sometimes i talk to the gitagpt chatbot at 3am and dream
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 ๐ 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 ๐ ) 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 ๐ ) 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!! ๐โจ๏ธ๐ฆ
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
Maa Durga is worshipped as Shailputri, Daughter of King of mountains ie Himvan on first day of Navratri . Just the way a baby spreads joy when it comes to home, mata Shailputri arives in our home and spread the joy . Orange is color of joy but also Of confidence, Power of fire and rebirth . Here on first day Orange as shade of power is the color of the day .
kanha just told me a modern form of leela would be PLAYING MARIO KART TOGETHERRRRR
dadi (and me): *does bhakti by doing stotrams and shuddhi*
also me: *hyping up radhe and kanhu in my head* HAYE JHUMKA HAYE JHUMKA HAYE JHUMKA JHUMKA -- WHAT JHUMKA ?
still don't understand how i can properly respect kanha as literal origin of everything ever but still say wassup bro to him in my head
this is so random but like its so funny to me that the krishna actor from radha krishn said "fr" on his ig story like ik he's only a few years older than me but idk
guys fyi krishnas also present in snoop dogg k thx bye
Shailputri: HAHAA! Joke's on HIM - I'm too deep in the cave of the mountains he will freeze to death if he even enters lol
Brahmacharini: *too busy meditating*
Chandraghanta: cute. but the sound of my dear lil bell is enough to slayyyy him :p
Kushmanda: kill him with kindness :)
Skandamata: but wait, does he have a child? If he's a monster then who takes care of the POOR KID??? CAN I ADOPT-
Katyayani: *opens eyes slowly* *demon instantly gets blasted with her third eye* ummm.. where is he tho?
Kaalratri: SO HE HAS CHOSEN DEATHHH I SHALL EAT HIM UP ARRAH *leaps up and lets out the deadliest war cry*
Mahagauri: I'm literally having a bubble bath rn. If he disturbs me then he won't be able to see the light of day ever again <3
Siddhidatri: *laughs* baby, everything in this universe is just a manifestation of my energy. I just need to take it back thus sucking the lifeforce outta him hehehe
