I am in full agreement with you.

Sringara has all components in it. Why do people find it so hard to get idk

Some of y'all would absolutely hate knowing that women have seen krishna as their lovers and have desired him as such despite being married. Y'all would hate knowing that he accepted those feelings too even though they were "wrong" and "morally bad". He, as a god, is beyond right and wrong, beyond pure and impure. So if you're one of those people who go like "oh you see a god as your romantic and sexual partner???? Blasphemous!!!" Please move to instagram (it has plenty of people like you already) and leave gopiblr alone.

hey wwhen will u update jeevane

Tomorrow!

Krishna is the only Purusha in the Brahmanda.

He is Everything, and isn’t meant for only a certain ‘type.’ He is for everyone and is meant to be loved by everyone- He is also the One everyone falls madly in love with.

I hate when people say ‘how can you love Krishna when you are married.’ Why can’t they? Of course they can.

Prema with Krishna is beyond human constraints.

So many padams and Javalis have married nayikas singing in love to Krishna/Narayana.

Jeevane OS 3- snippet

Aditha was very much their father Sundara Chozhar from youth- Arulmozhi had heard everyone, including Periya Pazhavettarayar, say the same. The restlessness, a bit of casual arrogance, and the endless hotblooded, bloodthirsty vengeance.

Arulmozhi did not fool himself in thinking he was perfect or beyond all these characteristics. He knew well he had all of them himself. The only thing he also had was Sembiyan Maadevi, Vanavan Maadevi and Kundavai's lessons imprinted in his heart.

He had gotten the balance of Chozha fury from his father and strategy through women since a young age, and that helped him much more than he probably knew.

Janmame Konden Adharkaaga (Jeevane OS 2)

Sorry for the delay! I forgot to post yesterday. ******

ennaiye thanden unakkaga

janmame konden adharkaaga

(I have given myself to you and for you,

I have taken birth solely for that)

Vaanathi had heard the gentle voice of the yaanai paagan who was not really one. She had learned he was Ponniyin Selvar days after her meeting with him by the Ponni, where she had asked his help to rescue the baby birds.

His voice, warm, soft and divine to her ears, made her eyelashes flutter. She felt Kundavai Akka's tender hands press her head, and she moved a little restlessly.

"Vaanathi? Chellame?"

"A-Akka..." Vaanathi whispered, though she really wanted to hear the voice of the youngest Puli, the one seen as the Dhruva natchatiram of Chozha Nadu. Would he not speak something? Just his voice energized her, she thought, eyelashes fluttering once more.

"Akka, the Kodumbalur komagal clearly recognizes your voice."

His voice was sweet even when masculine, sending her heart thumping. Why was he here? Was he not supposed to leave for Eezham, to fight on behalf of Chozha Nadu?

Vaanathi suddenly gasped and sat up in a stretch, scolding herself within when she heard Kundavai's worried exclamations. Had she really dropped the thattu like a foolish woman? A foolish, foolish woman.

"Akka, Akka."

She opened her eyes, meeting his brown, concerned ones first and freezing for a moment with time, which seemed to stop around them.

'Varmare,' her heart whispered, the romance of the name itself sending heat shooting through Vaanathi's body, a sensation she had never felt till she saw Ponniyin Selvar for the first time in Thirunallam.

That name was not for someone who had just met him, especially not for women who met him the way she had. And yet, the yearning of her heart had burgeoned with that simple eye contact.

"Are you okay, Ilavarasi?" he asked kindly, his eyes holding something only she understood; a kind of tenderness she had never expected to see in his eyes. Definitely not so early, after her blubbering around.

"I am, Ilavarase," she said, not caring that her voice trembled. He had seen her collapse. This tremble of her voice meant nothing. She saw a vein of admiration pass across his handsome, golden face, and to prevent herself from staring and sighing, she turned to Kundavai.

"Akka, Akka, what have I done?" Suddenly, the tragedy of her misfortune shone brighter than anything, except the presence of the Prince. Oh why had he stayed back? Is it just his compassion? Just his kindness?

Tears fill her eyes. Oh Ishvara! What if her misfortune of dropping the thattu will stop his chances from winning? Would she be the reason? Of course she will. How could she live with that? If she is unable to help increase his fame by even the smallest fraction, then of what use was she?

Was she not born just for him?

'ennaiya thanden unakkaga,' whispered her traitorous heart. She ignored it and looked at Kundavai, near demanding answers.

"Akka, my thatthu fell. What have I done, Akka?" She hugged Kundavai, hiding her face in the elder woman's shoulder. Kundavai's hands stroked her hair soothingly, gently shushing her with platitudes.

Vaanathi pulled back, about to ask Kundavai again, when her yaanai paagan...no no, rather Ponniyin Selvar spoke.

"Vaanathi."

She turned to meet his eyes, her own widening. His eyes, wide like the Lotus held deep brown orbs of unending warmth, ones that filled her heart with something close to delight, but also to recognition and knowing.

Had he just used her name? But they weren't...known to each other, were they? Then why had he used her name?

His face did not show a single discomfort at his slip, so it was not one, Vaanathi decided. He had purposely used her name.

"My Prince?" she asked quietly, her voice clearer than it was before. She did not realize how confident her cadence was, till she caught the expression on Parimala's face from the corner of her eye.

"There is no fault on your side," he says kindly. She went to interrupt, but the gentle shake of his head stopped her. She looked at him, hoping he would explain, which he did within a moment.

"Is it not normal for one to faint out of worry?" he said, nearly tenderly, making her blush. Her eyes went to Kundavai for a moment before she looked back at him, not wanting to interpret the knowing expression on the Ilaya Piratti's face. "I know you have faced this situation before. Your esteemed father, Siriya Velar has also gone to fight in Eezham, but lost his life in a valiant battle."

Vaanathi looked down, her lips trembling, before she looked at him again and nodded, just enough for him to interpret it as he will.

"But why do you think the same would happen to me, Devi?"

Devi.

That one term sent thrills through her body. Devi was a term used when there is endless respect, and that he used it for her shocked her.

He was giving her whiplash of sorts. First Vaanathi, now Devi?

"Worry is not rational, Ponniyin Selvare," Vaanathi said, ignoring the irritated looks on the faces of the other Princesses. She could not be someone she was not just to appease their anger and egos.

"No, it is not. But logic can beat the irrationality of it," he said cheerfully but also reassuringly, as if telling her to be brave and have heart. He turned to his elder sister. "Akka, please take care of the Princess of Kodumbalur. She needs your love and nurturing, especially because our beloved Athai has sent her to you for that express purpose, is it not?"

Kundavai nodded and said, "It is so, thambi. What do you advise I do?"

"Akka, take care of her as you know best, specially. Let the Princess of Kodumbalur not faint again, and definitely not in your care. And Akka..."

Vaanathi looked at Arulmozhi's golden face, taking in the expressions she was unable to read, but Kundavai clearly was.

"Yes, Mozhi?"

"Please let me know how the Princess fares in letters, alright?"

Kundavai's eyebrow went up in a miniscule action, before a smirk settled on her face, and she nodded.

"Don't worry, I will take care of Vaanathi. You go to Eezham. Vijayi Bhava."

Vaanathi's eyes met Arulmozhi's for a split second, before the Prince swept away after a quick but knowing glance at his Akka. She stared at the empty spot, still unable to believe what had happened.

Something told her- things were changing from that moment for her. He had done something that will now change everything.

It will change everything.

Jeevane OS 2- Snippet

As promised, here is the snippet.

'Varmare,' her heart whispered, the romance of the name itself sending heat shooting through Vaanathi's body, a sensation she had never felt till she saw Ponniyin Selvar for the first time in Thirunallam.

Hey please try to update jeevane a little faster it's really beautiful

Thank you!

Will post a snippet of Part 2 tomorrow, update to follow in the weekend.

[vishnavishivaa]

Sundari Kannal Oru Seithi (Jeevane OS 1)

As promised, here is the first OS!

*****

sundari kannal oru seithi

solladi innal nalla thethi

(Oh beautiful one, tell me an answer through your eyes,

Give me the answer on this auspicious/good day)

The skirmish among his sisters' friends gave Arulmozhi pause, an action a little out of the ordinary for him. However, as luck would have it, his helping nature was also very well known, and he felt a tiny smirk cross his face.

He swiveled to see what was happening, and if his Akka was there.

'If she is there, then everything is fine. If not, I will go in,' he thought to himself, his legs taking three steps forward even before he had seen what was going on.

Frowning when he saw his Akka hurry inside, he moved his neck, craning to see who was being carried in.

The golden cheek of the maiden gave Arulmozhi pause. He knew who it was instantly.

He had seen Vaanathi's jittery hands; the little tremble as she did his aarati. But he had seen it as her nervousness of sorts, given their first interaction and now finding out that he was Ponniyin Selvan.

Arulmozhi smiled wryly.

He had gone from being the 'yaanai paagan' to 'Ponniyin Selvan' quickly in her eyes, causing him to frown. He turned to meet the eyes of the lead soldier, smiling quickly but reassuringly.

"I will be back soon. I need to go find Akka."

With those words, he headed inside, but not before he caught snippets of what the elders were saying about Vaanathi's thattu falling.

"The thattu falling is inauspicious.." some muttered. They clearly had no idea he was trained to listen to even distant words, a helpful side effect of warrior training. Arulmozhi controlled himself from snapping.

The very thought of anything about Vaanathi being inauspicious sent swirls of fury into his body, vibrating through him. He did not know why he got so angry with her actions being called so, when she probably fainted either out of panic, worry or something deeper.

"But see, her light remains- bright. It is auspicious, the Kodumbalur Princess brings fortune for our Ponniyin Selvar."

These words calmed his heart a little bit. He did not wait to talk, instead nearly running in, knowing his sister will be in the antechamber closest to the entrance.

The antechamber was buzzing, full of maidens; Princesses from different clans of the Chozhas, in fact. Arulmozhi could hear their furious mutterings, but he refused to even listen to them.

Anyone who could be vapid about another woman but sweet to his face did not deserve his attention. He would rather focus on the woman now held up by his sister.

He could see, just by how Kundavai gently tapped Vaanathi's cheeks, that his sister had a deep fondness for Vaanathi, but did not yet know how to show it fully.

He would have to do something for his Akka.

But Vaanathi...first.

"Akka? Is she okay?" Arulmozhi asked softly, ignoring the surprised eyebrow raise Kundavai gave him. It would not do for their eyes to meet.

Kundavai knew Arulmozhi too well and would see more than the latter was comfortable showing. In fact, even his behaviour now would have triggered something in her. Kundavai was, as it is, too sharp to not notice things even when her focus was elsewhere.

And when it came to Arulmozhi? No chance.

"She will be, kanna," and there was the mild inflection only he had caught. Arulmozhi met Kundavai's eyes, which glinted with curiosity and knowing, and tried not to wince.

Uh-oh.

His Akka had caught on and was going to 'test' him, even if indirectly.

"But what happened, Akka?" he asked softly, his voice low, and his eyes on Vaanathi's golden face and closed eyes. He wanted to meet her eyes; the red blush on her cheeks when their eyes had met during the aarati was endearing to his heart.

"Is the Kodumbalur Princess okay?"

Arulmozhi could feel the furious eyes of all the other Princesses, for he had clearly known who Vaanathi was. But strangely, Vaanathi had never been around Kundavai when the Prince had spoken to her in the days he was at Pazhayarai.

"How did you know who she is?" Kundavai asked with a minute smirk, and Arulmozhi could feel the blood rush to his cheeks. However, he was not the Ilaya Puli for nothing.

He looked at his Akka and said, "We met once unexpectedly, and I got to know she is Periya Velar's niece."

He had also gotten to know her nurturing and kind heart, as well as her tendency to babble like a brook, and laugh gleefully when she found something funny. But that was for him to know, and for his big sister to never discover.

"Indeed she is, thambi. You know, she is Siriya Velar's daughter, raised by our Athai, Varaguna Perumanar."

"She is Athaiyar's step-daughter, is she not, Akka?"

Arulmozhi knew he was right, smiling mildly when his sister nodded, her eyes drenched with compassion and a tender fondness he had never before seen in her eyes for a Princess she trained.

Had Vaanathi touched his Akka's heart already?

'When she has touched yours with a single meeting and a few glimpses, would she not have Akka's, who spends a lot of time with her?' his voice snarked, and he ignored it in favour of listening to Kundavai's words.

"Do you remember how Siriya Velar Maama ascended to the heavens, Mozhi?" Kundavai asked gently, but in a tone only Arulmozhi would recognize as gently pushing him to remember.

"He lost his life in..." Arulmozhi faltered, suddenly understanding what Kundavai was getting at. "He lost his life in Eezham. Akka, is that why the Princess fainted? She remembered what happened to her Appa?"

"That is my belief. She was incredibly close to him. She has often told me that he was everything to her. Athai also wrote the same to me."

Arulmozhi said nothing, though his eyes fell on Vaanathi's face- golden bronzed in complexion, more oval shaped like a crescent moon, a tender flower, yet he could sense that hidden under layers, she was incredibly resilient.

"I want to wait for her to wake and make sure she is okay, Akka."

Kundavai cast him an imperceptible look, and Arulmozhi knew what it was for. Kundavai had seen something in his face, and would definitely match make Arulmozhi with Vaanathi hereafter.

But despite his current stance against marriage, Arulmozhi found he did not mind it, though, to be fair, he may also create issues about it.

'Open your eyes, Princess of Forests,' he urged her from within, and he saw her eyes flutter open. A quiet smile dawns on his face, one that made all the Princesses around melt, but made Kundavai get a thoughtful, sharp gaze.

One which generally spelt trouble for anyone on its receiving end.

His eyes met her beautiful, doe-like eyes, the brown orbs peeking at his in what looked like worry, pain...and was that a tint of a blush?

"Kodumbalur Ilavarasi, how do you feel now?"

Her eyes, mesmerizing in their movement, locked on to Arulmozhi's, and she said, "I am okay, Ilavarase...oh no, what have I done?"

The sudden shift from calm to panic threw Arulmozhi off for a moment, before he realized that Vaanathi might not be like his Akka.

But how did that matter?

Her eyes, when they had met his, had given him the answer he needed. The answer he had waited for, though he might not admit it.

His presence flustered her, which is why she hid from him. A smile threatened to break its way across his face, but he schooled himself.

When the time came, he would bring it up himself. For now, he had to listen to Vaanathi's worried talks and Kundavai's gentle consolations.

Her flustered feelings and his own reactions are for a different time in life.

I have been thinking- what do I post properly for my comeback? And I keep pushing back, unsure what to post.

And then again, Rama and Krishna keep coming back to me- I have been reading a lot of both Ramayana and Mahabharata, and I want to share those verses with you all, as well as other texts I have been reading.

From now, this account is for everything, though Sanatana Dharma will be the focus hereafter, with Ponniyin Selvan and other such things I love interspersed, including my writings.

Expect posts a few times a week, with my thoughts on certain verses, and my interpretations.

Āgamana - VaidarbhiShyamaa

|Rukmini Krishna|

She was surrounded by ten women, all silent. No sound of anklets, no whispers, not even the usual rustle of silks. It was as if the palace had ordered the air itself to still.

Too still.

It had been an hour since she stepped out of the palace gates. Eight hours since the jasmine was tucked into her hair - now limp, clinging to her neck as if it were tired of waiting. Seventy-two hours since she’d sent the letter.

That letter.

She hadn’t even signed it. Just wrote what needed to be said and sealed it with trembling fingers. Come get me out of here, it said, without saying it so directly.

The jasmine had begun to brown at the edges, one petal falling loose and catching in the fold of her saree. She didn’t reach to fix it. Let it fall.

Every second stretched. Her heartbeat was loud, but she was not anxious. Her hope, somehow, had grown more stubborn. It should have shrivelled by now.

Died quietly inside her chest. But no. It sat there, full of nerve. as if challenging everyone who didn't believe in it.

And she liked it.

"He won't come, Rajakumari," her maid whispered - the first to break the silence and, in doing so, cast all attention on the former.

"No." She knew it in that irritating, unreasonable part of her gut that refused to believe in disappointment. "He will."

“He’s not coming,” one of the maids said, not unkindly. Just tired.

She didn’t answer. She stared straight ahead, at the dirt path disappearing into the horizon, letting the words slip off her like water.

He had listened. She believed that.

Or maybe he hadn’t. Maybe he’d laughed, tossed the letter into a fire, muttered something about her.

But even thinking that felt wrong.

Then - a sound.

The women straightened. Someone gasped.

Dust swirled in the distance.

She blinked once, slowly. Her chest didn’t rise. Didn’t fall.

The sound grew louder. Fierce. Real.

Chariot wheels tore across the earth like they had something to prove.

And there he was.

Just him. Hair wild. Tunic wrinkled.

Eyes sharp, locked on her like he’d been doing nothing else for the past seventy-two hours.

She almost laughed. Not because it was funny, because this was so him. Last-minute, dramatic, absurd. Just like she'd heard from Narada. What made her fall in love with him without even seeing him.

He looked at her with his head tilted, as if he knew everything she was thinking. Like she hadn’t needed to write a single word.

He held out his hand. The world stopped for her. She didn't look at anyone's reactions, but her actions were proudly announcing See, I was right. He came. For me.

When her fingers curled around his, it felt like everything she hadn’t been allowed to say had finally spoken.

“Late. You were late, Krishna,” she muttered.

He smirked. “You didn’t put a time in the letter, Rukmini.”

"I did. Indirectly. Through my urgency, Swami."

"As you say, Vaidarbhi."

Rukmini knew her brother’s messengers had already been dispatched. That he was riding towards them. She also knew no one could separate her and her Swami now.
