Story story story

since it's 12:45 am and i've run out of brain juice.

here you go with a legend

Kalidasa, the greatest sanskrit poet's greatest work is said to be Kumarasambhavam, or The Birth of Kumara (another name for Kartikeya, hindu god of war, commander of the heavenly armies, and Lord Shiva and Lady Parvati's eldest son).

The work is actually incomplete. It's not that we haven't found it, it literally doesn't exist, cause Kalidasa hit writer's block (don't worry, the epic is still pretty great).

The legend part? Well the epic contains a porno consisting of Parvati and Shiva having sex, written in painstaking detail. Goddess Parvati got offended that a random human on earth was outing her bedroom secrets, and so she cursed Kalidasa with writer's block so that he never finished Kumarasambhavam.

The Description of Uma’s Lovemaking - Kalidasa

Shiva taught her how to make love in their bed; Parvati offered him back herself, full of grace of a young woman, like a present one gives to one’s guru She trembled in pain as her bitten lower lip was released slowly Parvati took a deep breath of cool air coming from the crescent moon in Shiva’s hair While kissing her long hair dust fell into Shiva’s third eye Parvati blew it off with her perfumed breath fragrant as the smell of a blossoming lotus So the lord of the beasts whose mount is Nandi- the Bull, gratifying Kama, the God of Love by immersing himself in pleasures of senses lived for a month with Uma in the Mountain King’s palace.

Transcreated from Sanskrit by Abhay K.  from Kumarasambhava 8.17-8.20

[ji-jii-visha]

Yesterday is but a dream. Tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Kalidas

[entheognosis]

Please subdue the anguish of your soul. Nobody is destined only to happiness or to pain. The wheel of life takes me up and down by turn.

Kalidas

[con-alas-de-angeles]

Death clung to him subtly, robbing the warmth of his eyes and silvering his beauty with a wintry touch. And yet, I saw how he was beautiful. It was his presence that conjured the brilliant peacock shades of the late- season monsoon sky. It was his aura that withered sun-ripe mangos and ushered in the lush winter fruits of custard apple and singhora chestnuts. And it was his stride that adorned the Kalidas Mountains with coronets of snow clouds.
