[krsnaradhika]

I know I'm gonna attract a lot of speeches and stuff with this statement but I'll tell you something-

Both Arjuna and Kanha are incarnations of Shri Narayana so shipping them with each other romantically is not fun y'all (they are also the twin sages Nara and Narayana so that makes it more yikes? Twincest bro? Why?)

It's weird, and while I do fully support the lgtbq+ (bhai I'm demisexual myself), please don't insert it in itihāsa scriptures where it's not. Yes, I know about Sudyumna and Ila and how King Bhagiratha was born. Even Khajuraho has homoerotic sculptures and yes the community deserves respect just as any heterosexual personality does. Yes hinduism embraces homosexuality openly and there's nothing to be ashamed of it. But jahan hai vahan hai, jahan nahi don't put it there. Imagine labeling a person with wrong pronouns and wrong sexuality, not respectful right? Why do it with divine people? I know Kanha's everybody's buddy here and I'm nobody to tell people how they should worship him and what bhāva should they harbour, but like? It's not canon? Don't do it? People can be platonically very affectionate with each other and we should normalise it? And not term them as someone they're not? Fandom nahi hai bro, culture hai, dharma hai. Jise dhaaran kiya jaye, vahi dharma hai. Our ethics, morals and principles are our dharma. We have evidences of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. So it's not like they're fictional, are they? I know Tumblr pe we're all having fun and aisa hota hai yahan, I myself adore #ParAv very much but seriously writing smut on them? Making sexual jokes? Painting them as some people they're not? Why? Just because a large number of people are doing it, doesn't make it right.

The sons of Draupadi were always told they looked like their fathers- but they weren't identical. They had their own traits, but they greatly reflected their fathers.

That's why they were called the UpaPandavas, after all.

It had been a source of pride for them, to hear that they were like shadows of their fathers- some of the greatest warriors to walk on earth.

It had been a source of comfort for them, growing up, to see similarities between them and their fathers in the mirror in their absence.

They'd got countless remarks on that. Perhaps, accompanied by a pat on the back, a hand ruffling their hair, or an arm swung around their shoulders, along with gentle chuckles, teasing giggles or roaring laughter.

Their fathers had always doted on them- and how similar their sons were to them- yet still had a charm-

Whenever their mother would see them, she'd always pout and remark how they barely got any of her traits, but in the end would always end up showering them in affection.

But for the first time, it is a source of pure agony for everyone, as their tent is being engulfed in fierce flames.

For the first time, they wondered, why did their have to be so similar to their fathers.

Seems like the answer is the same as it is for a lot of other ancient epics/writings. For instance the Mahabharata from India is traditionally attributed to Vyasa, a sage who actually tells the story within the story. Vyasa was almost certainly a real person at some point, but it would be literally impossible for him to have actually "written" the Mahabharata because it was composed over the course of like 700 years. Originally it wasn't even known by that name, it was the Jaya Samhita or just Jaya meaning "Victory". Later it was added onto and grew significantly in length and became the Bharata (India's name in Sanskrit is Bharat, this book is effectively a legendary history of India). And then over another couple of centuries several traditions, including important texts like the Bhagavad Gita, find a home in the story and it becomes known as the fifth Veda, leaving us with the longest poem in the ancient world, the Mahabharata (loosely translated as the account of Greater India or the history of man). The tradition still says that Vyasa wrote it, even though everyone understands that that isn't officially true, it's part of the same legendary nature of the story as Garuda fighting the Nagas or Arjuna ascending to heaven to get spiritual weapons.

Another example is the Torah or Pentateuch from Israel's history. Traditionally these are attributed to Moses, but we don't have to guess that multiple versions ended up being conflated together because we have actual different versions floating around from sufficiently ancient sources. Of course in the ancient world they didn't have luxuries that we have like printing presses, digital communication, or ya know, the internet, so everything got passed by word of mouth for centuries leading to different cults that put things down slightly differently. Then a new king comes along and the stories change to reflect how they feel about that king, so a passage in spliced into the middle or a different line is removed. Maybe it becomes really hard to get a particular food in a new region so the text is gently modified to change strict dietary standards. This continues in isolation for hundreds of years, leading to greater writings than can be accomplished by one guy at one time. Then by the time writing became a common tool, some of those versions got put down into something more concrete, and then after that adherents of the belief system had to fight over which interpretation was the "correct" one.

But for me personally, the journey is part of what makes the final construction kind of beautiful. You can see what was important in different eras, what lessons our predecessors were trying to correct from before. It gives me the same thrill I get just from looking at a modern writers' evolution of a plot from an early draft to some massively different take by the end. Was Homer real? Probably, there are a lot of ancient accounts of him. Did he write 2+ poems? I can't imagine he didn't. Are those the same poems we have now............yeah probably not, but that's okay! Even if it's not Homer himself that we have preserved, it is a greater Greek tradition and society that have become immortalized into the molds that we ended up with. It helps make us part of the story, rather than just observing it from the outside.

Hey you seem to know a lot more about this than I do so I’m hoping you can help. Was Homer actually real? I’ve heard contrasting stories and I know what my emotional attachments would like to be the truth but I don’t actually know what the scholarly consensus is. Additionally if he was real, did he/they/whomever write more beyond the Iliad and the Odyssey? Trying to expand my Greek epics beyond the two big ones (although to be clear, I love them both). Thanks for any help you can give!

woahh hey anon. love that you've come to me for this. the person my greek lit prof did not love because i would only read the texts and none of the context...

this is not a question that has a yes/no answer unfortunately. from what i remember (when i studied this like 6 years ago??) sure (!?!?!) is the simplest answer. because long before the epics were written down (8th/7th cent BCE) they were oral poems for possibly many hundreds of years.

the yes scenario:

imagine for a moment that you're a guy homer and it's the 11th century BCE. you compose 2 (or more) really cool epic poems. they're so good that other bards learn them and they're repeated long after your death. all the way until writing is invented and everyone is like. my gods, this will be perfect to finally immortalise homer's poems.

In this scenario there's problems, particularly; are we really certain that the words written down in the 8th century are the exact same ones uttered by a guy generations earlier?

that's not a hypothetical we're quite sure it's a no. there were different versions floating around in antiquity, i believe (though may be wrong) that the versions of the iliad and odyssey we have today were codified in athens somtime in the 6th (?????) century.

so even in the 'yes, homer is a completely real guy who wrote 2+ poems, the version that we have today is not the work of one man, but countless communities and people who have all added and changed the stories to fit meter, culture, and current events.

The no scenario is simpler:

homer didn't write the original epics. maybe he's just the guy who wrote them down. maybe a disciple of homer did. maybe he wrote one but not the other. maybe homer was a woman. maybe homer never existed but by spending millenia attributing the poems to him we've made a god and homer is real but only because we believe. maybe a million things.

I'm really sorry that my answer is essentially ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but it is what is. pick the answer you like the most, argue it to the death with everyone you know. that's the classics way

As for other homeric works,

you're in more luck. i must confess to not be super well versed in the entire homeric cycle or the homeric hymns. I don't believe any of these works are actually attributed to homer but they're all written about similar topics/in the same style.

most are lost i'm p sure which is super sad, i have however read the homeric hymns to demeter and hermes, i thought they were super fun. love demeter nearly damning humanity to eternal winter, love hermes being born and immidiately deciding to cause problems.

if anyone more knowledgable than i wants to let me know if any of that was horribly wrong, do let me know!

Charak

Charak

Ayurvedic scientist Rusi Charak is a leading Ayurvedic scientist. He is considered the father of Ayurveda. He developed the use of Ayurveda in ancient India in 1000 BC. His book Charak Samhita is an ancient book on Ayurvedic medicine. It is divided into eight sections. It has 120 chapters. Today, more than three thousand years ago, Ayurveda was introduced in the country. Among the great Ayurvedic scientists who in the past were able to excel in Indian medical science with the help of their miraculous talents were the Russians Atreya, Charak, Sushruta, Baghvatt. Ayurveda can be used to find out which medicines are available for which ailments and how to lead a healthy life by following a simple and great approach. He is also well known as the author of the Charak Code. According to ancient sources, he was a resident of Kapisthal village in Charak Panchanad area. He is thought to have lived in Kapurthala in modern Punjab. In the Mahabharata poetry, the Punjab region is called the Panchanada. Charak is also known as the "father of Indian medicine". Charak was born into a Hindu-Brahmin family. The Charak Samhita is said to have been written during the Dwapar period. Legend has it that Charak Rusi learned Vedic teachings from Brahma, Dhanwantari, Indra, Ashwini Kumar, Bharadwaj, Atreya, Agniveshya, and so on.

 Legend-- It is said that the creator Brahma described the healing butterfly to the skilled butterfly. When humans in the mortal realm suffered from various ailments, they took refuge in Bharadwaj Rusi, who practiced asceticism in the Himalayas. With the help of meditation, Bharajwaj realized that it was in the court of Devaraja Indra that learning the medical scriptures from the skilled butterfly would benefit the globe. So he left his fat body and went to heaven to study this scripture. Returning from there, he gave this scripture to Atrei Rusi. Atreya Rusi first wrote the Ayurvedic scriptures about a thousand years before the birth of Christ. It is known as the Atreya Code. Charak Rusi was one of those who taught Atrei. Ayurvedic scriptures were rewritten by Acharya Charak. Therefore, Charak is said to be the birthplace of true Ayurvedic science.

Charak and Ayurveda-- Jaya's scholars or Jaya's physicians are called "charak". Charak's translation suggests that health and disease cannot be predicted and that longevity can be improved by improving one's lifestyle and by trying one's best. According to ancient Indian tradition and Ayurveda, prevention is more important than cure. Therefore, man can be completely healthy if he changes his daily lifestyle according to time, season and natural environment. In the field of medicine, the idea of ​​"better care than medicine" or "better prevention than medicine" is clearly reflected in the writings of Charak. Acharya Charak said:    Even with the help of the lamp of knowledge, if a doctor is unable to enter the patient's body, he cannot cure the patient. It is important to know about the environment and other factors that affect the condition or the condition of the body, and what drugs should be used. Therefore, it is important to eliminate the cause of the disease rather than taking the medicine. Charak also has many contributions in the fields of physiology, pathology, and embryology. Charak is the first physician to have published information on digestive function, digestion, immunity, and secretion. There are three types of defects in the human body, such as rheumatism, bile, and phlegm, and the body is controlled by them. Bile, Phlegm, and Wind are also found in modern Western medical sciences. These defects are caused by the action of metals such as blood, flesh and bones in the body on the food it absorbs. One and the same amount of food can cause different defects in different bodies. So all the bodies are different and so the body's immune system and treatment can also be different. He further added that the balance of the three defects in the human body is affected by the imbalances in the human body. So he also mentions a variety of medications to maintain balance in the body. He was aware of the presence of bacteria in his body, but did not take it seriously. According to him, the virus is one of the causes of the disease, but it is not the only cause. Bacteria have the opportunity to grow when defects in the body and the balance of metals are lost. He encouraged ordinary people as well to take part in solving this great task: "One of the things you and other people can do is keep up the pressure ... there are going to be some difficult decisions for government". Charak also learned about the internal and external structure of the body and the various organs. He said there were 380 different types of bones in the body, including teeth. He identified the heart as a body control center. "The heart is connected to all parts of our body through 13 different connective tissue," he said. In addition to these tubes, there are many thinner tubes in the body, which perform the function of transmitting metal salts to the body and removing waste from the body. He also opined that any disruption to the flow of these canals could lead to disease and disability in the body.

[bhakti-yoga]

Srimati Radharani’s Appearance Day Lecture By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada [August 30, 1968, Montreal, Canada] Now today is our Radhastami ceremony. So, so far Radharani, Radharani, today is the birthday of Srimati Radharani. Radharani is the pleasure potency of Krsna. Krsna is the Supreme Brahman. Just try to understand. Krsna is the Supreme Brahman. Param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan. So when param brahma wants to enjoy… that enjoying spirit is there in the param brahma. Otherwise we cannot have this enjoying spirit. Because we are part and parcel, therefore we have got that enjoying spirit, but that is materially contaminated. But the fact is there, because Krsna, He is enjoying. This enjoying spirit we have got also, but I do not know how to enjoy. We are trying to enjoy in the matter, in the dull matter. That is spiritual. So brahman sukhanubhutya. People are trying to feel what is brahmasukha, pleasure of brahmanubhava. That is not material pleasure. So many yogis, they have given up their family life, their kingdom, and meditating to achieve that Brahman pleasure. Actually, the idea is Brahman pleasure. So many brahmacaris, so many sannyasis, they are trying to achieve that Brahman pleasure, and in order to achieve that Brahman pleasure they are neglecting, they are kicking off all this material pleasure. Do you think that Brahman pleasure is ordinary, this material pleasure? To achieve a portion of Brahman pleasure, if they are kicking off all this material pleasure… don’t talk of ourselves, we are ordinary men. In the history we have got instances, that of Bharata Maharaja. Bharata Maharaja, under whose name this planet is called Bharatavarsa. That Bharata Maharaja was the emperor of the whole world. And as emperor he had his beautiful wife, young children. But at the age of twenty-four years, just young man, he gave up everything. All right. This is very old story, of course, but you know Lord Buddha. He was also a prince. He was also prince, not ordinary man, and he was ksatriya, and he was always enjoying with beautiful women. That is the palace pleasure accustomed in every, in Oriental countries, that in the palace there are many beautiful girls, they’re always dancing and giving pleasure to the kings and the prince. So Lord Buddha was also in such pleasure, but he gave up everything and began to meditate. There are many hundreds of instances in Indian history that to realize the Brahman pleasure they gave up everything. They gave up everything. That is the way. Tapasya means voluntarily accepting something severe for realizing the supreme pleasure. That is called tapasya. So if, for tasting a little Brahman pleasure, all materialistic pleasures are to be given up, do you think that the Supreme Brahman, Lord Krsna, is enjoying this material pleasure? Is it very reasonable? This Krsna, He’s enjoying… laksmi-sahasra-sata-sambhrama-sevyamanam. Hundreds and thousands of goddess of fortune are engaged in His service. Do you think these Laksmis are material women? How Krsna can take pleasure in the material women? No. This is mistake. Ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhis tabhir ya eva nija-rupataya kalabhih. In the Brahma-samhita you’ll find that He expands His ananda-cinmaya-rasa, the mellow of transcendental pleasure potency. And these gopis are expansion of His pleasure potency. And Radharani is the center. Radharani is the center. So Radharani is not… don’t take that Radharani is an ordinary woman like we have our wife or sister or mother. No. She is the pleasure potency. And the birth of Radharani was not from the womb of any human being. She was found by her father in the field. While father was plowing, he saw one little nice child is lying there, and he had no children, so he caught it and presented to the queen, “Oh, here we have got a very nice child.” “How you got?” “Oh, in the field.” Just see. Radharani’s janma is like that. So this janma is today and Radha, this name is sometimes not found in Bhagavata. So the atheistic class of men protest this Radharani’s name is not in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. How this name came, Radharani? But they do not know how to see it. There is anayaradhyate. There are many gopis, but there is mention that by this particular gopi He is served more pleasingly. Krsna accepts this gopi’s service more gladly. Anayaradhyate. Aradhyate. This aradhate, this word, aradhyate means worshiping. From this word aradhyate, Radha has come. But Radha’s name are there in other Puranas. So this is the origin. So Radha, so Radha and Krsna. Krsna is the enjoyer and He wants to enjoy. So He’s the Supreme Brahman. He cannot enjoy anything, atmarama, He can enjoy it in Himself. Therefore Radharani is the expansion of His pleasure potency. Krsna hasn’t got to seek external things for His pleasure. No. He is in Himself full, atmarama. So Radharani is expansion of Krsna. Krsna is the energetic, and Radharani is the energy. Just like energy and energetic, you cannot separate. Fire and the heat you cannot separate. Wherever there is fire there is heat, and wherever there is heat there is fire. Similarly, wherever there is Krsna there is Radha. And wherever there is Radha there is Krsna. They are inseparable. But He is enjoying. So Svarupa Damodara Gosvami has described this intricate philosophy of Radha and Krsna in one verse, very nice verse: radha-krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini-saktir asmad ekatmanav api bhuvi pura deha-bhedam gatau tau. So Radha and Krsna is the one Supreme, but in order to enjoy, They have divided into two. Again Lord Caitanya joined the two into one. Caitanyakhyam prakatam adhuna. That one means Krsna in the ecstasy of Radha. Sometimes Krsna is in ecstasy of Radha. Sometimes Radha is in ecstasy of Krsna. This is going on. But the whole thing is Radha and Krsna means the one, the Supreme. So Radha-Krsna philosophy is a very great philosophy. It is to be understood in the liberated stage. Radha-Krsna philosophy is not to be understood in the conditioned stage. But when we worship Radha-Krsna in our conditional stage, actually we worship Laksmi-Narayana. You have seen that picture, this viddhi-marg and raga-marg. Radha-Krsna worship is on the platform of pure love, and Laksmi-Narayana worship is on the regulative principles. So long we do not develop our pure love, we have to worship on the regulative principles. One has to become a brahmachari, one has to become a sannyasi, one has to perform the worship in this way, in the morning he has to rise, he has to offer. So many rules and regulations. There are at least sixty-four rules and regulations. So we shall introduce them gradually as you develop. So in the viddhi-marg, when you have no love for God or Krsna, we have to follow the regulative principles and automatically there is practice. When practicing. Just like you practice this mrdanga playing. In the beginning it is not in order, but when you become well versed in the practice, the sound will come so nice. Similarly, when we are engaged by regulative principles in the worship of Radha-Krsna, that is called viddhi-marg. And actually when you are on the love platform, then that is called raga-marg. So without viddhi-marg, if anyone wants to learn the raga-marg immediately, that is foolishness. That is foolishness. Nobody can pass M.A. examination without going through the regulative principles of primary schools and colleges. So therefore I do not, I mean to say, indulge in the discussions of Radha and Krsna so easily. Rather go on with the regulative principle at the present moment. Gradually, as you become purified, as you become on the transcendental platform, you’ll understand what is Radha-Krsna. Don’t try to understand Radha-Krsna very quickly. It is a very big subject. If we want to understand Radha-Krsna very quickly, then there will be so many prakrita-sahajiyas. In India there are prakrita-sahajiya. Just like Radha-Krsna dancing. Radha-Krsna has become a plaything. The painting Radha-Krsna, Krsna is kissing Radha, Radha is kissing. These are all nonsense. Radha-Krsna philosophy has to be understood by the liberated person, not by the conditioned soul. So we shall await for the fortunate moment when we are liberated, then we shall understand radha-krishna-pranaya-vikrtir. Because Krsna and Radha, They are not on the material field. Try to understand. This is Jiva Gosvami’s analysis, that Krsna is the Supreme Brahman. The Supreme Brahman cannot accept anything material. So Radha is not in the material field. Now there is a very nice song. I shall sing if you can play on the harmonium. Yes. This is Rupa Gosvami’s song: radhe jaya jaya madhava-dayite gokula-taruni-mandala-mahite damodara-rati-vardhana-vese hari-niskuta-vrnda-vipinese vrsabhanu-dadhi-nava-sasi-lekhe lalita-sakhi guna-ramita-visakhe karunam kuru mayi karuna-bharite sanaka-sanatana-varnita-carite radhe jaya jaya madhava-dayite This song was sung by Rupa Gosvami. He is the real person, actual person, to understand Radha and Krsna. So he says, “All glories to Radharani.” radhe jaya jaya madhava-dayite. “She’s so dear to Krsna.” Krsna, everyone is trying to love Krsna, but Krsna is trying to love somebody. Now how great She is. Just try to understand. Everyone, the whole world, the whole universe, all living entities, they are trying to love Krsna. Krsna-prema. Lord Caitanya describes, prema-pumartho mahan. And Rupa Gosvami described that “You are distributing krsna-prema.” So krsna-prema is so valuable, but Krsna is after Radharani. Just see how Radharani is great. Just try to understand the greatness of Radharani. Therefore She is so great, and we have to offer our respect. Radhe jaya jaya madhava-dayite. How She is? Gokula-taruni-mandala-mahite. Taruni, taruni means young girls. You’ll see the pictures, they are all young girls. But of all the young girls, She is the most beautiful. She is enchanting to the young girls also. She is so beautiful. Gokula-taruni-mandala-mahite, damodara-rati-vardhana-vese. And She always dresses Herself so nicely that Damodara, Krsna, becomes attracted by Her beauty. Hari-niskuta-vrnda-vipinese. And She is the only lovable object of Krsna, and She is the “Queen of Vrndavan.” This “Queen of Vrndavan” you’ll find in Vrndavan, if you go to Vrndavan, everyone is worshiping Radharani. Rani means queen. They are always speaking, “Jaya Radhe!” Radharani. All the devotees in Vrndavan, they are worshiper of Radharani. Hari-niskuta-vrnda-vipinese, vrsabhanu-dadhi-nava-sasi-lekhe. And She appeared as the daughter of King Vrsabhanu, and Her companion, Lalita-sakhi and Visakha-sakhi, and the devotees. So on behalf of the pure devotees of Krsna, Rupa Gosvami is praying, karunam kuru mayi karuna-bharite. “Oh, my worshipable Radharani, You are full of mercy. So I am begging of Your mercy because You are so merciful, very easily You offer, bestow Your mercy. So I am begging Your mercy.” Karunam kuru mayi karuna-bharite, sanaka-sanatana-varnita-carite. Now somebody may say, “Oh, you are so great, learned scholar, you are so great saintly person, and you are begging mercy from an ordinary girl? How is that?” Therefore Rupa Gosvami says, “Oh, this is not ordinary girl.” Sanaka-sanatana-varnita-carite. “This girl’s description is possible to be made by great saintly persons like Sanaka-Sanatana. She is not ordinary.” So the lesson is that we should not treat Radharani as ordinary girl, or Krsna as ordinary man. They are the Supreme Absolute Truth. But in the Absolute Truth, there is the pleasure potency, and that is exhibited in the dealings of Radha and Krsna. And Radha’s expansion all the gopis, and Krsna is the Supreme Lord. Thank you very much. Chant Hare Krsna. Source: http://www.dandavats.com/

About Hypothyroidism-

Hypothyroidism Ayurvedic Treatment, also called underactive thyroid disease, is a common disorder. With hypothyroidism, your thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone.

The thyroid gland is located in the front lower part of your neck. Hormones released by the gland travel through your bloodstream and affect nearly every part of your body, from your heart and brain to your muscles and skin.

The thyroid controls how your body’s cells use energy from food, a process called metabolism. Among other things, your metabolism affects your body’s temperature, your heartbeat, and how well you burn calories. If you don’t have enough thyroid hormone, your body processes slow down. That means your body makes less energy, and your metabolism becomes sluggish.

The sign and symptoms of hypothyroidism vary, depending on the severity of the hormone deficiency. But in general, any problems tend to develop slowly, often over a number of years.

Hypothyroidism Signs And Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism May Include

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. “Thyroiditis” is an inflammation of the thyroid gland. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder. With Hashimoto’s, your body produces antibodies that attack and destroy the thyroid gland. Thyroiditis may also be caused by a viral infection.

Other causes of hypothyroidism include Radiation therapy to the neck area. Treating certain cancers, such as lymphoma, requires radiation to the neck. Radiation damages the cells in the thyroid. This makes it more difficult for the gland to produce the hormone.Radioactive iodine treatment. This treatment is commonly prescribed to people who have an overactive thyroid gland, a condition known as hyperthyroidism. However, radiation destroys the cells in the thyroid gland. This usually leads to hypothyroidism. Use of certain medications.

Certain medicines to treat heart problems, psychiatric conditions, and cancer can sometimes affect the production of thyroid hormone. These include amiodarone (Cordarone), lithium, interferon alpha, and interleukin-2.Thyroid surgery. Surgery to remove the thyroid will lead to hypothyroidism. If only part of the thyroid is removed, the remaining gland may still be able to produce enough hormone for the body’s needs. Too little iodine in the diet. The thyroid needs iodine to produce thyroid hormone. Your body doesn’t make iodine, so you need to get it through your diet. Iodized table salt is rich in iodine. Other food sources of iodine include shellfish, saltwater fish, eggs, dairy products, and seaweed.

When Hypothyroidism isn’t treated, signs and symptoms can gradually become more severe. Constant stimulation of the thyroid gland to release more hormones may lead to an enlarged thyroid. In addition, the patient may become more Forgetful, the thought processes may slow down, or the patient may feel depressed. Advanced Hypothyroidism, known as myxedema.

Oh my God in your recent post (BTW I am a different anon) when you said Shri Sampraday call to you I gasped bcoz SAME. I also love the fact that our Shri 🌸 is considered the first guru and hence the name. PS. I have seen bhakts hating on Kanha's loved ones in his adulthood like what? From belittling Arjun to making passive aggressive comments against Dwarka-Shriyas is absolutely wild to me and I think people are just so used to it that they don't even see anything wrong with it . Apart from the Gita DWARKADISH KRISHNA AND HIS LEELAS IN DWARKA ARE SO UNDERRATED. I love Vrindavan and kanhaiya there as well obviously but I have a strange fondness for Dwarka. I don't know how to phrase it but just thinking about Dwarka by the sea with Kanha and his Shriyas feels like home. And once again I think Dwarkadish and all his Dwarkeshwaris deserve the world (i mean they own it but still-). This was kind of a vent because I am kinda tired of this behaviour by Hindus themselves, anyway I love your blog and your writings. Everytime I read a new chapter a new word is added to my vocabulary so thank you for that as well😭😭❤

You have gotten me started on this one, anon. I'm not to be blamed.

Dvaraka is my forever muse. Like, yeah Vrindavana and Barsana and Gokula are home too but Dvaraka is a whole different vibe. The many many Maa Lakshmi roopas, Kanha highlighted as a husband and a father, Maa Devaki (yes she gives me the feels too. God I love her), Baba Vasudeva, Dau, Bhabhi Revati, Subhadra, Gada, the kids, the wondrous city skskskskskaaaaa.

And yeah, this is Kaliyuga. You see Arjuna being slandered and people literally glorifying Karna. Arjuna is literally called Narottama and is revered in the very first verse of the Jaya Samhita, and the fools have this audacity🤦🏻‍♀️

I absolutely HATE how they dishonor my Shriyas cuz tf did they do to these ignorant lil shits? Leave my queens alone. I will start throwing hands now, with no regrets.

Dvarakadheesha Krishna is so so 🤌🏻✨💗 like- the vibes? The aura? The rizz? The mor mukut and the gold armor? The serenity? The mischief? The sweetness? The teachings? The platonic and romantic bonds? THE MAN? I'm obsessed ehehe.

SHRI JI IS OUR GURU ALL THE WAY YAYYYYYYY CUZ SHE'S LEADING US TO HARI'S LOTUS FEET 🪷🫶🏻✨

I love you too anon. And you're welcome. This really is the most frequent compliment I've gotten as a writer 🤣🫶🏻

The sons of Draupadi were always told they looked like their fathers- but they weren't identical. They had their own traits, but they greatly reflected their fathers.

That's why they were called the UpaPandavas, after all.

It had been a source of pride for them, to hear that they were like shadows of their fathers- some of the greatest warriors to walk on earth.

It had been a source of comfort for them, growing up, to see similarities between them and their fathers in the mirror in their absence.

They'd got countless remarks on that. Perhaps, accompanied by a pat on the back, a hand ruffling their hair, or an arm swung around their shoulders, along with gentle chuckles, teasing giggles or roaring laughter.

Their fathers had always doted on them- and how similar their sons were to them- yet still had a charm- perhaps they'd gotten it from their uncles.

Whenever their mother would see them, she'd always pout and remark how they barely got any of her traits, but in the end would always end up showering them in affection.

But for the first time, it is a source of pure agony for everyone, as their tent is being engulfed in fierce flames.

For the first time, they wondered, why did their have to be so similar to their fathers.
