if you're embracing your love for the feather boy, ofc he's going to be a little tease, especially if you're new to this and can't figure out stuff yet. Sometimes you might not understand what you're feeling or why you're feeling this way, but they're all signs of love. Don't worry💖

The Timeless Charm of Nathdwara: Exploring Beyond the Temple

[jukti-torko-golpo]

Dearest Chandramukhi,

This letter is being written here because this little corner of Tumblr has seen me at my lowest and then seen me heal. It has also seen me pray and find God. God orchestrated this healing journey and for that They sent you to me. And to think that this day coincided with Janmashtami this year...maybe Their blessings are with us.

It is finally 1 whole year of us being together, but it has been so strange. Everyday I have felt like I have known you for ages. A strange familiarity, a strange sense of belonging together...I had never thought that I would get it...heck, I had lost my faith on love. You brought it back.

We have our differences, we totally do and it is very natural to have these differences. But we need to keep doing what we have been doing for the last one year...understand those differences, keep calm and come midway to find a common path.

Also stop annoying me.

I have never felt at home with someone as much as I feel with you. You are a place of solace for me. I had never been so sure about anyone either. With you, I envision a future....our future. A home that we will build, a creative journey that we will take together...A life that we will live together.

I have always been over cautious about committing big things. And by the end of the first year...absolutely not. But something about you made me very sure. Something about you felt very right.

I love how you understand my spiritual views.

I love how you support me through thick and thin.

I love how your hugs feel like home.

I love how you can calm me down.

I love how you look at me.

I love how you had called me ekam adwitiyam.

I love how I can cry to you.

I love how you had almost melted onto the floor near that water cooler.

I love how you had offered me that strategic bourneville

I love how you had sung me the doraemon theme song when I was sick.

I love the way you love me.

I love you.

I do not belong to you. Neither do you belong to me. But we belong together.
