#mohini devi

[kaal-naagin]

I found this on a YouTube suggestion.

Doesn't it look like Maa Lakshmi and Maa Mohini?

Mohini Devi

Miłości, jak Ty słodko bolisz!

W szaleńczym galopie,

W pościgu ukropie;

Za myślą zbyt płochą,

By spocząć na laurach.

Emocja.

Tu sama.

Zstąpiła.

I wzniosła :

(Parnasu salony -

tam ostre slalomy -

wiązania puściły -

radością obrodziły).

Myśl nadal się boi,

Lecz ona nie stoi:

Śpi dla mnie.

Stłamszona dyskretnie.

Śni o Nim Innym – a nie ma ich wielu.

Strąceni – o mury rozbić się skorzy.

Nie mogą podołać swemu istnieniu.

Tym niemniej uchwycił -

Leciutko chce muskać,

Kolory brzoskwini dojrzewać cichutko.

Nie płacze już więcej:

- Że życie przemija;

- Że sufit mu płonie w powodzi złych bytów…

Ona i Ja

(w tym kadrze złączeni).

Nadają jaszczurom umyśle tekściki;

By zdążyć z miłością,

Nim burza doczesna wytrząśnie te myśli.

(Na razie w złym oku zaplatać się mogą).

Rozejdą się losy, jak nogi stonogi,

Gdy przyjdzie się zmierzyć z wyceną Tarota…

Nie-oby…

Tutaj jako KsiążęKsiężyca, 29.08.23., dom.

☀ SHRI MOHINI MURTI ॐ ☀

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vishnu, who can counteract any unfavorable situation, then assumed the form of an extremely beautiful woman. This incarnation as a woman, Mohinī-mūrti, was most pleasing to the mind. Her complexion resembled in color a newly grown blackish lotus, and every part of Her body was beautifully situated. Her ears were equally decorated with earrings, Her cheeks were very beautiful, Her nose was raised and Her face full of youthful luster."~Srimad Bhagavatam 8.8.41

[krishna-priyatama]

Now I know that we all collectively simp for Krishna in the animated Dashavatar movie and we should because....dude have you looked at him , he's ✨GORGEOUS✨

But guys , have you looked at this unparalleled beauty in the same movie ?

(Sorry for the low res image 😅)

I mean , dude she was the first ever representation of Mohini I had ever seen in my life and didn't my five year old heart fall HARD for her....

The beauty , the grace , the deadliness hidden beneath her charms...I was a goner the first time I laid my eyes on her and btw let me tell you I never really managed to get my heart back from her...

I mean , just LOOK AT HER !!!!

[zeherili-ankhein]

That one RadhaKrishna serial made Lakshmi jealous of Mohini and thinking she might steal her husband because those idiots were too scared to portray this divine sapphic couple

As if Lakshmi wouldn't recognize her wife in a heartbeat like who you kidding yall

Lmao that serial is honestly so bad I cry

I didn't see those episodes but WTF 😭😭😭 WHY WOULD LAKSHMI BE JEALOUS OF MOHINI AJDHDBDHDD

Also Lakshmi would be the first one to know it's her wife if anything that's love

And they should have atleast shown her acting all cool with Mohini if they are so afraid of Sapphic romance

I don't think any homophobic uncle aunty would have mind that bruhhh

Also they are cowards they'll never ever be able to do the goodness of MohiniChanchala 😔😔😔😔😔

Because Mohini and Lakshmi doesn't wanna get portrayed by this stupid people (they told me ik)

First off, I love my wifey @devi-lakshmi :33

Second, always remember:

शिवाय विष्णुरूपाय शिवरूपाय विष्णवे ।

शिवस्य हृदयं विष्णुर्विष्णोश्च हृदयं शिवः ॥

Basically what it means is that @press-shivt-blookie and I are the same and we're in each other's hearts so kindly don't compare us, thank you :)

Third, a little color coding of a few of my avatars:

Blue - Me (Vishnu)

Green - Krishn

Orange - Ram

Red - Parshuram

Purple - Vyas

Pink - Mohini

White/Black - Kalki

Persian blue - Matsya

Dark green - Kurma

Light brown - Varah

Orange brown - Narasimha

Yellow - Buddh

Cyan - Venkateshwar

Positive criticism is very much welcome. But blatantly hating on me or any of the Gods for no reason is definitely not.

I approve shipping (as long as it's not creepy or problematic in any way) cuz why not :)

Who Are the Five Daughters of Lord Shiva?

The five daughters of Lord Shiva are not commonly mentioned in mainstream Hindu scriptures. However, in some regional beliefs, folklore, and lesser-known texts, certain divine female figures are considered daughters of Lord Shiva. Here are five names often associated as his daughters:

Ashok Sundari: She is considered the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, created from the Kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling tree) to keep Parvati company when Shiva was away. Her name, "Ashok Sundari," means one who brings beauty and eliminates sorrow.

Jyoti: According to some beliefs, Jyoti was born from the divine light of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. She represents the divine illumination and spiritual knowledge.

Manasa Devi: In some traditions, Manasa Devi, the goddess of snakes and fertility, is considered to be Shiva's daughter. She is often depicted as a protector against snake bites and is worshiped primarily in Bengal and Assam.

Ayyappan (Iyyappa or Ayappa): Though Ayyappan is often considered a son, in some South Indian traditions, particularly in the lore surrounding the Sabarimala Temple, there is a unique interpretation where Ayappa is depicted as a divine incarnation born from the union of Shiva and Vishnu (in his Mohini avatar). However, Ayyappan is generally more associated with being Shiva's son.

Ganga: In some variations, Ganga, the goddess of the sacred river Ganges, is considered a daughter of Lord Shiva. In most stories, she is considered to have been brought to Earth through the matted hair of Shiva, but some regional stories suggest she is his daughter.

It is important to note that Hindu mythology is vast and varied, with numerous interpretations and regional variations. Not all of these daughters are recognized in the same way across different traditions or texts.

[h0bg0blin-meat]

also i did read somewhere that Lakshmi devi was indeed attracted to Mohini and loved her the same way she loved Vishnu (obviously)

- param purush anon

I mean it only makes sense 🤷🏾

Who WOULDN'T be attracted to Mohini amirit 🗿💅

How beautiful was Shrimati Radharani?

Srimati Radharani is the supreme transcendental woman (na rādhikā samā nārī - ‘’There is no woman like Radharani’’- Padma Purana 5.77.52). All women of this world, whether earthly or heavenly, who may proudly consider themselves beautiful by material standards, partake of their minuscule beauty from Srimati Radharani.

Actually, Lord Krishna, famously known as Madana-Mohana, is more beautiful than the goddess of fortune- Sri Lakshmi Devi. However, Radharani is so beautiful that She enchants even Krishna, who attracts the goddess of fortune. Thus, Sri Radha is also known as Madana-Mohana Mohini.

In the words of Srila Prabhupada

The beauty of the goddess of fortune is secondary in the presence of the Lord. In the words of Vaiṣṇava poets, it is said that the Lord’s beauty is so enchanting that it defeats hundreds of thousands of Cupids. He is therefore called Madana-Mohana. It is also described that the Lord sometimes becomes mad after the beauty of Rādhārāṇī. Poets describe that under those circumstances, although Lord Kṛṣṇa is Madana-Mohana, He becomes Madana-dāha, or enchanted by the beauty of Rādhārāṇī.

Actually, the Lord’s beauty is superexcellent, surpassing even the beauty of Lakṣmī in Vaikuṇṭha. The devotees of the Lord in the Vaikuṇṭha planets want to see the Lord as the most beautiful, but the devotees in Gokula or Kṛṣṇaloka want to see Rādhārāṇī as more beautiful than Kṛṣṇa.

-Purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 3.15.42

In his book Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi, Rūpa Gosvāmī explains the characteristics of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. He points out that the body of Rādhārāṇī is in itself an actual evolution of transcendental pleasure. That body is decorated with flowers and fragrant aromas and is complete with transcendental love for Kṛṣṇa. That is the personification of His pleasure potency. That transcendental body takes a bath three times: first in the water of mercy, second in the water of youthful beauty, and third in the water of youthful lustre. After taking a bath three times in that way, Her body is covered with shining garments and decorated with Kṛṣṇa's personal beauty, which is compared to cosmetics.

Thus Her beauty constitutes the highest artistry. Her body is also decorated with the ornaments of spiritual ecstasy—trembling tears, petrification, perspiration, choking, cessation of all bodily functions due to transcendental pleasure, stumbling, high blood pressure and madness.

-Teachings of Lord Caitanya (Chapter 31)

In the words of the great devotee, Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami

ratim- gaurī-līle api tapati saundarya-kiraṇaiḥ śacī-lakṣmī-satyāḥ paribhavati saubhāgya-balanaiḥ

vaśī-kārais" candrāvalī-mukha-navīna-vraja-satīḥ kṣipaty ārād yā tam- hari-dayita-rādhām- bhaja manaḥ

O mind, please worship Lord Hari’s beloved Radha. With the splendour of Her beauty, She outshines even Rati, Gauri, and Lila. With the power of Her good fortune, She completely defeats Saci, Laksmi, and Satyabhama, and with Her ability to control Krsna, She completely eclipses Candravali and the other pious young girls of Vraja.- Manah Shiksha [10], Stavavali, Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami.

Vaishnava Acharyas describe that Srimati Radharani’s personal beauty is like the reddish powder known as kumkuma, Her affection for Her associates is like a sandalwood pulp, and the sweetness of Her smile is like camphor. All these, combined together, are smeared over Her body. The beauty of Srimati Radharani’s eyes forcibly devours the beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty of Her face surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her bodily lustre seems to place even gold into a painful situation. Thus the wonderful, unprecedented beauty of Srimati Radharani eternally manifests in Vrindavana.

Let me conclude my answer with the following description from the book ‘’Nectar of Devotion’’

The beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is described as follows: "Her eyes defeat the attractive features of the eyes of the cakorī bird. When one sees the face of Rādhārāṇī, he immediately hates the beauty of the moon. Her bodily complexion defeats the beauty of gold. Thus, let us all look upon the transcendental beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.

Trees, animals, the five elements, the Sun, the Moon, and other celestial entities—if seen through the right perspective—are all true friends. They constantly assist and serve, though they do not remind us of their presence. Sri Mata is present in the form of all these entities. She manifests as the Sadguru (True Teacher) and, through this form, provides growth and fulfillment. Similarly, parents and many friends support one’s progress. It would be unfortunate to think that one has no friends and that everyone is an enemy. Thus, Sri Mata, in her many forms, takes the shape of a friend, offering help and protection. Those who fail to recognize this will not benefit from the companionship of friends.

Her Grace Madana-mohana-mohini Dasi Departs | ISKCON News. From Kamala Radha devi dasi – Managing Editor for ISKCON News I was lucky enough to know Madana-mohana-mohini dasi and worked with her and her sister, Audarya Radhika Dasi, on different ISKCON projects. When I first came on to serve here at ISKCON News, I wanted to enlist Mohini as a writer and give her a column to share her thoughts and reflections. It never materialized in the way I first conceived because I was truly impressed and in awe of the preaching she was doing on her own. I did not want to divert the momentum she was producing with her preaching. One may simply take a quick glance at her Facebook page, or her YouTube page to see the number of lives she touched in her short time on this planet. From Mohini’s World YouTube Page To say that Mohini was an inspiration does not seem to convey enough how I felt about this soul. I still have WhatsApp voice memos from her and her sister and I will treasure the memories I made with both of them, forever. Mohini recently wrote on her YouTube page… “one of my biggest recent discoveries has been that there’s nothing more important in life than to “live” it, and my purpose right now is to be “happy” doing that…This is me sharing pieces of my journey trying to find beauty in life living with a chronic and terminal illness—muscular dystrophy and spending time achieving my spiritual quest of reconnecting with God, Krishna. And just having fun!” May we all be so centered and peaceful in this life. Madana-mohana-mohini dasi ki jaya! Hare Krishna Twice as Bright In December 2022, Madana-mohana-mohini dasi released her memoir, Twice as Bright: A Young Girl’s Journal of Devotion. It is a collection of a 19-year-old ‘s diaries from September 2019 to October 2020 where she shares day-to-day reflections and realizations from her life. She shares her health struggles living with a neuromuscular condition (Muscular Dystrophy), her desire to serve the Lord and the devotees, and her desire to experience the fullness and goodness of an expectedly short life despite the limitations of her body. The pages of her diary are full of little details from her life. She shares her experiences, learnings, dreams, longings, doubts, thoughts, and imaginations in a real and honest way. The book unfolds her heart’s journey, her introspection through the good and bad, the highs and lows, and the strengths and vulnerabilities that she faces regularly. It shows Mohini’s resilience, kindness, enthusiasm, and urgent compassion. One can experience through this book Mohini’s belief in the simplicity and inclusive nature of bhakti, the beauty and magic of prayers and mercy, and the power of love and surrender. The pages show her gratitude towards and acceptance of Krishna’s plans. In many places, you will find her being too hard upon herself because she feels a strong urge to serve and preach and make her life meaningful, her actions purposeful, and her contribution valuable for Srila Prabhupada’s movement—our movement. Her words, “Devotional service is our life,” and “Let life be a part of your service—not service a part of your life,” express that well. She often reflects on the struggles of a sadhaka, and the plight of the world, and ends the book with an urgent prayer to all the devotees to take up the responsibility to preach, quoting John E. Lewis, “If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” To read the complete article and/or watch the video please click here: https://bit.ly/3LiWsqN
