They’re not mere pieces of literature for you to write whatever you want about them without understanding it properly. To us, they are holy texts connected deeply to our culture and history.
i have often heard people refer to women as devi insisting on their divinity. but often the implications are about Sati or Sita; the ones who perform sacrifices as their earthly duties. but what if she’s not?
what if she’s a mere human with many many faults and flaws that she works on diligently? what if instead of being single dimensional, she’s kaleidoscopic? what if she’s wrathful like Chandi but also demure like Gauri? what if she’s the source of life like Aditi but also dwells in cremation grounds like Kali? what if she’s wise like Saraswati but also possesses immense beauty like Laxmi?
if you really think about it, perhaps her dharma is only to figure out her life and honor her own light. perhaps, the reason she exists is for herself but she chooses to welcome others and love them. perhaps, she is the embodiment of all the devis; but on her own terms, just how she wants to be.
cannot emphasize enough how much these two have never met before. literally the only interaction they've had prior to the start of the vid is seeing each other from across the party and kinda chasing each other for like maybe thirty seconds. this is their meet-cute. they have never spoken.
I like the fact that how Lord Vishnu is portrayed like this calm CEO who speaks in a soothing tone and has everything planned and handled but some of His Avatars:
1. VARAHA DEVA:Speared Hiranyaksha with His tusks
2. NARASIMHA DEVA: Ripped apart Hiranyakashipu ,drank his blood and garlanded Himself with his intestines
3. PARASHURAMA DEVA: Killed the entire Kshatriya clan 21 times before retirement
4. KRISHNA: Kanha is well... Kanha
In my humble and unqualified opinion , the closest any Avatara of Lord Vishnu to His Bhujangashayana form is Lord Rama. Calm and serene. I can sit at His feet for hours and look at His face.
Asking everyone, very graciously, to please refrain from using the word SWASTIKA when referring to the symbol used by Nazis/Nazism. That's not the correct term.
The term you're looking for is HAKENKREUZ.
Swastika/Swastik is an ancient symbol which is holy and sacred to Hindus (and other ancient cultures). We Hindus still use it in our rituals, and it's highly offensive to us to see the use of the word Swastika in relation to Nazis.
It's a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity, of good luck and celebration. Let it remain so in the collective consciousness. Please don't kill its true meaning by perpetuating the hateful theivery of Nazis.
"INDIA IS NOT CASTEIST ANYMORE BECAUSE OUR PRIME MINISTER AND PRESIDENT ARE NOT UPPER CASTE!"
So sick of constantly seeing this take. The USA had a black president for 8 years. Did that make racism magically vanish from the country? Just shut the fuck up
