. . Ras Leela . Kamadeva conquered all the devas of Indra Lokh with his love Bhana & Ego crept in him that no one can escape from his love darts, On knowing this Lord Krishna wanted to teach him a lesson, He invited Kamadev to Vrindavan on a full moon night & said to him that, That night he would enjoy the company of countless Gopis & If Kamadeva finds that the Lord had slightest passion or lust for any of them then Kamadeva wins, & if he doesnt he should accept his defeat, the challenge was accepted, Kamadeva kept watch as Lord Krishna began to play an enchanting tune on his flute. The tune attracted countless Gopis, their passion reached its pinnacle towards love for lord Krishna like being in a trance, all of them ran to meet their beloved Krishna who was playing Venugana under the Kadamb tree. Gopis gathered around Lord Krishna., To test their devotion & to make Kamadev understand, Krishna asked the Gopis to leave back home, not to stay there at wee hour of night., He also added that they can gain him by pure love and not by physically presence.. . Gopis said that all they wanted is to be at the lotus feet of their beloved Master, These words of pure love Gopis had for him pleased the Lord. He began to enjoy their company., by multiplying many folds one for each Gopi & danced all night..!! But Kamadeva found no lust or passion and accepted his defeat.. .

. . Pradyumna was son of Lord Krishna and 61st grandson of Adinarayan. His mother was Rukmini, whom Lord Krishna had abducted from Vidarbha on her invitation. Pradyumna was born in Dvaraka. He was the incarnate of the demigod Kamdeva. He had been burnt to ashes formerly by the anger of Lord Shiva. According to the Bhagavata Purana, within a span of 10 days of Pradyumna's birth, he was abducted by the demon Shambara. He was then cast into the sea and swallowed by a fish. Under the protection of Lord Krishna, the fish was caught and purchased by Shambara. Pradyumna was found inside the fish and was raised by Mayavati, Sambara's cook and the incarnation of Rati, Kamadeva's wife. When Pradyumna grew up in a short while, Mayavati told him the truth about their identities. He battled the demon Sambara and killed him by severing Sambara's head with his sword . Pradyumna's wife was Mayavati, the incarnation of Kama's wife Rati. At first Pradyumna objected, but he was convinced when she told him that she was destined to marry him, he marries her and brings her home where Sage Narada (left) and Krishna - Rukmini (right) welcome Pradyumna and Mayavati (centre) .

. . A typical scenario from a Tamil Brahmin home in 1960's..The father seen in traditional panchakatcham dhothi &white vest, wears rudraksh beads mala, sports viboothi kumkum in forehead, wears a mechanical watch, has both his ears pierced with kadukan, relaxes on the swing in the living room, he prepares fresh paan from the betel box which lays open adjacent to him, next to him, his mom stands in traditional madisar red saree with jewels, asks him about the preparations to be made for the nearing diwali festival, while his wife stands besides her near the kitchen door, listening unable to voice her opinion but still wants to, His married son stands near the wooden wardrobe dressing, lends his ear to their talk, while his wife the daughter in law of the house stands next to him over hearing their conversation, his elder daughter stays aloof on a wooden bench uninterested, while his younger daughter seen reading a newspaper gets distracted by their talks, The wall hangs a mirror for dressing, an old umbrella which doubles as a walking stick hangs nearby, Wooden collapsible wall hanger holds a shirt, while the maamis saree is hung above on a pole indicating madi, their grandchildren are seen happily playing around, one young girl skipping, another boy seen beneath the swing with a slate, another girl seen lighting a sparkler match stick, youngest baby seen happily crawling with an elephant pull toy, the floor is shown yellow which is due to cow dung with turmeric mixed application, proven anti bacterial and safe for everyone...A happy family . .

. . Lord Vishnu has chosen here to appear in the form of Narasimha in order to kill Hiranyakashipu without violating the boon given by Brahma. Hiranyakashipu cannot be killed by human, deva or animal, but Narasimha is none of these, as he is a form of Vishnu (a deva) incarnate as part human, part animal. He comes upon Hiranyakashipu at twilight (when it is neither day nor night) on the threshold of a courtyard (neither indoors nor out), and puts the demon on his thighs (neither earth nor space). Using his nails (neither animate nor inanimate) as weapons, he disembowels and kills the demon . #indiantiquest #antiqueshop #lord #antique #antiqueart  #antiquesforsale #narashimha #jeyanthi #hinduism #antiquestory #slayingthedemon #mythology #lordvishnu #pragalad #dhasavatara #painting #indiandecor #vintageart #storyofindia #vishnu #antiquepainting #incarnations #antiquedecor #bakthapragalad #hiranyavath #myantiquestory (at Indian Antique Quest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdhhGXdARFR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

. . Dhamodaraksha . One day young Krishna was stealing butter from the kitchen, Yashoda quietly crept from behind & tried to catch him. Krishna darted away with the butter pot, it fell and broke. Yashoda angered by his mischief, got a rope to tie him & chased him, only to realize that it was impossible for her to catch the quick footed child.. After a tiring run Krishna was caught by Yashoda, who tried to tied him up., but Yashoda realised that the rope was too small. To Get some more rope, she tied him temporarily to the Wooden mortar. Soon there was a loud noise. Everyone rushed out to see that Krishna had dragged the heavy mortar, when the mortar got stuck between two trees he had pulled so hard that they had fallen down & these trees were the cursed sons of Kuber, the god of wealth. By making them fall Krishna freed them from the curse.. . .
