I just love the way everyone whispers their prayers or wishes into Nandi’s ears at Lord Shiva’s temple.
It feels like a shortcut to having your wishes fulfilled. If Nandi can't convince Lord Shiva for you, then who can?
Red Crowned Flight Switching it up from the more complicated paintings with something simple and relaxing. It's nice to let my mind go blank and let the thoughts flow like water~
Draupadi as a Feminist
Draupadi is not just a character in an epic. She is the embodiment of resistance in a world built to silence women. She speaks where others remain silent. She questions when others bow down.
Her marriage to five men was not an act of submission. It was a reflection of her will. In choosing her path, she challenged the belief that a woman's role is only to obey.
In the court where her dignity was gambled away, she did not beg for mercy. She demanded justice. She did not cry. She confronted. She did not collapse. She stood.
Draupadi challenged the very foundation of patriarchy. She asked what no one dared to ask. She forced power to look at itself. Her voice was not an echo. It was an eruption.
She did not wait to be saved. She saved herself with courage sharper than any weapon. Her strength was not divine. It was human. It was hers.
Draupadi is feminism before it was named. She is the fire that refuses to go out. She is every woman who questions, who resists, who rises.

Krishna and the Living Entity Sit on the Tree of the Body It is stated in the Upanishads that the living entity and the Supersoul are like two friendly birds sitting on the same tree. One of the birds (the living entity) is enjoying or suffering the fruits of the tree and the other bird (Krishna) is simply witnessing. #gita #bhagavadgita #gitaiskcon #krishna #devotion #bhakti #iskcon #vaishnav

The Sacred Tulasi Leaves: The Resurrection of Holistic Wellness
Tulasi, or Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), holds a sacred position in traditional Indian culture and Ayurveda. Spiritual as well as medicinal, Tulasi is far beyond an ordinary herb—it has been known as the "Queen of Herbs" due to her wonderful healing powers.
Historical and Spiritual Significance:
In Hinduism, Tulasi is said to be an earthy form of Lakshmi, symbolizing purity and dedication. Most Indian houses ritually worship Tulasi every day because they believe the plant drives evil away and brings good energy into the house. It is basically planted inside the courtyard of houses and features in many religious rites and ceremonies; therefore, it is a sacred substance.
Medicinal Properties :Apart from its religious importance, Tulasi is an important herb in Ayurveda. In addition to their creamy antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and adaptogenic properties, the leaves of Tulasi are said to prevent and treat illness, cure respiratory diseases, and enhance mental clarity. Drinking Tulasi tea has been an old remedy to reduce stress levels, soothe the throat, and strengthen the respiratory system. Tulasi oil, on the other hand, is utilized in aromatherapy for anxiety and improving mood levels.
Environmental Benefits:
Tulasi is a natural air purifier. The purpose of this plant to absorb hazardous pollutants and release oxygen makes it a great addition to urban homes and gardens. Resilience of the plant in various climates makes it simple to cultivate either indoors or outdoors.
Conclusion:
While the Tulasi leaves are used for spiritual benefits, Tulasi has all that is included in the list of health and environmental benefits. Add a dash of Tulasi to your daily life and indulge in its holistic gains—both for the care of a healthy body and a feeling of spiritual balance.
