I know I'm gonna attract a lot of speeches and stuff with this statement but I'll tell you something-
Both Arjuna and Kanha are incarnations of Shri Narayana so shipping them with each other romantically is not fun y'all (they are also the twin sages Nara and Narayana so that makes it more yikes? Twincest bro? Why?)
It's weird, and while I do fully support the lgtbq+ (bhai I'm demisexual myself), please don't insert it in itihāsa scriptures where it's not. Yes, I know about Sudyumna and Ila and how King Bhagiratha was born. Even Khajuraho has homoerotic sculptures and yes the community deserves respect just as any heterosexual personality does. Yes hinduism embraces homosexuality openly and there's nothing to be ashamed of it. But jahan hai vahan hai, jahan nahi don't put it there. Imagine labeling a person with wrong pronouns and wrong sexuality, not respectful right? Why do it with divine people? I know Kanha's everybody's buddy here and I'm nobody to tell people how they should worship him and what bhāva should they harbour, but like? It's not canon? Don't do it? People can be platonically very affectionate with each other and we should normalise it? And not term them as someone they're not? Fandom nahi hai bro, culture hai, dharma hai. Jise dhaaran kiya jaye, vahi dharma hai. Our ethics, morals and principles are our dharma. We have evidences of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. So it's not like they're fictional, are they? I know Tumblr pe we're all having fun and aisa hota hai yahan, I myself adore #ParAv very much but seriously writing smut on them? Making sexual jokes? Painting them as some people they're not? Why? Just because a large number of people are doing it, doesn't make it right.

Omg I've been tagged! @scissorsaint it's nice to be thought of 🫶. I was reminiscing last night on the Iron Maiden concert I went to after learning they're being considered for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which I think they should already be in. That concert was truly one of the best nights of my life ❤️.

How do you see Krishna? as your brother, a parent? a friend? whatever you may. And include one of your favourite art or picture of him.
For me, I see him as an older brother, or a really close friend, someone I can talk with whenever I want to, someone who gives me advice whenever, someone I can play around with, someone i can gossip and laugh with, someone who is always there for me.
This is one of my favourite artworks of Krishna, I'm not sure who the artist is but if anyone knows PLEASE tell me.
I'm not sure who here celebrates but i'll try to tag those who i know.
@zeherili-ankhein @randomx123 @shubhadeep385 @livingtheparadoxlife @aru-loves-krishnaxarjuna and uhhh whoever else!
I see Krishna as a best friend, someone I can share my thoughts, problems, and joys with. I joined because of him and he's been by my side since, I love him.
My god makes mistakes. My god gives the right blessings to the wrong people. My god sometimes keeps quiet when he sees injustice. My god pretends not to listen to my pleas. My god refuses to let anyone see him. My god is not always right. My god does not makes the right choices. My god sometimes lets bad people roam the earth free. My god lets the good people suffer. Why?
Maybe because, my god is not an all-powerful, all-knowing being. Maybe he is human, just like me and next person. My god makes mistakes, and then he gives himself a chance to correct them, asks for help to correct them. Be it Shiv asking Vishnu to preserve the universe, because he gave the wrong asur a boon. Be it the gods asking Parvati to help defeat Mahisasur, because they gave him a boon. Maybe, this is what makes my god so godly. He asks for help, something we can't do. He accepts his mistakes, something we can't do. He forgives, something we can't do. He speaks up when he must, something we can't. He defends, protects when he must, something we can't do.
I believe in God. Because, my god is the one who broke his promise to help five brothers win a war for righteousness, my god is the one who kept his promise and saved a woman's honour in front a court full of men, when her husbands failed to protect her honour. My god is the one who gave a person a hundred chances to correct himself, but sheathed his head the moment he made the same mistake one-hundred-and-one-nth time. And, my god is the same one who took a form only to feel a mother's undying love. My god is the same one who refused heaven without his wife. My god is the same one who cried rivers helplessly when his wife was abducted. My god is the same one who selflessly adhered to his father's orders and left for exile. My god is the same one who became deaf to his mother's weeps and left his throne. My god is the same one who walked down the path of Shabri's hut, ate her half-eaten fruits, with delight. My god is the same one who gave his friend who fed him rice with devotion, his whole palace. My god is kind.
My god doesn't promise me a stormless sea, he promises me an unsinkable ship. He doesn't answer my prayers right away, but he also doesn't punish me for my sins right away. He gives the bad people a chance, but he also tests the good and pious ones. That is why I believe in my god. My god doesn't promise me eternal happiness, he promises me unshakable will. My god doesn't vanquish all that is bad and evil, instead he preserves the good, because he knows, utopia is a myth. My god does not promise me heaven if I live right, nor does he banishes me to hell when I sin. Instead, he gives me a chance to correct my wrongs over millions of births, and finally gives me a place at his abode when he deems me worthy.
Maybe this is why, I love my God, I do not fear him. I do not fear what will happen to me if I sin, because I know, he will give me a chance to correct me. But, I also know that he won't keep quiet if he sees me repeatedly do wrong. My god doesn't ask me to worship him all day, my god asks me to do what I must, and remember him while doing so. My god doesn't ask me to give all that I own to him, he only asks for my ultimate devotion. And that is why, he is my god, my anchor, the one who fights battles for me I don't even know about, the one who helps to fight my sorrows, the one who only asks me to do what i must, and leave the rest to him, the one who carries my world on his shoulder.
And as the story goes, he will come when he must. He will show himself to me when he must. He will give me what I want when he must, he will punish me when he must. But, I know, he will always love me, he will always comfort me, he will always anchor me when all goes wrong. He will always look after me when no one else can. He will always fight with the world for me. He will always forgive me, when the world even refuses to look at me. And that is exactly why, he is my god, my savior, my friend, not someone I fear, but someone I love.
Hello, I have written a original story that I am currently working on, it's a sci-fi slice of life about an alien living with 2 humans on earth, kinda like Mork and Mindy type vibe. Please check it out, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Here's the summary:
Earth, 2000. While relaxing after coming home from work, Steve sees something crash from the sky, landing in the parking lot next door. Now he has to balance living with an alien, work, love life, and more.
So I'm Smarta/ (to a degree) Advaita Vedanta and I have yet to find someone who believes the same way as me on this; so in various scriptures it states that Shiva and Vishnu are one in the same and inseparable, it also says the same for Shiva and Shakti so I see all 3 as one entity, it makes sense to me cus we have the Harihara and Ardhanarishvara forms. Is this a weird belief and does anyone else believe this?
So I'm not sure if I should tell a swami about this or not but for starters I'm a convert and during my very first diwali a few years back, I was meditating and had a vision at first I just saw the trimurti and Vishnu, brahma, and Shiva were in a triangle shape glowing blue, and slowly behind them i started seeing flames, what looked like a destroyed city skyline, and people in distress and pain. It made me sob, going stop over and over again and I just wanted to know what that might mean or what it was of...any ideas about it will help
I have something I'd like to say to the right wing hindus/sanatani here (in America and it's politics)
How can you follow the party that wants you deported or killed? How can you spout hate and lies while claiming to be righteous and following dharma? How can you even claim to be sanatani when you are spouting hate at people different from you, when you are being abusive or misogynistic towards women when Durga mata is your mother? you spit at her every time you do that, or when you're Colorist, or Racist, or as I've heard some use Casteist against people different from you, that is not dharma; not when you pray to Krishna, or Shiva, Kali mata, or Vishnu. How can you claim to be so pious and just when you eat animal flesh and only go to temple on holidays? Or when you hate someone and which death and ill will on them because they are gay, when nowhere in scripture does it even mention them manusmirti was a unneeded, unholy law book and following it to me is not following dharma. The scriptures say that we are all hindu, all born with a connection to the divine, therefore we are all made in a holy image and are all equal.
I sometimes feel that I'm not doing enough with my life, but at least I grew my first two arms significantly before a cactus would have been expected to.
