Ok one thing they don't show on screen of Mahabharat Adaptation is Draudapi was “Rajasvala” meaning “a menstruating woman” when the whole cheer-haran happened.
At that time, a Rajavala used to wear one single cloth or “Ekvastra”, so when the horrific vastra-haran began, it was that vastra that turned to a never-ending miracle.
One thing that I also noticed is how there's now this disgusting taboo that a woman is "impure" during her period, but Kanha ji listened and he came to her rescue when she called. He turned that same blood-stained cloth never-ending just to save her honor!
I wish this taboo will go away because God is in You so how can you ever be “Impure” especially experiencing something very natural and perhaps healthy too? He would've come to her rescue whether she was menstruating or not, but I love this detail because this signifies that nothing makes a difference to him, so why are we making women feel bad or worse "impure" in the name of God when not even God feels this way?
k i was having a shitty day buT THEN WE GOT ALL THIS FREE STUFF AT TACO BELL COS WE WENT AT CLSOING TIME KANHA ILY OMG
Krishna : I am so cool. I am an absolute Chad. I am the epitome of coolness and awesomeness—
Radha: Hi.
Krishna : *melts down in a flustered heap of softness*
having a bit of a philosophical/existential crisis...
I've always been a seeker of truth, a philosopher, sometimes beyond my own good. there comes a time when I don't know what to accept or follow as my truth.
Shri Keshav says in Bhagavad-Gita that he meets anyone where they want to meet him. but how am I meant to know in which form I want to meet him? is it Shri Krishna, Rama, or even those such as Lord Shiva, Jesus, etc. ?
I feel very much attached to Shri Krishna but how am I meant to reconcile the truth of absolutely everything, with the love for a Keshava who dances and enjoys and is merry among his sakhis and sakhas? how do I reconcile these identities. how do I reconcile the innumerable forms He takes for himself to approach all of us and touch our hearts, and choose the one that is for me? or is it simply just the form of the unknowable, infinite, Supreme being. but then how may I love him for his heart-pulling qualities and get personally attached to his form?
sry lol a bit diff to what I usually post...
"Those who are devoted and have love for Me, in their constant contemplation of Me, their lives intertwined with Mine, they illuminate each other with their knowledge of Me, and their conversations are filled with the joy and contentment they find in Me." ~Bhagavad Gita 10.9
love the bit that says he is everything yet nothing <3
Krishna is beautiful. Krishna is love. Krishna is gentle. Krishna is the little mischievous darling boy of Vrindavan. Krishna is the flute-playing sweetheart of the Gopis. Krishna is the solace of the cows and his cowherder friends. Krishna is a thief- stealing away mākhan and hearts from every home in Vrindavan.
Krishna is all this. Krishna was all this for as long as he stayed in Gokul-Vrindavan. Later on...
Krishna is the Yugpurush of Aryavarta. Krishna, the slayer of Kamsa is the fearsome Chakradhar. Krishna the husband of Lakshmi-swaroopa Rukmini is Yogeshwar. Krishna is the protector of Draupadi and the Pandavas. Krishna is the invincible Charioteer of Arjuna. Krishna is Nārāyan. Krishna is Pārabramh.
He is all this too and again, He is not bound in any of these roles. He is everything and nothing at the same time. Nirākar-Nirguna and Sākar-Saguna. Krishna is what his devotees need him to be. He is Eternal and Endless.
Krishna is the universe and beyond. He is vast and yet in my heart Krishna is just the gentle flute-playing darling of Gopis. Little bundle of Yashoda's joy. Yugpurush and Parambramh and Dwarkadheesh he might be for entite Aryavarta- but for Braj he is the little boy running around, the one who got tied up to the ookhal by Ma Yashoda, the one who ate dirt and bathed in river Yamuna. He is just their little Krishna, their Joy and bliss. Nothing more, nothing less.

this post is all about how to process emotions that we are uncomfortable with, safely and positively. Today, I’d like it if you’d try to implement at least one technique today!
Remember that when you feel an emotion, it is your body communicating itself to you. Listen to your emotion, and understand.
All emotions are temporary, and will pass. But some can leave a more long term effect on us.
Having the skill of sitting through uncomfortable emotions calmly, and not let it impact our lives greatly will serve you well.
STOP TECHNIQUE
S- Stop what you’re doing, pause all activities and shut off your brain.
T- Take a few deep breathes, continue until your focus is only on breathing deeply.
O- Observe your thoughts, your body language, any physical sensations and acknowledge them within you.
P- Proceed with any activity that may help you process this emotion. Meditation, journaling, stretching, talking to someone, etc.
ALL TECHNIQUE
A- Acknowledge, accept and alllow what you feel. Identify what emotion you feel, if you can’t, try to associate it with something. Sit in this feeling for awhile and truly accept it within you.
L- Link it to a circumstance or situation that may explain why you’re feeling this way. E.g ‘I feel so irritated lately, it may be because I’ve been eating sugary foods more’
L- Learn what this emotion may be telling you. There’s not much detail on this because only you know what your body needs/wants.
SELF EXPRESSION
Draw, write, compose music on what this feeling looks like, sounds like, maybe even their taste. This really helps go deep in your emotions, analyse it and then hopefully process it.
