[sarvashreshth-dhanurdhar]

oṁ namo bhagavate narasiṁhāya namas tejas-tejase āvir-āvirbhava vajra-nakha vajra-daṁṣṭra karmāśayān randhaya randhaya tamo grasa grasa oṁ svāhā; abhayam abhayam ātmani bhūyiṣṭhā oṁ kṣraum

I offer my obeisances unto Lord Narasimha, the source of all power, who possesses thunderbolt-like nails and teeth. May He vanquish our desires and drive away our ignorance so that we may become fearless.

[Bhāgavata Purāņa 5.18.8]

Shubh Narasimha Jayanti!

When did Hindus become so insecure? I just watched a video where a group of people were hitting a Christian woman and forcing her to say "Jai Shree Ram." Before you think I’m against Hindus, know that I’m a Hindu too. Many of the people who loudly shout "Jai Shree Ram" likely haven’t even read a single Veda in their entire life. I may not know much about the Vedas either, but I do know this: if they had read even one verse of the Bhagavad Gita, they would never insult or harm someone for following a different religion.

Quick question: What are the Ashwins supposed to be the Gods of? According to the Vedas? There is so little information about them I could find.

Ashvins are commonly heralded as the physician gods of medicine. They are also heralded as "the best of charioteers" and solar deities, being the sons of Surya. They are sometimes called the Sun and Moon (very Mitra-Varuna coded). Their chariot is apparently a "three-columned triangular car", so a trichariot, per se.

They are very much golden retriever coded, and are friends with Ushas, so much so that they are asked to be worshipped together with her.

Debunking Fake History: How the British Manipulated Hindu Scriptures?

👉 👉 The Hidden Reality of Historical Manipulation History is not just a collection of past events—it is a powerful tool that shapes the way people perceive themselves and their culture. When manipulated, it can be used to control societies, alter identities, and even justify oppression. This is exactly what happened when the British colonized India.

Some words for those who think Indra is a BIG. BAD. womaniser and villain?

(im just seeing too much of this shit ok and it's so L :p)

Tata-

*clears throat*

I can go on a whole ass rant but I'll keep it as concise as possible.

Indra being flawed is the very thing that makes him... HIM. It's the very thing than makes him INDRA. His weaknesses, his bad decisions, everything. Also nobody in the entire Hindu pantheon is perfect (yes, not even your beloved Vishnu/Krishna/Shiva, etc. Bite me :3). Literally all the gods are flawed. Many of the gods can, in fact, be considered... womanizers... if we're considering Indra one.

He is definitely not the villain. He's a king, and a king sometimes abuses his powers. A king might get greedy at times, and at times he might throw a fit, and make bad decisions. A king can be stupid sometimes, and silly.

"Oh he has lost so many battles against other Gods he's so weak"

That's because all the texts he's lost battles in are either in favor of the Gods who are winning, or just complex stories like that. Read the Rig Veda, which was written in favor of him, and he's the strongest one in there (alongside Agni). However, I'm not saying he can't lose a battle. All I'm saying is that Hindu texts are biased. They're like fanfics of authors with a favorite God, and in those texts, that favorite God is portrayed the most powerful. Simple as that. Same goes for the Rig Veda. It was biased towards Indra and Agni mostly, but at least it wasn't as biased as some of the later texts (*bombastic side eye*)

All in all, idc if anyone gets offended, but literally no deity in the Hindu pantheon is perfect, morally or on any other basis (if you think anyone is perfect it's fine, you do you, but remember that your personal belief isn't canon for the whole of Hinduism). Indra is one of those imperfect Gods. And that's why we love him. Because perfection is boring (to me, at least).

Maybe my fellow Indraites can also deliver some words regarding this topic - @inc0rrectmyths @hydestudixs

Sanatan Hindu time calculation

कालगणनामित्रों आज मैं आपको मनुष्यों के समयसीमा और देवताओं के समयसीमा में अंतर बताने का प्रयास करूंगा। हालांकि इसका मेरे पास कोई शास्त्र प्रमाण नहीं है परन्तु शास्त्रों में वर्णित समय व हमारे द्वारा बोले गए संकल्प का आधार लेकर ही प्रयास किया है। घंटा मिनट वैज्ञानिक समय है, इसलिए मैं इसी से शुरुआत करूँगा। जैसा कि आप जा��ते हैं, 60 सेकेंड का 1 मिनिट, 60 मिनिट का 1 घंटा होता है दिन और रात्रि को 24…

MahaVishnu, Hiranyagarbha, Parmatma

This material world (1/4 of the Spiritual Sky) is made up of unlimited massive Brahmanda material universes, all coming from Maha-Visnu’s Bodily Form, from His breathing and the pores of His skin.

I KNOWWW THE WAY I SNICKERED

Okay so he's more than just a horse. And he's definitely not a vahana.

First of all, he's obviously a red horse. He's called "the red one". In the Rigveda he's considered Agni's horse, but in other sources he's referred to as "the horse of the Gods"

And THEN

In the later vedas, especially in the Atharva veda (samhita), he gains the identity of an independent god (yayyyy)

More info:

The Tiffany effect I had when I realized Agni's horse's name is fucking ROHIT??? 😭

WDYM HIS HORSE IS CALLED ROHIT?!?! 😭😭

WHY DOES HE EVEN HAVE A HORSE?? I THOUGHT HE LIKED RAMS 😭

Rohit... LMFAO 😭😭

All the Vahanas having cool big names and then we have Rohit the chad ✨
