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

Durga

In Hinduism, the goddess Durga, also known as Shakti or Devi, is the protective mother of the universe. She is one of the faith's most popular deities, a protector of all that is good and harmonious in the world. Sitting astride a lion or tiger, the multi-limbed Durga battles the forces of evil in the world.

Durga is the ultimate feminine power. She is the embodiment of all Shaktis, the combined divine energies of the supreme Goddesses, Saraswati, the divinity of knowledge; Lakshmi, the one of wealth; and Parvati, the Goddess of might and valor. She is Adi Parashakti, the pre-eminent Goddess and is known in many other names such as Rajarajeswari, Kali, Mahishasura Mardhini, etc.

‘The Fort’ is the literal meaning of the word Durga, while the name as such denotes someone ‘who is invincible.’

Goddess Durga Mantra

‘Om Dum Durgayei Namaha’

Benefits of Chanting Durga Mantra

This is considered a mantra of divine protection. This is a powerful hymn, which can be chanted aloud and also meditated upon internally. It is believed that its faithful recitation with devotion, humility and total trust in the ultimate power of the divine mother can get for the devotees the immense blessings of Maa Durga.

Nobody has created Adi Sakti Maa but she has only gave birth to all the living beings!

Adi Parashakti, Adi Shakti and Shakti are synonymes and represent the same power which has metamorphosed from one to another. If you look at it with eternity, they appear to be same, born out of the same things, yet appear distict from each other. Adi Parashakti represent the ‘Cosmic Power’ of Universe, Adi Shakti represent the ‘Ancient Power’ of Planet Earth and Shakti represent the ‘Power’ or ‘True Nature’ which is available on Earth.

Maa Durga which is the manifestation of Adi Shakti controls the nine planets to maintain the cosmic orders of universe. Maa Durga in her form of Nav Durga provides energy to the nine planets. Various forms of Nav Duga can be described as follows:-

Kushmanda Shakti governing the SUN

Mahagauri governing the RAHU

Kaal Ratri governing the SHANI

Shiddhi Dhatri governing the KETU

Katyayini governing the BRIHASPATI

Brahmcharini governing the MANGAL

Shail Putri governing the MOON

Skanda Mata governing the BUDDH

Chandraghanta governing the SHUKRA

During the days of Navaratra the power or cosmic energy of the divine mother Adi Parashakti is said to be the maximum on the earth. It is during this period that human beings can worship her to be bestowed with her powers to ward off the evil effects.

Adi Parashkti in her original manifestation devolved to Goddess Durga, Sati and Paravati.

அவர்களில் ஒருத்தி ஏழுலகத்துக்கும் ராணி எனத் தகும் கம்பீரத் தோற்றமுடைய பெண்மணி. இன்னொருத்தி வீணைத் தந்திகளில் விரல்களை ஓட்டி இன்னிசை எழுப்பிய நங்கை. இருவரும் அழகிகள் என்றாலும் ஒருவருடைய அழகுக்கும் இன்னொருவருடைய அழகுக்கும் மிக்க வேற்றுமை இருந்தது. ஒருத்தி செந்தாமரை மலரின் கம்பீர சௌந்தரியம் உடையவள். இன்னொருத்தி குமுத மலரின் இனிய அழகை உடையவள். ஒருத்தி பூரண சந்திரன்; இன்னொருத்தி காலைப் பிறை. ஒருத்தி ஆடும் மயில்; இன்னொருத்தி பாடும் குயில். ஒருத்தி இந்திராணி; இன்னொருத்தி மன்மதனின் காதலி. ஒருத்தி வேகவாஹினியான கங்காநதி; இன்னொருத்தி குழைந்து நெளிந்து செல்லும் காவேரி.

In these two women, one looked like the bold beauty who could rule all seven worlds, while the other was the beauty who had played the veenai with delicate, flower-like fingers, awakening melodious music. The two were both absolute beauties, but there were differences in their respective beauties. One had the bold beauty of the red lotus bloom, while the other had the serene and pleasant beauty of the kumudha flower. One was like the full moon, while the other held the beauty of the crescent moon. One held the beauty of the dancing peacock, the other held that of the song bird. The former was like Indrani, while the latter held the beauty of Manmadha's beloved, Rati. One was like the speedy river Ganga, while the latter was like the gentle, meandering Kaveri.

I adore this passage, for it brings out the equality of Kundavai and Vanathi without compromising either.

The main reason I shared this is to focus a little more on Vanathi here- there are loops Kalki has opened here with regards to Arulmozhi Varmar here. Her delicate kanthal flowers is something Arulmozhi himself remarks on during the love confession. She is compared to the crescent moon, which is more powerful a symbol in Shaiva tattva, for the crescent moon is considered a symbol of ParaShakti- it could indicate the ShivaShakti equality in Vanathi and Arulmozhi- which is also indicated when they all go to Thiruvaiyaaru, albeit indirectly.

Calling Vanathi comparable to Rati makes sense when Arulmozhi is constantly compared to Manmadhan through the books. And the last comparison, to that of the Kaveri/Ponni, is the most significant one- though I will make a separate post expanding on it, as it requires multiple citations to establish that theory.

Let me know what you all think!

Adi Parashakti appeared as Divine Pure Eternal Consciousness, i.e., Shoonya Bindu, the divine zero feminine Energy, which expresses itself as Prakriti (Universal Nature). Hence Adi Parashakti is Parama Prakriti.

[whimsicalwonders369]

Maa Siddhidatri is worshipped on the ninth day of Navratri. According to Hindu mythology, Rudra worshipped Adi-Parashakti, the supreme Goddess of Power, when the universe began. Since she had no form, Adi-Parashakti appeared in the form of Siddhidatri from the left half of Lord Shiva. When this happened, Shiva came to be known as Ardha-Narishwar.

[talonabraxas]

Durga, (Sanskrit: “the Inaccessible”) in Hinduism, a principal form of the Goddess, also known as Devi and Shakti. Originally, she is Adi Parashakti, the ultimate female energy present in the universe before creation. The gods invoked her to defeat the demon, Mahishasura. Her manifested form emerged from the gods themselves. Before the war, she was gifted with different weapons, ornaments, valuable clothes, jewelery, and a lion or tiger as her mount.

🤍🤍🌹🌹🤍🌹🌹🤍🤍 JAI MAA KALIKA MATA 🌺🙏🏽🙏🏽 from @bhaktiposting • READ WHOLE CAPTION "Kali And Mahakal" 💀 Why Kali Is Standing On Top Of Shiva.....??? In reality, the “form” of Kali is not a form at all; it is transcendental to all forms and the three Gunas of Prakriti (Satva, Rajas and Tamas); for Kali is embodiment of Absolute Truth. Kali is Nirguna Parabrahman even in Her embodied form. Kali is formidable, has flowing hair and four arms; She holds a sword & a severed head with Her left hands and displays Varada & Abhaya Mudras with Her right hands. She transcends Maya, and thus She is nude. She Avyakta, Nirguna and incomprehensible; thus She is of pitch black complexion. The She wears fifty two alphabets of Sanskrit / fifty two Shaktipithas in the form of a garland of severed heads and at Her feet lies Mahadeva in the form of a corpse, Yes its not SHIV but SHAV. In this form of Devi, The Sadhak witnesses millions of universes, fifty alphabets of Sanskrit (that represent Shabda Brahaman) and the essence of all Vedic & Agamic Shastras. To this amazement, Lord Shiva also witnessed millions of Brahmas, Vishnus and Rudras like Himself. From all of previous and further creation At last, Devi Herself proclaimed “There is no form of Parashakti greater than Kali, for Kali Herself is Parabrahman Swarupini.” General masses falsely assume that the visage of Shiva lying under Devi’s foot is Her husband. The basis of this assumption is a misogynist/patriarchal folklore, according to which after having drunk Raktabija’s blood in a battlefield, Devi decided to destroy the universe in Her rage. To calm Her down, Mahadeva lied down under Her feet, and realising that She had stepped upon Her husband, Devi stuck Her tongue out in shame/regret. However, no such story has been ever documented in any Purana or Tantra. It is purely a work of fiction, engineered by patriarchal cults to cow down the Goddess and Her feminine Sampraday. Misogyny is evident and an attempt has been made to deny the Divinity present in the Divine Feminine. Credit : Kamakala Bhattacharya🙏🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCKLGOOXMn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dakshineswar Temple

Situated on the banks of the holy river Hooghly, West Bengal, India, is the temple of  Bhavatarini, a form of Parashakti Adya Kali, otherwise known as Adishakti Kalika- well known as Dakshineswar Kali Temple. Rani Rashmoni, a Zamindar, philanthropist, and devotee of Kali Maa, erected the temple in 1855. The temple is well-known for its connections to Bengali mystics Ramakrishna and Ma Sarada Devi from the 19th century. Profoundly affected by the visionary dream of the Goddess Kali, Rani Ma searched for and purchased a 30,000-acre tract in the Dakshineswar village from Jake Hastie, an Englishman, who sold the 20-acre site, which at the time was known as Saheban Bagicha. Between 1847 and 1855, a sizable temple complex was constructed.

The primary temple was modeled after the Radhakanta temple in Tollygunge, designed in the Navaratna style by Babu Ramnath Mondal of the Bawali Raj family.

Radhakanta temple in Tollygunge

In addition to the main temple at Dakshineswar with nine spires, the temple compound also has rooms along the perimeter walls of a sizable courtyard. The garbha griha, or sanctum sanctorum, has the idol of Bhavatarini perched atop Lord Shiva. Both idols are set atop a pure silver lotus blossom with a thousand petals. Along the riverfront, there are twelve shrines to Shiva, Kali's consort, a Radha-Krishna temple, a riverside bathing ghat, and a shrine to Rani Rashmoni.

The Shiva Temples

The three-story, south-facing temple was constructed in the Bengali architectural style known as Navaratna, or "nine spires," and it has nine spires scattered throughout the upper two storeys. It is elevated on a high platform and has a flight of stairs leading up to it. It is 46 feet (14 m) square overall and rises to a height of more than 100 feet (30 m).

Navratri special. Happy Navratri. Maa Durga Bhavani.

Navaratri is an annual Hindu festival observed in honor of the goddess Durga, an aspect of Adi Parashakti, the supreme goddess. It spans over nine nights (and ten days), first in the month of Chaitra (March/April of the Gregorian calendar), and again in the month of Ashvin (September–October). It is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts of the Hindu Indian cultural sphere. Theoretically, there are four seasonal Navaratris. However, in practice, it is the post-monsoon autumn festival called Sharada Navaratri. There are 2 Gupta Navaratris or "Secret Navaratris" as well, one starting on the Shukla Paksha Pratipada of the Magha Month (Magha Gupta Navaratri) and another starting in the Shukla Paksha Pratipada of Ashadha Month.

So align your chakras in this navratri and transcend to your divinity.
