Why do you think Ibrahim hated Hürrem so much? I am thinking of the Leo thing in particular. It wasn’t just a strategic move, he loathed her.

Imo because they are so similar to each other. Both wanted to be the closest partner to SS and both wanted power from SS. When it comes to origins and backstory, we know the most of that about these two.

Both of slave origins and SS broke traditions for them cause he loves them both which is something they don’t like. It is either him or her but never both. Hurrem was SS fave consort and Ibrahim was SS grand vizier so they were kinda equal power wise , maybe Ibrahim had more power as he was politically involved. So we could say they were jealous. Everything changes when Hurrem is free and married. Even if Ibrahim still has more power , he is a slave while Hurrem is a free married woman. Her hierarchy position is with free women like herself while his hierarchy position is with slave pashas.

We already discussed this but let’s go more in depth. In ep.42 after learning Hurrem and SS nikah he monologues

“The Grand Vizier of Ottoman Empire. the commander in chef of the glorius Ottoman army. The dearie husband of the Hatice Sultana of Ottoman dynasty. Ibrahim pasha, isn’t it enough? Won't this game of thrones end? How many more times will you spil blood? How many more times will you let your enemy to turn your heart into?How can a woman rival be ten times more dangerous and tough? Don't be surprised ibrahim. Don't be surprised Theo. She's a converted just like you...Alexandra from Ruthenia. You picked your own devil. You created her for Sultan Suleyman. You converted. you obeyed. you won. Obey again. lose against your greed. Lose so you'll have enough anger to”

The reason Ibrahim is shattered and devastated at her marriage is not just his jealously but also the feeling of being hopeless. She converted….she is married to the world’s most important ruler. He converted….he is reminded that he is just a convert, slave to his wife, slave to his best friend ,and slave to the empire that he has a high position in. A SLAVE

Let’s dive back in Ibrahim’s identity crisis. His conversion to Islam is never appreciated like Hurrem’s in SS eyes. SS doesn’t understand what Ibrahim is feeling , he preaches about how Hurrem converted out of love (which is a stupid boast on its own since when should conversion be out of love for a human not the god of the religion…anyway). Ibrahim is rightfully irritated (wait did I just defend pargali 🤭)….he is like “I converted too you know!”. Plus SS also sometimes remind Ibrahim with how much he blessed him with his high positions but he never reminds Hurrem how he blessed her with the marriage or Haseki title.

Now to the Leo thing. Leo was the only thing that if was exposed, Hurrem is done. There are two stages for this. First is making her kill Leo. Well he just wanted to break her…he wanted to make her fear him. He wanted her to know that he can easily destroy her and that her fate is in his hands. He thought she would lay low after this because she would fear him accusing her of adultery. I don’t think he thought for a moment that she’d eat the poisoned thing instead of leo. He had two scenarios 1.Hurrem wouldn’t be able kill leo and he’ll expose them. 2.Hurrem would kill leo and be so traumatized. The latter happened but Hurrem trauma will later flip the tables on Ibrahim when Sadika thing happened, She was traumatized seeing leo die but SS thought she was traumatized because of Sadika which doomed Ibrahim as Hurrem acted as if it was Sadika.

The second stage is the notebook. When Ibrahim suddenly got sick and his son dies, he considered Hurrem responsible of this so out of madness he grabs the notebook to expose Hurrem because he knows that even if SS forgives Hurrem for a lot of things , he’ll never forgive her for cheating on him that hurts his male , padisah ego. So Ibrahim asked Hurrem to read because he is stupid like did he really thought Hurrem would translate it right ☠️ then all of them three learn about Hatics attempt to suicide and Ibrahim fails to get a grip of that notebook again.

It is said that there is a  truth behind any myth, and that has been there with human civilisation parallel to religious beliefs. The tradition of worshipping Goddess Saraswati on the occasion of  Basant Panchami also has a mythological significance behind it. On the occasion of Basant Panchami, City Spidey's Shruti Kharbanda explains some popular beliefs as per mythology and its Astro - Vastu significance in Indian Society.

Indian religious mythology says that Goddess Saraswati originated from Sattva Guna(Pious Virtue), and it is known that she is fond of white things. So offering white things on Basant Panchami to Goddess Sarswati is a tradition in society. People believe that her blessings can be obtained by donating or offering white items, so there is a practice to offer things like milk, curd, butter, white clothes, sugar, white sesame seeds, and rice grains, etc. Apart from this, Goddess Saraswati is adorned with yellow flowers, and yellow-coloured dresses, so while worshipping her, there is a tradition of wearing yellow on the occasion.

Astrologically, Basant Panchami is also considered the perfect and pious day for weddings in Indian society. As the season changes during this period, we experience quick changes in our health. Thus, worshipping Lord Dhanvantari (An ancient doctor and God of Health in Indian religious mythology) on this day leads to good health. This is also regarded as an auspicious day for buying new things and making investments. According to astrology, this is a good day for starting new activities as well.

Basant Panchami is associated with Shringara Rasam(Romance) and the ritual of worshipping Goddess Saraswati brings positive vibes for love and prosperity and has a strong significance according to astrology. This time of the year, the sun gives the seventh aspect to the zodiac sign of Leo and the Magha Nakshatra. The Leo sign is related to kids, learning, love, the strength of spirituality and fun together.

Vastu Shastra provides us with an interesting connotation around the Goddess of learning, mother Saraswati. The Direction of Goddess Saraswati is North-East according to Vastu, and it is seen that keeping a white colour photo or idol of Saraswati in this direction brings in the right knowledge at the right time. Also, it is said that keeping your books in the North-East and West-Southwest direction can help you remain focused on the subject you wish to attain expertise at. North-East is also the direction of Lord Dhanwantri, the God of Health and it is widely seen that many people worship lord Dhanwantri on this day for the wealth of good health.

Common Rituals On Basant Panchami

On this day, people wake up early and bathe, and then change into their finest clothes to worship Goddess Saraswati. They ask for the Goddess to educate and enlighten them. Agricultural fields in many parts of the country also blossom as the yellow flowers of mustard crops begin to bloom. This association makes people believe that yellow is the Goddess' favourite colour.

While in Rajasthan people customarily wear garlands made of jasmine flowers on this day, in Punjab, devotees fly kites on their rooftops and usher in the festivities.

In many parts of the country, young children are made to write their first words on a slate on this day, owing to its auspiciousness. This ritual of initiating education to children is known as Akshar-Abhyasam or Vidya-Arambham/Prasana which is one of the famous rituals on the occasion of  Basant Panchami in Indian Society. Schools and colleges arrange puja in the morning to seek the blessings of the Goddess.

For Sikhs, in the Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar, on the day of Basant Panchami, musicians start the music by singing Basant Raga. This practice continues up until the first day of Baisakh when Basant Rag is no longer used.
