This Is So Lovely Fam!!! Thank You For Sharing 🥰🥰🥰

radhe radhe! i think memes is a great idea!! defo for me having memes was an amazing way to connect, it made dharma feel lighter and less seriousss yk. also its just funny 😂 and for me i really connect to things through humour.

i think comics are a great idea too, I grew up reading amar chitra katha, watching cartoons like krishna,, I think they're a nice way to engage children or form a part of ppls childhoods.

personally I think sm of these things comes from one's own inner callings or interests. but what defo helped me connect the strongest was having a community like gopiblr where we could explore dharma or krishna together in a way that's super relatable for young people, and a safe space to explore hot takes outside what the elders teach us haha. I think applying tiktoks reels etc. to kanhu (like I and others have done 😅) is again a way to make young ppl see kanhu in a diff light to just someone their elders make a fuss about. other ones are fanfics and modern AUs, which defo makes things a lot more interactive haha.

omg what a coincidence this post encompasses a lot of diff things I wanted to talk abt anyway, but I also found this the other day!!!:

as someone who's loved anime (really just naruto tbh 😅) I just thought it was a really super cool way to present durga devi's story ahaha, and another medium that might reach young people. devi mata is so badass pls watch!!! (also in a similar fashion there's that post going around abt making a Disney movie abt durge! which they have to be really careful to do well, but if they do could be epic af.)

I think one thing very important is to not get too preachy. this is why I think the best ways involve communities, because they make space for exploration and for people of all opinions or relationships with the object/s of interest (in this case with the divine), and also a feeling that you're not 'alone' or 'weird' in your interests. it's a space to connect with similar people going through similar things as you, and you may even see your thoughts being voiced aloud by others which reallyyy makes u feel less alone.

tldr; it is finding ways in which people of the modern day connect to things, and try to replicate the same dharmically, and creating a community surrounding it where these things can be shared and consumed.

e.g. music: u can experiment with genres and apply this to bhajans as well e.g. bhajan lofis which are so good omg.

so yeah, this is my humble opinion. radhe radhe!! 💙✨️🦚

Gopis and gopas, a question Krishna made me think about -

If he says that it's our duty to spread the knowledge and gyana of our dharma to today's generation and present to them in a way that they find cool and interesting, how would you approach it ?

You can think of ways that you think we can do it and let me know :D

Some ways I thought of :

1. Creating cute comics of stories and scenarios of the stotras and present to them as a story, for example taking a bhagavat Gita line and turning it to a story in a way they understand

2. Creating a trend that knowing these stuff is the real cool thing instead of so much of other materialistic stuff

me: kanhuji im surrendering everything to you and trusting you please lead me on the right path 💙🙏

kanhu: *tells me what to do*

me: *proceeds to do the exact opposite thing*

me: .....

kanhuji mujhe bachale yaar? 🥺👉👈

PROCESSING YOUR EMOTIONS WITHOUT SUPPRESSING THEM - TECHNIQUES

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!

REMINDERS

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.

TECHNIQUES

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.
