लक्ष्मी नारायण

ANDAL MY GIRL...SAY WHAT NOW!!!

I casually scroll through Nachiyar Thirumozhi only to read the most sensual poem one could ever write with such bold sensuality and startlingly savage longing and hunger that Andal had for her Narayan.

My life will be spared, only if he will come, to stay for me for one night, If he will enter me, so as to leave, the imprint of his saffron paste, upon my breasts, mixing, churning, maddening me inside, gathering my swollen ripeness, spilling nectar, as my body and blood burst into flower!

I can really visualize the scene of how Periyalvar (Andal's dad) would have reacted upon reading them

Periyalvar: Oh look at that, my precious child wrote a poem *Continues to read* Periyalvar: *Read the above lines* *Gulps down and sets the scrolls* Maybe her wanting to marry Narayan is not bad. Periyalvar: Andal my dear!! Let's get you married to Narayan tomorrow. *as he mumbles* I can't do this anymore.

☀ SHRI LAKSHMI DEVI ॐ ☀

“I offer my obeisances unto Goddess Lakshmi who is the abode of lotuses, who holds the lotus, whose eyes resemble the petals of a lotus, whose face is a lotus, and who is dear to the Lord who has a lotus navel.”~Lakshmi-Stuti

[archpoet77]

another underrated dynamic! Shesha nag and Narayan. Homies. Bros. I would kill for you. I would die for you. I don’t understand half the things you say and don’t agree with the other half. I might not be your blood, but I am your brother.

[janaknandini-singh999]

After Krishna left for Dwarka, Radha used to keep herself a lot busier than usual; doing her chores back in Vrindavan, talking to the trees finding Krishna in everything, taking care of the people and animals. At night she would go to her room and sit in front of the mirror, sigh and take out her shringaar. Tonight, as soon as she looked into her reflection, it was her Kanha smiling at her.

"How's Dwarka dheesh doing?" she carefully kept her tone as teasing, afraid that if he suspects even a little bit of sadness then he will come running to her right away, leaving everything behind

"Oh please, Radhe. You should come sometime, you used to before but you barely do now."

Radha cupped Kanha's cheek in the mirror

"My sweet mohana, you know I can't. It's my duty to give you and your ashtabharya all the space and love," laughing, she added a little wistfully "As it is I don't really have a good reputation out here. Krishna's lover. But why? Krishna has millions of lovers. The whole brahmaand is his lover. Why worship one exclusively with him? If he loves all his lovers equally then why just worship this Radha with him? She isn't even his wife. Unlike Mahadev and Parvati, they aren't even legitima-"

"Radhe." Krishna stopped her with tears in his eyes

Radha, hurting as much as him, apologized and continued "but it is true, my love. People only view love as black or white. They think marriage is sanctity when it is the bond that is. Not the label."

Nodding, Krishna whispered "do you miss me?"

She laughed till there were tears in her eyes too "Oh Kanha, you are everywhere I look. Every time I breathe."

"Then why talk to me like this? Why summon me here?"

"Because you are everywhere. Everywhere but right here."

Kanha's eyes softened "I am within you, sakhi. Always."

Nodding and smiling, she looked away to wipe her tears "yes yes, I know that." she looked back in Kanha's eyes "only if I could somehow tell that to Yashoda maiya, Nand baba and all the gopiyan and people here. Maiya is inconsolable, kanha. She cries and says 'that boy always tricks me. I saw the universe in his mouth when he was a child. Now wherever I look, I see him. But I just want him to come steal my makhan. Kanha, where are you? I promise I'll never scold you.'

Krishna touches the mirror ever so gently

"Kanha, they think you are not real when you are everywhere. They think it's an illusion and all they do is weep."

"But they forgot that Maya is Krishna and Mohana is Krishna. Everything that involves krishna is as real as the morpankh falling from the sky quietly into their palms when they think of Him." Radha and krishna whisper at the same time

"Tomorrow the Pandavas and Kauravas fight and I'm Arjuna's saarthi. After killing Kansa mama, the trajectory of my life has changed completely. But I miss Vrindavan, Kishori. I honestly don't even know what to do. They call me God but forget I'm a human in this avatar too. All I can feel is Gandhari's pain. Even if she hates me with everything she has and cursed me for my existence but I just can't help but feel for her so deeply. What can I do?" he sobs

"What Kauravas did was wrong but Gandhari is a mother, kanha. Her pain can't be measured. It is unbearable but justified. But so is your karma and dharma. Whatever you do will be remembered forever. They all need you. So go, sakha. Do what needs to be done. I believe in you. I love you. We all do."

Krishna smiled through the tears

Radha whispered "we parted physically to fulfill our dharma in this lifetime but you know? I.. I'm just so tired, Kanha. It's been so long. I just want to go home. To Goloka. Our home. I feel my purpose here is coming to an end..."

"So is mine, Radhe.. so is mine. We are One." Kanha clutched the mirror closer to his chest and Radha did too - both of them in an eternal embrace.

"We will go home very soon. To everyone we love, finally. It's my vachan, sakhi."

O cool dew- breeze! This body is made for collecting Flowers To place at the feet of my lord Narayana everyday Of what use is it to be separated from him thus? Go ask him this, then come back and split my bones.

The original is a paper, but I’m also making a digital one. TBH I feel a bit intimidated drawing them in cg form. But I do love the fact that I can see Lakshmi Narayana in colored version as well. #Lakshmi #Vishnu #wipart

[shyamasundar]

I wish that Lord Vishnu would also come to me and impart all the knowledge of the Vedas, Puranas, and Itihasa, just as He bestowed upon Dhruv. since in the fleeting span of life, the pursuit of such divine knowledge remains an eternal quest.
