HAPPY JANMASHTAMI TO EVERYONE 🫶🫶🫶🫂

Can't talk about any iconic bhakts of Maa Saraswati, but I've never heard a single performance of folk singers in Awadh not have a geet dedicated to Mata Sharda Bhawani. They sing her glories for she is the goddess of art and music.

And Maihar which is in Madhya Pradesh now, is the seat of Sharda Bhawani, and people in huge numbers go there from Awadh to worship her. I've never been there but I really wish to go there one day.

I am

Maybe

A teeny tiny bit salty there aren't like well known iconic Saraswati bhakts

Atleast not any that I know off

There's Mirabai for Krishna and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa for Maa Kali

Like c'mon dude,

I expected atleast a legendary poet or astronomer or mathematician

I'm sure that the ancient universities of India were busttling with Saraswati bhakts

But why didn't they write down any of their stories and lives :(

GURL SAME

Like where did all the Saraswati bhakts go?? Just disappeared into thin air??? 😭😭😭😭

Some or rather most universities were filled with Buddhist ideologies tho so I don't know how many were Saraswati Bhakts bit I'm sure there were some ofcourse

Also another reason could be is because Saraswati wasn't/isn't much worshipped, like in the way Kali, Durga, Vishnu, Shiva, Lakshmi and all are worshipped with temples and elaborate rituals throughout Indian subcontinent...

Like I can maybe name a few temples dedicated to Saraswati and only maybe the eastern side, have a dedicated day to worship her

So yeah... Its sad she doesn't gets the recognition she deserves tho :(

Went here last year after visiting Ghrishneshwar Mahadev.

Look at the hypocrisy India did not purposefully target civilians and all the intellectuals on tumblr were hating on India. Here Pakistan is clearly going after civilians and you all are silent on this? Fucking Hypocrites

Divine🤌🏼✨

Them>>>

well then point it out in every single religion because they all are flawed

this hinduphobia gang is so stupid its unreal because what the actual fuck do you mean that 'caste violence is an accepted fact' WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU ACCEPT SOMETHING SO INHUMAN.

atrocities are happening in YOUR NAME. people of your religion are commintting it, and you think its enough for you to just accept it?

this is fucking privilege. you think you get to stay passive while people are killed, raped, displaced, and tortured because of a centuries-old system that was designed to maintain your comfort and power?

if you really cared about people slandering your religion, maybe start with the people within it who are using it as a tool to dehumanise. maybe fix that first. maybe stop crying “hinduphobia” every time someone points out the rot.

The maati(soil) of Awadh

Awadh exists in the same region as the ancient Kaushal kingdom with Ayodhya as its capital. Which was for some time moved to Shrawasti and later moved to Lucknow. People in Awadh region speak Awadhi.

The word "Awadh" comes from Ayodhya (must have heard the song "holi khele raghubeera awadh me, holi khele raghubeera")

The Awadhi language belongs to the prakrit family of Indic languages. It differs widely from the other languages spoken in Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring Bihar.

For more context, Bhojpuri belongs to the language family in which you'd also find Bengali, Odia, Assamese and Magahi, Maithili and others.

Also, want to make it clear that Awadhi is not a dialect of Hindi. It is a language of its own.

It has a wide variety of artforms that still exist to this day like bhakti geet, bhajans, plays and storytelling, various forms of dance forms, various forms of lok geet and lok sangeet.

These are the real monsters. We don't need stories to scare kids anymore, give them nightmares. Because living side by side these monsters is enough of a nightmare.

While India bombed terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and damaged their airbases these Pakistani men are discussing on X (twitter) spaces how they will accept Indian women after they convert to Islam. These low lives can only think about sęx sląvery.

Please keep adding to this list if you can think of any.

Like I just thought of one now.

Mata Saraswati would really feel bad when someone gets made fun of their voice or of their speech impairments.

I have been thinking about this and realised that we don't actually have a deva or devi for beauty. People think it is Mata Lakshmi but it's not true. None of her Ashtalakshmi forms also have her represent beauty. Mata

The sibling pairs have different skin colours — Vishnu-Parvati are dark skinned, Shiv-Saraswati are fair skinned, Brahma-Lakshmi are golden skinned — and all of them are called beautiful.

So where does this concept of beauty even come from? That fair is beautiful and dark skinned is not? Does it come from the west? From goddesses like Aphrodite, Venus or Freya? Or were they also made to represent beauty in the modern world to suit white people's beauty standards?

So I decided to go out today. I usually plan it all out but today was spontaneous.

Luckily Jehangir Art Gallery was a part of it. And I'm glad I went there. The paintings and the art on display were majorly Hinduism related. Hindu gods, stories like Shakuntala, and Shiv ji's wedding to Mata Parvati, birth of Ganesh ji.

Ofcourse, photography isn't allowed, so I don't have pictures. Plus I don't click pictures of art either way because a phone cannot capture the true beauty of those amazing amazing art

But I did get a pamphlet/catalogue thingy for one of the displays -

Guys please you don't understand that they're innocent people 14 crore as a compensation is so necessary for all the 14 family members he lost what would he do now. Those 14 were his future terrorists now he will need to find new ones and train them and that needs money. 14 crore is so less. Have you looked at the Pakistani economy. I think he'd need more. Let's be supportive guys.

The Pakistan government reportedly promised to pay rupees 14 crore($1.7 million) compensation to terrorist Masood Azhar, the chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organisation, due to 14 of Azhar's family members perishing in the Indian airstrikes of terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.
