#and that's NOT a good thing

I have a lot to say about ISCKON and its leaders (hi Amogh Lila Prabhu, looking at you especially) but I just wanna let you know how this particular leader was convinced into joining this organization by foul means. Foul how? Lemme tell you.

He was a devout Shivbhakt. And then when he came to ISCKON he still wanted to be a Shivbhakt. But then he was shown scriptural "facts" about how Shiv is a secondary God/demigod to Krishna. THIS is where I have a problem.

You can be a monotheistic Hindu sect. But to say that Shiva being inferior to Krishna is the ONLY canon is not "facts". It's SOLELY the belief of YOUR sect/org. What kind of facts did they show you, Prabhu? Did they show you the Veds, which have literally no mention of this idea? Did they show you these Veds that don't consider Vishnu to be the supreme deity, but rather the focus is more on Indra, Agni, Vayu and other gods, which your org considers to be "demi-gods"? Also how is it possible that you being so passionate about Hinduism didn't do your OWN research? Did you simply go "Huh... makes sense."?? All you had to do was look at the Veds, which were written BEFORE the epics and the Gita. And there were your "facts". (Sanatan Dharm is NOT the ENTIRE Vedic pantheon my guy sorry to burst your bubble lmao).

Again, I'm not saying religions don't change. But when you say "scriptural facts", ALL scriptures come into consideration. From the Rig Ved to the Bhavishya Mallika. So you are free to consider Krishna as your Supreme Godhead for all I care but do know that "scriptural facts" ALSO say that Krishna is NOT the supreme Godhead, that the other Vedic Gods were JUST as powerful as he was, if not more, and that Hinduism is NOT solely monotheistic, and a lot more that you and your lot find uncomfortable and hard to digest. Because guess what, Hinduism and all other pagan religions NEVER had a linear path and JUST ONE canon event. I'm tired of regurgitating the same words oml.

In short, all I'm saying is... practice Vaishnavism and let others practice their own beliefs in peace. If someone worships only Indra and Agni don't go around telling them that they can't achieve eternal peace because these two are "demigods" and shit. I'm sorry ISKON was biased with their "facts" and made you a Krishnabhakt from a Shivbhakt in not a very ethical sense but eh, whatever. As long as you're happy who cares. But let others worship their own gods and PLEASE don't falsely spread the idea that Krishna as the Supreme Godhead is the ONLY canon event, because it's so not. And pls stop disrespecting the other Gods. Forgetting your roots and discarding the Veds doesn't erase the history and timeline of this religion lol.

sony's multiverse spider-man story is about how spider-man isn't defined by trauma. the mcu's copycat multiverse spider-man story is about how spider-man is defined by trauma. how did you copy their homework and still reach the completely incorrect conclusion. kidding i already know it's because corporations want storytelling to be an algorithm and not an artform but it's still impressive how wrong they are

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!

idk why people get super pedantic about the movie logic in Home Alone and start and try to pick it apart, because like, its a Christmas movie about a child accidentally being left home alone, the premise isn't exactly asking us to suspend our disbelief that much, and yet nearly every single "gotcha" question I see people bring up about this film is literally answered within the first 15 minutes :/
