Yakshi (nature spirit): Mathura, India, around 200 AD

[tomorrowwithme]

I can't stop LAUGHING 😂. They chose pictures of Apsaras and Yakshis (female nature spirits thats equivalents in Greek mythology are water and forest nymphs) and try to claim that because they're voluptuous like anime girls drawn by pervs it means that "Hinduism is misogynistic". Who's gonna tell these fuckers with no elementary knowledge of Indic sculptures and mythology how moronic they come off as? Are you gonna be mad at 2000+ year old sculptors for sculpting Apsaras, Yakshis and other SUPERNATURAL beings?

These porn brained westerners and their Indian sepoys masquerading as feminists don't even deserve a response. Our Devis have big payodhara which nurtures us like MOTHER. Apsaras and Yakshis are shaped so beautifully because they have feminine essence which was worshipped by our ancestors!!! We bow to Chamunda who has no breasts. Soon these westerners will come after Shivalinga for being chauvinistic and whatnot. Western feminists, who even pulled up cultural relativism like the mini nazis they are, fuck off and focus on your males who travel to Africa and Asia to grape kids.

Yakshi

Yakshi is the name of the desi vampire from my grandmother's stories. She is always an extremely beautiful lady, with doe eyes and long hair, the smell of pala and tinkering of anklets accompanying her arrival followed by the echoes of her bell like laughter.

Her story might change in shades but the essense remains the same. Scorned lover, pretty girl, innocent child, always betrayed and left to die by a man, she is said to come back with a thirst for revenge and for the blood of the humanity that caused her doom, waiting by in the dark to lead the men who is at the wrong place at the wrong time to their death.

And it was this legend that gave birth to Onam a festival of Kerala. Onam is a festival with snake boat races, floral designs and lamps are lit in the night to welcome Mahabali.
