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.
Since Mod G is trying to revive the blog, I'll also do my part. I decided to begin it by sharing this painting I think about a lot. It's called 'Krishna Consorting Radha in a Guise of a Gopi' by Sunayani Devi. It's on display at the Indian Museum. And I absolutely adore it.
It's supposed to be flirting but it just looks like Krishna has the SICKEST gossip to share. The tea is piping hot and he's about to serve it.
bro oh my god it's so fucking frustrating how everyone even the many hindus themselves have forgotten the actual torture and horrors inflicted on Hindus by the islamic invaders.
like genuinely why? if people's hate towards Israel for what it's doing to Palestine and Jews hate for N*zis Justified then why is Hindu people's hate and dislike for islam gets everyone squirming in their seats?
like Israel deserves hate because they're so cruel and bad !! N*zis deserve hate for what they did to Jews because it was cruel and bad !!
and just like that Mughals deserve hate for the oppression, torture and horrors they inflicted on hindus for more than 500+ years right? RIGHT? wrong because the moment a Hindu or anyone for a matter of fact raises this issue and expresses their dislike they get absolutely teared down to shreds by others as if he has committed the biggest sin. why? why are we not allowed to hate islam and islamic invaders when they had quite literally forcefully entered India, Killed hindu men, kidnapped their wives and r*ped them making them their sex slaves not even leaving a corpse alone and it got so bad that hindu women had to start Jauhar/sati and chose to burn themselves just to be safe from these disgusting pigs, slaughtered cows in front of temples, destroyed hindu temples and idols then stepped on it, forcefully converted the hindus, fed hindus beef forcefully, killed so many you g hindu kings and princes and so much more and this horrendous torture continued till the last reigning mughal emperor.
and after all of this i still see so many muslims cursing hindu gods in the most nasty way possible and saying such disgusting things it makes me shivers and let's not forget about the hindus that are being killed in Pakistan and Kashmir and all of this why? just because hindus started doing exactly what muslims were doing to them? just because they started fighting back?
so tell me why? why is the hatred and dislike of hindus not justified but the hatred of muslims is justified? tell me why even so many hindus are protesting for palestine and standing against Israel but the moment a hindu says anything about islam these same people along with muslims and all start attacking them cancelling them but they go quiet when a muslim does the same thing?
it is a genuine question. i just want to know why do people still defend mughals while throwing the sacrifice and torture hindus had to go through under the bus?
Is it only me but whenever you feel krishna residing in your heart and you are reminded of the fact that he exists within you, be it your good deeds or the love that bounds you to other people; life always feels calmer and much happier. Like, no matter whatever sort of shit went down recently, since I have krishna with me and i concentrate my mind on him, i feel happy and joyful in situations which i would have probably overthank about otherwise. I am filled with so much love right now, and it's like my energy keeps on being more and more polished day by day because I have krishna. (Not me totally imagining krishna and me as chaotic besties. I am stupid for imagining myself dancing along with krishna ? I guess not, he loves me lmao-)
I want to sit at Shri Rama's feet and look at Him. No words , no wishes and no rants. Just watch the Divine serenity of His face and lose myself His eyes. He is an ocean of peace. I don't have the merit to dive into it but what I can do is sit on its shores and admire it.
And this is my Bestie. All I want to do is barge into the gardens where He is sitting and pour out all my problems to Him. He would listen to it all and pat my head and tell me "Don't worry Sakhi. Your Sakha is there, always has been"
