Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai - The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala,  Verse 1
🕉️ 
 acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.
Padacchēdam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.
English translation:
Though actually one who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Aruṇācalam is exalted.
Explanatory paraphrase:
Though [Lord Siva is] actually acalaṉ [one who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Cidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]. Know that when that śakti [the divine mother] subsides back in the motionless form [the fundamental form of Lord Siva], Aruṇācalam is exalted [that is, in the motionless form of Aruṇācalam, which rises high above all his other forms, Lord Siva shines exalted in his natural state].
Note : 
The word Achalan means the motionless one and is a name of Lord Siva which is used to denote the fact that He is the immutable, Supreme Reality. The word Achalai means the consort of Achalan and is a name of Sakti, the Divine Mother.
Though He is motionless by nature, in Chidambaram Lord Siva had to dance in front of Sakti in order to bring Her frenzied dance to an end. But in the form of Arunachala Lord Siva remains ever motionless, and thus by the power of His mere stillness Sakti was irresistably attracted to Him and with great love she subsided in Him and became one with Him. Hence of all the forms of Lord Siva, Arunachala shines as the most exalted.
The words ‘ongum Arunachalam’ means ‘rises high’ or rises above others, and hence the words ‘ongum Arunachalam endru ari’ (know that He shines exalted as Arunachala) may also be taken to mean, know that Arunachala is superior (to Chidambaram)!

There is the true caste in the Brahminical sense of the term, the Brahman, Rajput, Banya and so forth; the tribe or race based upon common blood, such as the Pathan, Biloch, Kathia; there is the colony of foreigners like the Purbi [Easterner] and Kashmiri, or of believers in a strange creed like the Bishnoi; there is the true occupational caste such as the [barber], the [leather-worker], and the [scavenger]; there is the common trades-guild …; there is the occupation pure and simple …; there is the ascetic order as the Gosain and Nirmala; and besides these there are all possible intermediate stages.
In short: lots of different ways "caste" manifests

What subspecies would the night pride be in your headcanon?
If I threw out any notion of blood relations and just went with the pure vibes of what I think would be the most fun design-wise I think I'd go with:
Surak - Piet with a Frilled Lizard inspiration and partner. C'mon, with that kind of mane?
Baliyo - Tsavo is the obvious choice but hey, it's obvious because it fits. If I wanted to keep a darker palette I'd say his family came from one of the Night Tsavo clans that maintained the tunnels in the desert.
Nirmala - Something about Nirmala strikes me as someone who comes from a blend of cultures so I'd say that she'd be mixed. Marozi with something - probably Grie based on statistics as they're the most common kind of lion. I could see her going to the Tree to reconnect with her roots and just never leaving.
Rani and Janna - the only two that I would absolutely HC as being as close to pure-blooded Marozi as you'd get in the modern timeline. Marozi lions are the most likely to have magic abilities so it would make sense that the family who are in 'control' of a magical tree of healing would be descended from the group of lions most in touch with magic.

Shuriri x Fem reader
Tumblr media
Prologue
For 18 years, my mother Varya who’s a jaguar, weird right but she found me as a baby and took me in raising me along with her cubs, Nirmala, and Rani. Ever since I’ve been happy hunting, learning to swim, and being with my family until that one faithful day…
Smol Facts
Rani means Queen, Nirmala means Pure, and Y/N means protector in the animal kingdom
Prologue: Mom!!
                                                    Y/N’s POV
It was a normal day in the jungle, the birds were squawking about poachers as the sun kissed my face. “Kids we need to get back to the cave.” She spoke with urgency laced in her voice.
“Aww mom we just got here.” Nirmala complained but Rani wasn’t having this “Come on there’s poachers on the loose, we need to bounce.” Rani said, her tail flickered in annoyance
“Fine, I’m coming.” Nirmala reluctantly trailed behind us. Suddenly we heard gunshots as the smell of gunpowder wafted through the air.
“Kumbe, Kimbia!!” (Swahili Translation: Fuck. Run!”) Our mother commanded. We ran and ran until we got to our cave, panting from the adrenaline. “Stay here, I’ll take care of them.”
“But what about you mom?” I asked, is she insane. Those poachers could kill her.
 “I promise I’ll be back.” If only we knew those words would be her last. The sound of her growling and gunshots lasted a few minutes before it got really quiet. “Let’s take her.” I heard an unfamiliar voice say
No no no no no noooooooo! They got her, I knew I should’ve made her stay. Rani and Nirmala started sobbing at the revelation that our mom is gone. As the oldest I have to take care of them. From now on, I’ll protect this jungle.
A year has passed since I had become the protector, I’ve been helping animals with their problems, rescuing them from poachers and other disasters. It’s been tiring honestly, they keep coming like a boomerang. I was on my daily patrol when a strong scent caught my attention. It most certainly belonged to a human. ‘What could they be doing here?’
I followed the smell to see a young girl around my age sitting by the water. I unbeknownst to her sneaked up on her but somehow, she knew I was there as she turned around and looked in my general direction.
Shuri’s POV
My instincts told me someone was creeping up on me. “Show yourself.” I demanded, wanting to know who would dare to sneak up on me. They came out as I laid eyes upon the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, next to Riri of course.
She wore shredded clothes that showed some of her muscles, the thought of that alone nearly made my nose bleed.
“Why are you here?” I questioned
“I live here. Why are you here?”
“Why are you living out here?”
“Because I live with my siblings.”
“They are more humans out here?”
“Oh, hell no, they’re jaguars since my mom, Varya took me in and raised me along her cubs, Rani and Nirmala.” I processed these words until it dawned on me, she should come to Wakanda. “You should come with me to Wakanda.”
“First off: Waka-wha? And second: I can’t.”
“It’s Wakanda and why not?”
“I can’t just leave them, they need me.” I cannot believe I was actually considered bringing jaguars with me. I wonder how Riri, and Okoye react to this. “We can bring them too.”
“Alright, I’ll go.” I felt butterflies in my stomach, similar to what Riri gives me “Just let me get them
10 minutes later
She came back with two jaguars, wait what about her mother. “Where’s your mother?” Her eyes seemed to well up with tears at the mention of her mother. “She got killed by poachers a year ago, ever since I’ve stepped up as guardian of this jungle and all it’s creatures.” Wow so that’s why she insisted on having these two with her  
 “I never got you name by the way.” I said as we went through the borders of Wakanda “I’m Y/N and you?”
“I’m Shuri.” It was late but still a lot of people were about, and they were not impressed about the jaguar’s trailing behind the mysterious girl. When we arrived at the Palace, Riri ran and kissed me. “Who’s the new girl.”
“Riri this is Y/N, Y/N this is Riri.” Riri gave her a casual wave while she hummed in acknowledgement. “Why is she with those jaguars?”
“Apparently, their biological mother adopted her as their own and raised her so then I found her and invited them to stay at the palace.” Riri shook her head as she chuckled “Alright let’s go.” She said guiding me inside.
Y/N’s POV
I followed Shuri and Riri into a strange looking den full of bald-headed women. Shuri took me to my ‘guest room’ where I’ll sleep for now. “This thing is really soft.” Nirmala commented as she got comfortable on said thing. “I think we’re supposed to sleep on it.”
I change into the clothes they gave me.

it is here
by Nirmala
it is here
in the breath
it is here
in the stillness between breaths
it is here
in the active mind
it is here
in the resting mind
it is here
in the dream's panorama
it is here
in each moment of awakening
it is here
when all is well
it is here
when fear has nothing left to fear
even then
there is pure noticing
even then
there is no need for doing
no frantic searching
can find the obvious
no seeking needed
to find that which seeks
it is here
where it can never be lost
or found.

let Adani be punished if they have done wrong
Sharad Pawar top Opposition leader of UPA👇🏻
 “     “Out of proportion importance was given to the issue. The issues that were kept, who kept them? We had never heard of these people (Hindenburg) who gave the statement. What is the BACKGROUND?    When they raise issues that cause a ruckus across the country, the COST is borne by the country's economy. We cannot disregard these things. It seems this was targeted," Pawar said during the interview, which was aired on Friday.
On Saturday during the press conference, Pawar said there was a time when Tata-Birla's names were taken to CRITICISE the government but they had their due contributions to the development of the country. "At present, Ambani and Adanis names are taken to criticise the government. But there is a need to think about their CONTRIBUTION to the country as well," Pawar said. “
👇🏻
"It was the (then) Congress government (in Kerala), which gave on a platter Vizhinjam Port to Adani. It was not given on the basis of any tender.  this is not this (Congress) government, but the CPM government. But, what stopped him from asking and demanding that Kerala cancel that order?"
Further, Adani secured vast tracts of land for building the Mundra Port.    Gautam Adani received the land for Mundra Port in 4 parts, starting with the Chimanbhai Patel-led Congress government in Gujarat in March 1993. The Congress government had then granted Adani the land at a THROWAWAY price of just 10 paise per square meter.
MANY INDIAN Business men had started moving  their money OUTSIDE India, TO EVADE INCOME TAX - because of the laws made by UPA’s Finance Minister. The FM himself has been charged as using shell companies to legalise black money.
The 20,000 crores invested in Adani companies might have been the money moved out of India by Indian businessmen in the past.   If all the investors who want to Invest in ANY Indian company- have shifted their money to Mauritius ?   
How can Adani alone get pure white money for Investment? 
The WHOLE MONEY MARKET in India uses Mauritius route for investment. 
Previous government used shahid Balwa - with Dawood links as a friend/ investor for 2G project.
Purchase of Shares / investments in Public Limited Companies are done by companies owned by Indians in Mauritius.  Such foreign investments are done for many companies, not only Adani.
Adani companies net worth is about 100 Billion US$. 
Rs.20,000 crores invested by companies in Adani group recently, is a minuscule fraction of 100 billion worth of Adani company
Ashok Gehlot, Congress Chief Minister-  Self professed “Bhai” of Adani👇🏻
When in power, politicians have responsibility to invite big businessmen and help create more jobs / tax - for the state
young educated people of India need quality jobs, infrastructure for industry     not     unemployment  allowance of few thousand rupees.👇🏻

June 12th: Pride Art Challenge
Tumblr media
Next up is another "undertale" oc I named Nirmala. She is a part of a few Oc's that I made out of pure boredom one day during the infamous Sans fangirl apocalypse.
She plays video games, and I gave her and her siblings a little ability, hers is the extra ectoplasm hands she can make.
At max, she can make 10, but prefer to stick to 2.

Anandamayi Ma as the young Nirmala Sundari Devi
Tumblr media
A DIVINE CHILD
On 30th April, 1896, a beautiful girl-child was born at Kheora village, in the Tripura district of East Bengal (now Bangladesh). Her family traced its descent from Rishi Kashyapa, who was a devout worshipper of Lord Vishnu. Her mother, Mokshada Sundari Devi, the embodiment of simple and pure virtues, would play an important role in the child’s later manifestation as Ma. She was affectionately addressed as Didima. Before the birth of this child, she had many visions of gods, goddesses, and the divine light that entered into her. The child’s father, Bipin Bihari Bhattacharya, was a very religious and otherworldly man, who spent his days singing the praises of God in a sweet, soul-stirring voice. Sometimes, he would stay absent for months at a time, wandering as a penniless mendicant, singing bhajans and practicing spiritual discipline. The child was named Nirmala Sundari Devi, which means ‘goddess of flawless beauty’. In later years, Ma always stressed that she has always been the same. “As I was at birth, and as a child, so am I now.” Didima said that at birth she never uttered a cry, but was very peaceful, radiant and possessed full consciousness. She later amazed people by recalling the names of those who were present at her birth, and of events that occurred in her early years. The first sign that her mother had of her supernatural identity came when the child was just a few months old. One day, as Nirmala lay in her crib and Didima was going about her household chores, she noticed that a sadhu with a radiant face and long, matted locks was standing before the crib with folded hands. He addressed the mother and said, “This is no ordinary child, and she will not be confined within an ordinary life. This is none other than the ‘Mother’ of the whole world!” After giving his blessing he walked out of the door and when Didima looked out after him, he was nowhere to be seen. The small child grew into a sweet-natured and friendly little girl. The second dominant trait in her life was also noticed during childhood. She never had a desire of her own or moved to fulfill any personal wish. If left to herself, she reposed blissfully contented in her own self. What motivated all her actions and movements during childhood and throughout her life, were the desires and needs of others. It was seen that the young Nirmala was always at hand to serve and help others. Transcending all social and caste barriers, she was loved by everyone in the village. The child’s favourite playmate was her grandmother, known affectionately as Thakurma. This elderly lady would occasionally be surprised when the little girl would, with scholarly precision, correct the Sanskrit in a sloka that she was reciting. On one occasion, little Nirmala showed Thakurma the correct and intricate mudras to be perform during puja. Another time, while the two were playing together, Thakurma, after an intense and penetrating look from young Nirmala, went into a deep, inner state of samadhi. At the age of four, Nirmala was taken to a kirtan in the village. During the chanting of the holy names, she became so engrossed in a deep inner bhav, that tears started streaming from her eyes.

2021-07-26a Kensington Gardens: Michael James discusses 
Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai - The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala,  Verse 1
🕉️
This video begins with Sadhu Om singing verse 1 of ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல நவமணிமாலை (Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai), ‘The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala’, and then Michael James explains and discusses the meaning and implications of it:
அசலனே யாயினு மச்சவை தன்னி லசலையா மம்மையெதி ராடு — மசல வுருவிலச் சத்தி யொடுங்கிட வோங்கு மருணா சலமென் றறி.
acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.
பதச்சேதம்: அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும். அசல உருவில் அச் சத்தி ஒடுங்கிட, ஓங்கும் அருணாசலம் என்று அறி.
Padacchēdam (word-separation): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.
அன்வயம்: அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும். அசல உருவில் அச் சத்தி ஒடுங்கிட, அருணாசலம் ஓங்கும் என்று அறி.
Anvayam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, aruṇācalam ōṅgum eṉḏṟu aṟi.
English translation: 
Though actually one who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Aruṇācalam is exalted.
Explanatory paraphrase: 
Though [Lord Siva is] actually acalaṉ [one who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Cidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]. Know that when that śakti [the divine mother] subsides back in the motionless form [the fundamental form of Lord Siva], Aruṇācalam is exalted [that is, in the motionless form of Aruṇācalam, which rises high above all his other forms, Lord Siva shines exalted in his natural state].

If the characters in tlk/tlk2/tlg were in i hope so, what do you think their names would be? (the lion characters only, to make it more simple)
Most of them would just be the English translation of their names. Kion and Rani I'm not sure because their names mean Leader and Queen respectively. As for the others, some of them had multiple meanings, some I picked more flattering words. Surak is a bit weird. Shabaha actually means "target" but I couldn't find what kind of target they meant, like do they mean the noun or the verb, I dunno, so I just went with the idea that she "targets" her enemies. So while some names technically mean other things, I just went with the closest that would make sense in this context. I guess Vitani's would still be "War" since Zira is one of Those Moms. Baliyo - Strong Nirmala - Pure Surak - Clue Tiifu - Loyal Zuri - Beautiful Shabaha - Ambitious Kasi - Quick Imara - Powerful Tazama - Observant
