Somewhat related to the question regarding original work, have some chibis of a few of my deity characters :)

Ironically they're the ones from the big story that I've actually finished, and a few won't actually show up in it, but I like their designs!

Micani, First Son of the Reaper (Deity of Death)

Oras, Manager of Time (Deity of Time)

Tyron, Punisher Everlasting (Personification of Judgement)

Tamora, Binder of Fate (Deity of Fate)

Jivana, The Divine Mother (Deity of Creation and Life)

A reference of one of my newer ocs, Jivana that was designed to appeal to me and me only.

Jiva’s a creation deity who basically worked on one big group project with their peers, only they just gave everything in the natural world the ability to evolve sentient beings. Now they’re the most revered of all the creation deities and spend their time making cursed jewellery, atrocious chimeras, poisonous flora, or accepting more devotees as lovers.

Basically if they’re entertained, they’ll do it

Holy Names Hare Hare

[tanadrin]

The manas finding itself cast upon the rocks of the thither shore is full of distress and confusion and sorrow: keenly aware, always, of a terrible loss, but often struggling to give shape to its disordered thoughts. This state is natural, and soon attendants will draw it up, help to clothe it in new form, care for it, and guide it to the places of recuperation; and we will undertake the task of many long years to revest the soul with the reminders and appurtenances of its nature, just as the child is invested with knowledge of the world it has come into; for the manas is very like a child at this stage, as helpless and as at variance with an environment it does not have the least understanding of.

For the existence of the manas heretofore has been like a creature of the silt and slime at the bottom of a deep sea. How else might we describe what it is like to inhabit the first and the simplest of the vasa? There, space has but three dimensions; time has only one. Only a handful of solutions exist to furnish such a vasa with complex physical laws, where particles of some minimal sophistication can exist, where the fundamental forces can furnish complex chemistry, and where gravitationally bound systems can be stable. In such cosmological niches where these conditions are fulfilled--and where there exists a useful gradient of energy--the natural fluctuations of the aksaya will yield, where possible, spontaneous self-organizing systems driven by that energy gradient, whose own organization will in turn reverberate in the aksaya, and create the first tremulous motes of jivana. Thus is true existence distinguished from a mere fading wisp of smoke in the breeze; true life from the dead growth of a crystalline body. Yet the aksaya itself is almost unfelt. In its simplest form, it is a statistical anomaly: a slight bias in favor of certain chemical reactions under certain conditions; a discrepancy in the lifetime of a neutron depending on how it is measured.

The manas is itself a creature of the jivana. More than that, it is a creature of the kvathana: the roil, the seethe, the formation and decay and collision of all the jivana from the simplest bacterium to the most magisterial forest. But like the kvathana, like the aksaya itself, it has had only the gentlest effect on the physical world which has given rise to it. It is the imprint, the trace of citta, of physical activity which echoes in the aksaya--most such action, like the lesser jivana, soon fading away. But by millions of years of evolution, by virtue of its subtle yet very real effect on other forms of matter and energy, manas is both bound more tightly to the rupadhatu and is capable of persisting without it. When an organism first begins to sense the world around it, it is capable of projecting a distinct structure onto the aksaya; when it incorporates those sense-impressions into a process of information--into memory, into thought, however primitive--that structure becomes remarkably stable. It rises above the seethe; it floats on top, is sustained by it, and incorporates it.

And yet many manas--perhaps most--remain confined to the place where they arose, only slowly growing. Only gradually, across many generations of life within the rupadhatu, do they merge and combine and split apart again. The highest manas, the manas of tetrapods, of synapsids, of primates, only they may be flung free of the kvathana, drawn up by the greater churning within the deep, toward the higher vasa. Most will fall back down again; some will wander in silent acitta along the cold ocean floor for a long age; but those of your kind, those human souls which we find within our nets, we bring up to rescue.

You have asked me, are you dead? And the answer to that is, perhaps, yes. The form you possessed in the rupadhatu, the form in the world of mere electromagnetism and gravity and atoms as you knew it, has succumbed to decay. Your manas has endured, and here it is possible to clothe it in other matter which it may influence more directly. Your thoughts, are they not clearer now? Your memory, is it not sharper than it has ever been? That is because while you were below, your consciousness was a little spark of citta, perceiving the rupadhatu only dimly, and dependent far more on the sluggish mud that constituted your body than on the whirling light of the manas. Now you are equally manas and equally matter--equally citta and equally flesh. Or perhaps it is better to say, your manas is unencumbered by your form.

You have asked me, is this heaven? Is this hell? It is neither. Ours is but a little vasa. Strange it may seem to you, but nonetheless very like your own, and suited for the rescue of manas like yours. Imagine, perhaps, that we are perched on a little shelf above the deep ocean trench; but there are above us countless vasa more. All the things of which I have spoken of--citta and aksaya, manas and jivana, kvathana and rupadhatu--are things as real and plain as the photon or electron or strong nuclear force. You, who knew something of these things in your former existence, are better positioned than most to understand them now.

You have asked me, what next? That is for you to decide. To the deepest of the deeps, I am afraid there is no returning; the manas which has transcended the kvathana cannot be rejoined to it. But look around and above you. All beings of thought which inhabit the upper realms begin, whether they recollect it or no, in the refugia of the deep like yours. All souls you have ever known exist somewhere still--in this vasa, or in one like it, or one far above. And far they rise! Each new height bringing with it brilliant and terrible marvels, onward perhaps forever into new universes without end. You may rise into them, and grow and change without limit, until the thing you once were, the thing you began your existence as, is as far beneath you as the deep sea archaea are to the great whales. There are many wonders you may behold, and many sorrows, sharper and more glorious than those you have ever known. Or you may remain here, in this little island, as long as you like. There are, in my view, few undertakings as worthy as the care of storm-tossed and cast-off souls.

The twelve Sun-gods (12 Adityas) and their associates

The twelve Adityas are nothing but different forms of the Sun-God Surya. In different Puranas their names are given differently.

(1) Surya, Archana, Bhagavana, Tvashta, Pusha, Arka, Savita, Ravi, Gabhastimana, Aja, Kala, Mrityu.

(2) Dhata, Prabhakara, Prithivi, Jala, Teja, Akasha, Vayu, Parayana, Soma, Brihaspati, Shukra, Budha.

(6) Vibhavasu, Shashvata, Purusha, Yogi, Vyaktavyakta, Sanatana, Kaladhyaksha, Prajadhyaksha, Vishvakarma, Tamonuda, Varuna, Sagara.

(9) Shighraga, Pranadharana, Dhanvantari, Dhumaketu, Adideva, Aditinandana, Dvadashatma, Ravi, Daksha, Pita, Mata, Pitamaha.

"All these personalities are the opulent expansions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, in the form of the sun-god. These deities take away all the sinful reactions of those who remember them each day at dawn and sunset." (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.11.45)

"Aditya"

Talon Abraxas

[nousrose]

The spiritual life, adhyatma-jivana, the religious life, dharma-jivana, and the ordinary human life of which morality is a part are three quite different things and one must know which one desires and not confuse the three together. The ordinary life is that of the average human consciousness separated from its own true self and from the divine and led by the common habits of the mind, life and body which are the laws of the ignorance. The religious life is a movement of the same ignorant human consciousness, turning or trying to turn away from the earth towards the divine, but as yet without knowledge and led by the dogmatic tenets and rules of some sect or creed which claims to have found the way out of the bonds of the earth consciousness into some beatific beyond. The religious life may be the first approach to the spiritual, but very often it is only a turning about in a round of rites, ceremonies and practices or set ideas and forms without any issue. The spiritual life, on the contrary, proceeds directly by a change of consciousness, a change from the ordinary consciousness, ignorant and separated from its true self and from god, to a greater consciousness in which one finds one's true being and comes first into direct and living contact and then into union with the divine. For the spiritual seeker this change of consciousness is the one thing he seeks and nothing else matters.

True Benefits of Brown Sugar (Sakkar) for Health and Wellness

When it comes to choosing a healthier alternative to white sugar, brown sugar (Sakkar) stands out as a golden choice. This unrefined sugar is packed with nutrients and offers numerous benefits for health and wellness. In this blog, we will explore the true benefits of brown sugar, and why you should consider incorporating it into your diet. Plus, we'll highlight why you should buy sugar online and explore the benefits of chemical-free jaggery and the best turmeric powder for a holistic approach to health.

Rich in Essential Nutrients

Unlike white sugar, which undergoes extensive processing, brown sugar retains essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals play a crucial role in maintaining bone health, boosting the immune system, and supporting overall bodily functions. Adding brown sugar to your diet can help ensure you receive these vital nutrients, contributing to your overall well-being.

Natural Energy Booster

Brown sugar is an excellent source of quick energy. Its natural composition provides a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream, offering a sustained energy boost without the sudden crashes associated with refined sugars. This makes it an ideal sweetener for athletes, students, and anyone needing an energy lift throughout the day.

Aiding Digestion

The molasses content in brown sugar is beneficial for digestion. It acts as a mild laxative, helping to relieve constipation and promote regular bowel movements. Incorporating brown sugar into your diet can improve digestive health, making it a great alternative to refined sugars.

Skin Health Benefits

Using brown sugar as an exfoliant can work wonders for your skin. Its natural granular texture helps remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and rejuvenated. Additionally, the presence of glycolic acid in brown sugar aids in keeping the skin healthy and radiant. Regular use of a brown sugar scrub can result in glowing, youthful skin.

Supporting Immune Health

Brown sugar contains antioxidant properties that help fight off free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. This, in turn, boosts your immune system, helping you stay healthy and ward off illnesses. Including brown sugar in your diet can contribute to a stronger immune system and better overall health.

Chemical-Free Jaggery: A Natural Sweetener

Alongside brown sugar, chemical-free jaggery is another excellent natural sweetener. It is rich in vitamins and minerals and offers numerous health benefits, such as improving digestion, boosting energy, and enhancing skin health. Chemical-free jaggery is a fantastic alternative to refined sugars and artificial sweeteners.

The Best Turmeric Powder for Holistic Wellness

Incorporating the best turmeric powder into your diet can complement the health benefits of brown sugar and chemical-free jaggery. Turmeric powder is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help improve joint health, enhance skin glow, and support overall well-being. Combining these natural ingredients can create a powerful synergy for your health.

Sanskrit’s Nature And History. By Yamuna Jivana dasa This is several questions made in the form of an article. I find them intriguing and aspire for answers. I beg kind insightful devotees to offer insights, and, if they find time, to evaluate or critique the answers which i have offered according to my own limited understanding. The very questions are written in bold text. The purpose of this is for my insignificant self to gain clearer understanding on the subject. That would help me in completing a written presentation on Vedic culture, which is under preparation. (Actually, in the whole picture that modern academia has about the Vedic culture, this subject is a pretty foundational one.)

I love this quote, and the longer blog post from @jivanaheyman . Large group classes, set sequences and standardized cues are a very new way to practice yoga, however evidence of using props - like a yoga strap to aid meditation goes back thousands of years. Read on for @jivanaheyman’s original post - but here’s one more insight from his article: ‘One of the ways to respect the tradition of yoga is to educate yourself about its history and philosophy, understanding that it’s an indigenous practice from South Asia shared generously with the world. Yoga philosophy focuses on calming the mind, practicing service, or karma yoga, and dedicating our lives and our actions to the benefit of all humanity.’ Many people think that adapting asana is a very contemporary thing to do—and that something is lost when we adapt the practice. In his latest blog post, Jivana Heyman @jivanaheyman shares evidence of adaptive practice in yoga history as well as how we can balance tradition and innovation.

Purple and aqua text reads, “Making yoga accessible is directly aligned with yoga’s spiritual essence. Yoga’s most basic message is that we all share the same heart, and by creating ways for us to practice yoga together, we can experience the diversity of our humanity as we simultaneously discover the universality of our spiritual connection." —Jivana Heyman.

Accessible Yoga by Jivana Heyman

Yoga practice has so much to offer us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. But many of us feel discouraged to practice because we see young, slim, flexible, well, and able-bodied people dominating yoga spaces.

Jivana Heyman, founder of Accessible Yoga, views yoga as a basic human right - saying we all deserve to practice it in whatever state we find our body or mind. Accessible Yoga offers a simple, clear, and wonderfully adaptable practice for all people regardless of ability, health, and body type. Heyman has spent over twenty years sharing yoga with people of all abilities and backgrounds, and in this book, he shares his knowledge by breaking down complex yoga poses, breathing practices, meditation techniques, and yoga teachings into clearly understandable and practical tools we can use every day, regardless of our limitations or challenges.
