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.

About Vedic Scriptures

[h0bg0blin-meat]

I think I need to make it clear for many Vaishnav (looking especially at you, ISKON) Hindu extremists (and even many Shaivites) that ya'll can have your sects and your beliefs as Vishnu or Shiva as your supreme lords. I don't have an issue with that.

But when you try to say that this is the ONLY truth about the Vedic religion (I'm not using Hinduism here because it doesn't sum up the pantheon as much as the ''Vedic" word does, despite the term being associated with the Vedas, and yes we need to come up with a better word that comprises this entire pantheon as a whole), that's when I have a problem, because that is definitely NOT the entire pantheon.

Do not spread the beliefs of your sect as the ONLY canon belief and don't speak for the people who don't fall under this category. I have seen this in all of social media and it pains me how much of a linear pantheon this once oh-so flexible culture has become.

Yes the concept of Prajapati and the Supreme being has existed since the Vedas. But when you say that Vishnu and Shiva are somehow superior to other gods as the ONLY CANONICAL BELIEF, that just flips me off, and I'm gonna call it out.

How dare you forget the four Vedas, that had no mention of such an idea? This might tick some people off but Indra, Agni, Rudra (which later became synonymous with Shiva, but is a whole different deity), Mitra, Varuna, Vayu and a few other Gods were just as much powerful as Vishnu or Shiva, if not more. This is ANOTHER canonical truth that these extremists (again, somehow mostly Vaishnav) are denying.

Ancient pantheons weren't some linear path with just one canon event. These were their own multiverses of a plethora of VARIOUS canon events, myths and legends. So stop making the Vedic religion a linear, rigid pantheon. Remember? It's not an organized religion. There can be SEVERAL canonical truths. Like I definitely understand that a religion/culture changes overtime. It evolves. Fine. Vishnu is the supreme God now, fine. But you can't deny the history. The Vedas that didn't canonize this. Are you gonna say that these Vedas, that came BEFORE this Vishnu/Shiva being the considered the supreme lord(s), were wrong? I hope not lol.

Besides, I'm not even gonna get into ISKON. They have regarded anyone that's not Vishnu as a demigod, which is ABSOLUTELY VILE AND DISRESPECTFUL. Do they even KNOW what a demigod is??? FUCK NO. They don't. They just like to use that word to inferiorize other deities, due to their unhealthy and toxic obsession with Vishnu, who doesn't deserve it. On top of that they have claimed that worshipping such gods will not lead you to eternal peace, or that it's somehow wrong. Ah yes. Gotta love gatekeeping and toxic cult fan behavior. Call me rude but if you disrespect a GOD (yes, Indra, Mitra, Varuna and others are ALSO GODS, FYI) is WILD, and they should be called out for it. (Some Shaivites have done the same in case of Shiva, and they need to be similarly called out.)

In conclusion, worship whoever tf you want, but remember that theologically, and even historically, there can be more than one canonical story. It really depends on which sect/region you belong to. You CAN be a polytheist. Idk why Hindus these days are inadvertently trying to appeal to the monotheistic pantheons so much, to the point that they have an internal dislike for polytheism, which they're not aware of, but it shows when they speak up.

This pantheon (like every other pagan pantheon back in the day) is very broad. Remember that. And it's very flexible. So let it be like that, and stop gatekeeping it and having a war between who supreme Lord is. I'll stop my yapping here. But I hope people understand this. Cuz damn.

💠The Nodes Rahu & Ketu 💠

Rahu - known as North Node.

Ketu - known as South Node.

💚 In Vedic astrology, Rahu Ketu play a pivotal role in the inner psychology of an individual. They represent the subtle deeper desires and apathies of the soul developed over a long series of past lives of the individual. The Push & Pull axis of the Chart.

💚 They are essential to know the inner drive of the person we are dealing with. Ourselves.

💚 In the ancient allegory of our Vedic history & our divine legacy, the story of how the deep cosmic ocean ( Unconscious + Subconscious) was churned by the Devtas (our light aspects) and the Asuras (our shadow & dark aspects). Thus their combined effort and their integrated strength ( integrating our light & shadow within ) led to the the search and attainment of the Amrut ( of our true essence , our true self )

💚 Shri Vishnu ( Personification of Pure Sattvic essence )personifying himself as Mohini was serving the Amrut to both the groups starting with the Devtas. One of the Asura Swarbhanu came and stood between Sun & moon and also drank the Amrut by impersonating himself as a devta. The moon & sun objected but he had already drank the Amrut. And Shri Vishnu on account of deception used his chakra ( weapon ) to cut Swarbhanu's throat, And thus survived the Head known now as Rahu and the headless body known as Ketu as the Amrut had already been drunk. 💠🦋

So Rahu ketu are in reality one and they drank the nectar, the Amrut, the true essence of our immortality. They experienced that our duality is illusion and We are more than we perceive ourselves to be.

🌼 Thus deeply searching and integrating their energies in ourself is the only way towards the deeper truth of our reality that is beyond birth & death, beginning & ending, happiness & pain of our human life. 🌼

So the deepest desires, our past talents, our deep experiences our joys & regrets of so many lives are represented by these nodes.

🌾☘️They subtly and deeply influence our psyches. Rahu represents present inquenchble desires that only give momentary satisfaction & Ketu represents all that we have experienced fully and thus are indifferent to. 🌾☘️

[𝐯𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜] 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬

I am still studying and learning more about Vedic astrology. These are my observations and knowledge acquired which I am sharing with you all.

[Don’t plagiarize my work]

▪️ 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐮 can cause the person to overthink and carry a lot of mental stress. They should try to keep their thoughts as positive as they can since Ketu is a headless planet and will lead the emotions astray. It can also indicate that your mother will help you learn a lot of lessons in this life.

▪️𝐉𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟐𝐇 in D10 chart is a career placement associated with enlightened Gurus/ Spiritual teachers.

▪️𝐀𝐫𝐝𝐫𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬 are the type of people who look so calm on the outside but their mind is brewing a storm. Their mind is constantly churning new radical ideas.

▪️𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢 are people who end up sacrificing a lot in relationships. They are highly devoted individuals and usually end up attracting partners who need spiritual and emotional healing.

▪️𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚 ruled people have striking eyes. They could have hypnotic eyes or a very ethereal gaze.

▪️𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚 people and their love for medical-related stuff 🤝 They do not have to be doctors or physicians but are naturally inclined to learning more in the medical field. Could also be into alternative therapy.

▪️ Natives who have a 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲𝐚 𝐘𝐨𝐠 are really good communicators and can earn a lot of fame and wealth by just their communication skills. This Yog only happens when Sun and Mercury are in the same house and Mercury is behind Sun (Less than 3° and More than 12° difference). But please note it depends on the house placement, house lord placement in Navamsa, Nakshatra lord strength and many other factors which need to be collectively taken into account.

▪️𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐚 Nakshatra may feel lonely or melancholic even if surrounded by people who love them. It is their Karma to learn to appreciate their own company and appreciate the people around them. The faster they learn this, the quicker they can overcome this past life lesson.

▪️𝐀𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐚 𝐍𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚 placements can get a bit frustrated about the outcome of things which in turn can lead them to feel melancholic and aggressive at times. They are also very secretive individuals. They will never reveal their plans even after fruition.

▪️𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬 love being surrounded by nature. Being outdoors gives them a boost of creativity and comfort. They are able to portray their emotions really well through arts and media. Also give good advice to people.

Symbol of Ardra Nakshatra ( 6°40′ to 20°00′ Gemini): Raindrops, Teardrops, Storm, A human head & Diamond

a storm : dangerous and destructive side of mother nature but at the same time storms act as natural cooling systems of this planet, through lightning it create more ozone, bring rain to the areas where it was much needed, replenish the underground water. Deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra, the god of storm. Rudra & his female counterpart Rudrani were born when Brahma became extremely frustrated with creating beings to populate this universe. Similar to the storm, Rudra & his offspring were fiery, destructive, angry, dangerous, howling. Ardra signifies the frustration that creativity brings ,shows us the things that we have to overcome before we are able to create what we desire. Just like the storm, it represents the need for destruction, importance of rest, starting with a clean slate, forgetting & letting go, discarding things do not serve us anymore. It reminds us that creation & destruction go hand in hand and they both need each other. Anger and destruction also serve a purpose.

Teardrops cleanse our pent up emotions & grief like raindrops replenish nature. Additionally it symbolizes the source of all sorrow, sadness & grief.

Diamond shows their strong determination & brilliance

Ardra is also represented by a human head ( Brahma's 5th head ) which symbolizes ego, arrogance, lust.

Short observations about eyes 🧿

[Note: This is for vedic astrology. I'll mostly state the nakshatra & the moon as it's associated with the eyes. I might add more in the future!]

𝔹𝕚𝕘 𝕖𝕪𝕖𝕤

❈ Moon 1H & 2H, quite self explanatory as the 1H is known as appearance & the 2H is known for the eyes/face.

❈ Jyestha & Anuradha moon, both yoni is a deer like those bambi/doe eyes.

❈ Ardra & Moola moon, the yoni is a dog that gives a puppy dog eyes effect

❈ Punarvasu & Vishaka moon because of the Lord being Jupiter. Jupiter is known for expansion.

❈ Swati placements especially in the big 3.

𝕊𝕞𝕒𝕝𝕝/𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕡 𝕖𝕪𝕖𝕤

❈ Ashlesha in the big 3 especially ashlesha moon as ashlesha is associated with the naga (serpent/snake).

❈ Chitra moon as chitra yoni is a tiger & they're usually known as a fierce animal with sharp eyes.

Can anyone be a vedic astrologer or write about vedic astrology ?

The answer is so obvious : a giant no. Yet people on this app, astrology entertainers/bloggers, are trying now to talk about vedic astrology. Is it becoming a trend to put a little bit of vedic astrology inside “astrology observations” which are mostly based on tropical astrology ? Same astrology observations that are so full of stereotypes that make people resent astrology ?

Most of those bloggers don’t know anything about the sacral role of Vedic astrology and they are not trying to. Vedic astrology is based on beliefs, rituals, gods and prayers. Each Nakshatra is ruled by a God. Each planet has a specific role. Nothing is all black or white in Vedic astrology and everything makes so much sense to those who are destined to talk about it. It’s not for everyone. So please. Let’s stop this. And it’s so disrespectful to talk about something that everyone can’t comprehend and spread wrong information about it.

Each post I made on Vedic astrology is based on several sources and also on my own knowledge. I have been studying Vedic for years now and I don’t consider myself knowledgeable enough about the subject, I am still learning so I just avoid pretending that I do because I am constantly evolving and learning about it. I only share what I know when I am certain it can help people. And that’s what astrologers should be about : aiming to help the collective with a knowledge that can be useful, being cautious with it too and learning each day. And not writing about it for the purpose of entertainment, likes, comments and shares.

So let’s be clear : not everyone can talk about Vedic astrology lightly and definitely not to entertain people. It’s not made for entertainment. It’s pure spirituality, it’s part of a religion, of a culture and people daily lives. It’s also part of religious rituals so let’s just be more respectful of it and quit trying to use it for entertainment while not backing up by the background knowledge/training/personal placements necessary to talk about it.

{Do I put myself inside those tropical bloggers astrology ? No my content is different and from the very beginning, I never aligned my content with astrology observations that are so popular here. Even if I wanted to I couldn’t. Cause my blog has only one purpose : helping people through astrology. It’s not for entertainment purposes. It will never be.

My goal is to always provide knowledge that can be useful. I am even learning more about Vedic astrology than tropical lately and I want to write exclusively about Vedic astrology from now on. (After finishing my last articles on 12th house signs and placements). I am taking some time off at this moment because I needed a break from writing but I also needed to write about this as I have observed it a lot lately on Tumblr. }

NB : If you want to comment, go ahead leave me a comment I am always open for a good and constructive discussion. Plus this post is absolutely not to criticise anyone’s work but to express my opinion based on what I have observed and seen here… And to reinforce the fact that I will always be against pure entertainment purposes when it comes to astrology because it leads to superficial interpretations and stereotypes of the signs and placements.

*This is based on new information I have learned but I also was feeling this deeply for a long time.*

Thank you for reading me 💜

I lost a part of me in Vrindavan

Mera kuchh reh gaya udhar

I couldn't spend more than 2 days there but I don't know

Sab bohot apne se lage

Aisa laga jaise Mai koi aisi jagah aa gai jo Prithvi ka hissa nahi hai

Aur ek ladka Mila jiske aankhein mujhe Andar se jhakjhhor diya

Pata nahi Kab meri Laadli ju ki kripa prapt hogi aur dobaara jaane ka saubhagya prapt hoga

Suna hai Vrindavan mein Marne se Gupt Vrindavan ka ansh ho jaate hain

Jahaan Thakurji ke Vigraha aapse baat karte hain, Maakhan maangte hain, do din naa jaao toh haal puchhte hain

Nahi chahiye mujhe swarn, swarg ya swayambhaav

Mujhe bas mere LaadliLaal chahiye

(This man stole something from me. Agar Pata mile toh Bata Dena Sakhiyo)

The secret told by Shri Krishna

The secret told by Shri Krishna

There is no character more attractive than Lord Krishna in Mahabharata. People who have read Mahabharata have many doubts in their minds about such character of Lord Krishna.

Why did the Pandavas have to face so many difficulties despite the presence of Krishna? If Draupadi calls but Krishna does not come? Could Krishna have stopped Dharamraj from going gambling? Like Suodhan had played with Shakuni, Dharmaraj might have played with Krishna in the same way? Why didn't all this happen? Unless you are in danger, can't you stop the danger from coming? Many such questions naturally arise.

Lord Shri Krishna also answered these. At the end of Mahabharata, the above questions were asked by Uddhava to Lord Krishna.

Uddhavadu: And you are very close to the Pandavas, right? Can you stop Dharamraj from gambling or would you have gambled on Dharamraj's behalf?

Krishna: Uddava! Remember, the wise always wins. Suodhana was intelligent and played with Shakuni because he did not know how to play. Dharamraj did not have that intelligence. It would have been different if Dharmaraju had also asked me to play, but he did not. I was waiting at the door for him to call. He didn't call, he prayed that I wouldn't come that way. Because of his request I did not go. All the other Pandavas were scolding Dharmaraja for his defeat but he did not call me. Even Draupadi did not remember me until she took off her clothes. If I had been called, wouldn't I have come?

Uddhavadu: Does this mean that if you are in grave danger and you have been called but you will not come?

Krishna: Whatever happens in life happens according to karma. I can't change karma, but I will be with you and see everything.

Uddhavadu: What I mean to say is that when we are trapped in trouble, danger and confusion, what do you do except staying with us and watching us?

Krishna: Uddava! You are not noticing one thing here. How can you make a real mistake if you can see that I'm right next to you? But you have forgotten that I am there.. You do not know me, you make mistakes and suffer the consequences of those mistakes. Recognize and remember me who is always with you…do the work…then see how sweet will be the fruit of that work..

That secret has been told by Krishna. It is enough to have the vision that Krishna is always with us. If you remember that he is next to you, watching everything..

Our life goes on smoothly. This is the main secret which Lord Krishna told to Uddhav.

#desiblr How about we created a similar website like theoi.com, but for Hindu mythology? People will get to know more about this pantheon then.

[vedicastrology-thestarsguideyou]

🤍 Venus - The essence of beauty.

शुक्र - Shukra is known as Venus .

In Sanskrit , Shukra (Venus) means clear or bright. He is also known as the Guru of the the Daityas - the powerful but demonic beings. ( In whom ignorance , selfishness, dullness , greed is more high ) . These are the most difficult students & difficult lessons to learn . And these are also the traits that are also within us that lead us away from our true self .

There's deeper meaning to it .

Venus signifies beauty , material wealth , sensuality, Art , love , sex , creativity, relationships, great depth of understanding , soft & tender feelings , comforts , addictions , and most importantly spiritual wealth too.

On a superficial level Venus grants outward beauty , good relationships , love , sex , material wealth & possessions but on a deeper level , Venus is clarity & illumination . It represents the true essence of beauty which can only be felt within , the clarity we attain after realising our true self , the love we discover for our all parts of personality - the soft tender & the rough rejected dark edges . Understanding our selves and thus the compassion we feel for ourselves , the brightness of our hearts .

Venus also represents our relationships. How our relationship is with our inner world reflects in our outer relationships & world as well. 💌

🤍 When we establish and honor our need for quality time for solitude , we are able to connect with something permanent within. The silence & the depth of stillness. And in that stillness , true love blossoms . This love encompasses not only ourself but all others.

☘️ It's significations - singing , painting, literature , dance etc carry the song of the soul . It's for its own sake. The blossoming happens within & the fragrance shares itself & thus attracts. 🪷💚

🌻Sex is another way to transcend the boundaries of our timid self and experience that unification with everything & nothing .

🤍 Venus also teaches us that lower levels of addiction are in itself just inadequate ways to obtain that true understanding and love . It's the teaching as well as a lesson. You can get lost in the Mirage of Maya ( Illusion) that Venus creates or you can see through it and realise what really matters. The truest , most intimate love relationship you will ever have is with yourself first.

🤍 In solitude , silence , stillness & with proper guidance , in the environment of pisces , Venus finally gets to emit it's true brilliance. It's true face.

🪷The understanding that the other is the self too.

🪷That there's only oneness. Letting go of our boundaries & merging.

🪷That You and I are one on the deepest Level. That god is everything & nothing . And this is the reason why Venus is exalted in pisces in the sweet tender creative nurturing last Nakshatra of the karmic zodiac cycle - Revati. 🤍 Total dissolution , transcendence & Realisation of self.

💌Life itself is art & thus living intensely & fully in the moment . The beauty , terror & the adventure . Venus teaches us the tantrik way of living . Immersion and witnessing .💌 Simultaneously.

Folk Goddesses of Bengal

বনবিবি (rom. Bonbibi)

In the sparse region that confines the largest mangrove forest on Earth is the Sundarbans. The delta of the mighty Ganga, Brahmaputra and the sisterly Meghna is the region of co-existence between man and the wild. Bonbibi is the protectress of the forest, the wild, the bees, the birds, and the people. She represents the bounty of the forest, and her foe the tiger king Dakhin Rai, the hazards of the same. Her fierce battle with the evil Dakhin Rai has been inspirations for many. She doesn't differentiate between who pray to her, the hindu, muslim, christian. Just as the forest doesn't differentiate between who it welcomes, or who it discards. The forest, and the rivers form the livelihood for the forest dwellers, who pray to the mistress of bees, tigers and the creatures of the forest before embarking of their daily hunt for bread. However, the goddess has one condition, for she is the mother of all of the forest,

"Take what you require, not more not less. Don't harm the forest, and no harm must come to you."

A simple norm by which those who enter the delta, must abide by. A simple norm, which we all must abide by.
