Whenever i reread the Rukmini Svayamvar leela i giggle so much like HELLO?? THE ROMANCE?? SRIMATI RUKMINI BEING AN ABSOULTE CUTIE?? KANHA?? AHHH *swoons and falls dramatically on the floor*

(for the ones who dont know)

A lot of people only know about Rukmini Haran, but Harivamsa (Mahabharata) also gives a detailed account of Rukmini Svayamavar, to which the Yadavs weren't invited. However, Krishna being dramatic as usual (especially for his Shris) decided to disrupt the occasion. Apparently, he was so formidable and intimidating that even the Kings participating in the event requested King Bhishmak to wed Ma Rukmini to Krishna right now in order to pacify him. But as we know, Kanha lets Shri decide the auspicious time for their divine union. (btw Krishna is still in Mathura i.e, Dwarka isn't built just yet.)

Shri Krishna then proceeds to give a speech to the entire Royal court revealing the true nature of Shri Rukmini as Parashakti who has descended on earth upon the request of Brahma and other gods. Being the supreme goddess herself, she deserves only to be wedded to the Supreme lord and not to some mortal king.

" Lord Krishna: O king, I reveal to you an eternal truth, devoid of any deceit. Your daughter Rukmini, upon hearing my words, shall determine the most auspicious course of action. For, at the behest of Brahma himself, she has incarnated in your household as Rukmini, she is the supreme goddess Shri herself "

"She transcends mortal existence, and her presence at the svayamvar amidst human kings would be travesty. As the supreme Goddess, her dharma dictates that she unite with the supreme one alone."

श्रीरुक्मिणीचरणारविन्दार्पणमस्तु ।

BONUS:

*swoons with you*

*Kanha also swoons hearing about his beloved Rukmini*

Shri Rukmini : giggles and shakes her head at all of us

[greektragedybitch]

i love how kanha as a kid deliberately antagonised the king of gods by telling the people of vrindavan to pray to govardhan instead of indra like yess?? put that egotistic head into its place??

it just gives me chills – the fact that hardly any more days left for Janmashtami... and maybe just maybe what you've written is going to come true this time... it gives me the courage to hope that this time he'll be here to help... to save us... to help us get justice... to protect us

Guys imagine...

It's 11:59 PM in the night of Sunday

The alleys are dark

Demons in human skin are laughing

Women are being raped

Protestors are doing candle marches

An old lady, very old, watches the TV with horro in her eyes and folds her palms, looks at the small Laddoo Gopal ki murti in her Pooja Home and says, "Ab to aao Girdhar Gopal, kabse aas lagaye hai." (atleast now come, Girdhar Gopal. We await you to to come {and annihilate evil}.)

Away from all this at a small house near a river, the loud cries of a woman rattled the whole house as she pushed at her stomach, the pain being unbearing as she cried out for help, the midwives helping her. Lightning started to crackle in the sky, heavy rain started pouring down with lightning and lightning, the river was in full swing.

With a final cry the pain subsided, her face drenched in sweat and tears as she felt herself fainting, when her eyes were snapped open as she felt something on her chest.

"You have birthed such a beautiful baby boy, look!" The midwife had cried out happily and she teared up, looking at the dark skinned small bundle of joy, who was crying, covered in a thick blanket.

Suddenly her eyes were dazzled by the effect of a bright light, and she closed her eyes in between. She slowly opened one eye and looked up, and was stunned. The huge silhouette of a man with four arms holding different things stood in front of her, as she looked wide eyed at the huge silhouette in front of her, and then slowly looked at the baby.

Suddenly it clicked her...

𝐘𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐘𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐡𝐢 𝐃𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐚, 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐫𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐡..

𝐀𝐛𝐡𝐲𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐦-𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐚, 𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐚��-𝐦𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐫𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐲𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐦..!

I am once again reminded that we're living in kaliyug now....

[nidhi-writes]

Deepavali - Great power comes with great responsibility

Growing up in the southern Indian state of Tamilnadu, where Deepavali is celebrated cause of Narakasura’s Defeat by Krishna. Each year I heard the story of how and when it happened, why Krishna killed Narakasura, and how cruel he was.

As the adult age struck I started to work with people from many parts of India, surprisingly that's when I heard that the story of Deepavali/Diwali which they celebrate is very different from the one I did.

Some specified that it celebrated the cause of Lord Rama and Seetha’s return to Ayodhya

Some Specified that it was celebrated cause of Ravana’s Defeat by Lord Rama.

They were surprised when I said in Tamilnadu it is celebrated for the reason I mentioned above, some were quick to point out how wrong I was and how one should know one's true culture and blah blah blah.

It was hard to explain culture and practices vary throughout our country and that's the beauty of it, there is no right or wrong cause every path and every practice leads to the same destiny. Our paths may vary but the destination is one.

So I wanted to read more about this one-line story I heard about how Krishna defeated Narakasura and the origin of it. And man if I say it made me cry, weep.

To dive into this story we have to travel from Kaliyug to Krita(Sathya) Yug

When the earth was in the hands of destruction by the asura Hrinyaksha and to save the earth and defeat Hrinyaksha, the almighty Vishnu took in the form of Varaha, as both Hrinyaksha and Varaha fought, Varaha overpowered Hiranaksha and at the end defeating him and also restored the earth to its original position in the universe

Varaha defeated Hiranaksha with ease and his only exertion was a drop of sweat, which fell to the ground. From that drop, a young warrior rose, his name was Naraka.

Is that when Bhoodevi and her heartbeat as a mother, her eyes watered at the scene of her son rising from her Swami’s drop of sweat. How could she not love him as he is her son, with love Bhoodevi hugged her son and smiled at how strong and a warrior he was. Bhoodevi turned and asked her Prabhu Varaha that her son should be invincible. Varaaha pulled out one of his tusks and gave it to Naraka saying he could use it as a weapon whenever he was in great danger.

Naraka accepted the weapon provided by his father and felt immensely blessed and ready to go to seek his fortune, as his father provided him advice on how to use the power to do only good.

‘Uphold Dharma’ said Varaha and Bhoodevi blessed her son as happy tears fell from her lotus-like eyes.

Just like any mother, her heart is filled with love and confidence for her son. She does not doubt her son becoming powerful in all three worlds and being just like her Swami. Varaha looked at Bhoodevi and smiled at her nodding his head as if he knew what she was thinking, but his smile didn’t seem to be filled with confidence.

Varaha smiled, his son will be powerful but the question is will he uphold the dharma to do good things, will he use his powers to be righteous, cause great power comes with great responsibilities.

As the yugas rolled one by one from Krita(Sathya) to Treta, to Dwaparyug. Lord Vishnu again came down to earth in the form of Krishna, Yadava. He vanquished his Uncle Kamsa and continued to restore dharma on the earth.

Just like the yugas rolled down, Naraka also grew very powerful, as he conquered everything from heaven and earth, he was drunk with power. That's when he snatched the celestial earrings from Aditi, the mother of Devas.

Amid the chaos, Indra the lord of devas sought Krishna’s help to vanquish Naraka. Upon hearing this Satyabama, one of the wives of Krishna, who is none other than Bhoodevi herself, got devastated and her heart ached along with anger boiled on how her son turned out. Her confidence in her son now made her feel like crying a river but as a Bhoodevi she had a job first that is to accompany her swami and solve this problem.

Both Krishna and Sathyabama left Prag-joyitisha-pura on Garuda. But entering the Prag-joyitisha-pura was not easy as the capital has four layers to its defence, The chief defender of Naraka’s capital was Mura, who was so confident that no one could penetrate the defence he had set and was relaxing deep down at the ring of defence.

But can anything be against Parandhaman himself? Krishna took down each defence layer at ease thus causing violent ripples in the water. Mura woke up from his slumber, enraged rushed out to defend and attack Krishna. Mura fell fighting against Krishna who then earned the name Murrari, the enemy of Mura.

Upon hearing the chaos outside Naraka Narakasura himself came out and started to fight against Krishna. The fight went on day and night causing extreme chaos and it became very difficult to say who was winning. As Naraka still had the weapon provided to him by his father Varaha, he took out the deadly tusk and threw it on Krishna, who got stuck by the tusk into his chest and fell unconscious. Naraka let out a victory cry but an enraged Satyabama picked up the bow and started to fight Naraka with so much anger. Naraka was shocked and continued to fight Sathyabama not knowing her real identity just like he did with Krishna.

Sathyabama’s eyes turned red flashing anger and her love for her son was now completely overshadowed by the monster he had become. Amidst the fighting, Krishna woke up and saw Sathyabama fighting and smiled at her. Naraka is shocked to see how Krishna is now awake, no other being can able to be alive after being struck by the deadly weapon, if Krishna is alive then he must be none other than Lord Varaha himself, his father.

Naraka fell on his knees and his father's words rang into his ears ‘Uphold Dharma’. He realized that he had failed his father's words and surrendered to Krishna, who used Sudarshana chakra at Naraka.

As his life slowly leaves Naraka he subconsciously surrenders himself to Krishna and Sathyabama. Sathyabama who was Bhoodevi born again, rushed to him and held him. The cries of sorrow, hurt, love, anger everything heard in her. As she helplessly held her son whose life slowly leaving him, Krishna silently watched the reunion of mother and son. As the tears fell on his body he found light in his dying moment. The darkness has been lifted as the dawn broke.

That day is celebrated as the festival of lights, Deepavali or Diwali, which signifies that we have to emerge from darkness to light.

What is Niyog Paddati? Is it similar to modern-day cuckolding?

This is a controversial topic, but it's something Hindus should be aware of.

What is Niyog?

Niyog Paddati refers to a traditional system of procreation in some Hindu communities, particularly in the context of ancient customs and practices. It involves a woman being impregnated by a man who is not her husband, often to ensure the continuation of lineage or to produce offspring when traditional marital constraints may not apply.

Is it similar to modern-day cuckolding?

A big no. While both involve extramarital sexual relationships, their motivations and cultural significance vary widely. Cuckolding is a sexual practice or fantasy where one partner (typically a man) derives pleasure from seeing their partner engage in sexual activities with someone else. Niyog Paddati, on the other hand, had a higher purpose of continuing heritage and was not done as a pleasure-seeking activity.

Examples of Niyog in India:

1. In the Mahabharata, the story of Vyasa, Ambika, and Ambalika involves Vyasa being summoned to help produce heirs. When the king's first wife, Ambika, sees Vyasa, she is overwhelmed and closes her eyes, resulting in her son, Dhritarashtra, being born blind. Ambalika, the second wife, is sent next. She is pale with fear when she meets Vyasa, leading to her son, Pandu, being born weak and sickly.

2. Kunti obtained her sons through Niyog Paddati in the presence of King Pandu. After her marriage to Pandu, who is cursed to die if he approaches his wives, Pandu turns to Kunti for a solution to have heirs. Kunti reveals a boon given to her by Sage Durvasa, allowing her to invoke any deity to bear children.

How was Niyog carried out?

Many may think that women became pregnant through chanting mantras, but this is not true. Kunti's mantras were only used to summon gods. The children were born from vaginal penetration in Tretayuga, as clearly mentioned in our ancient texts. Niyog Paddati had certain rules:

1. The couple should perform tapasya for some time beforehand to free their minds from any possible guilt.

2. It should not be done for pleasure-seeking purposes.

Can Niyog be carried out in Kaliyuga?

No. It is very difficult to carry out Niyog in Kaliyuga. Niyog is carried out after great tapasya, and people of Kaliyuga are generally incapable of such practices and of freeing themselves from the guilt that might arise from extramarital sex. Also, it might destroy the social structure which is necessary to maintain order in Kaliyug.

My point is that Hinduism has always allowed practices if they serve a higher purpose and it may raise eyebrows among conservatives. One shouldn't hesitate to take severe steps if it's for the protection of Dharma.
