Facts about Subhadra

Subhadra is one of my favorite characters of the Mahabharata. I have a somewhat different perception of her personality than most ppl do, but that is kind of fine. So, I am here to share some facts about our Yadava princess :D

According to Bhagavat Purana, Subhadra has 45 LIVING elder brothers. Vasudev apparently had more sons apart from Balarama and Krishna.

She is also said to have a full blooded elder sister, named Tara.

Subhadra is 19 years younger than Krishna is, according to Bhagvata Puran

So she is probably 20-21 years younger than Balarama, and 18 and a half year younger than Arjun

The Northern and Southern recension of the Mahabharata have somewhat different versions of her love story with Arjun. The northern version shows him abducting her, and in the southern one, their love story is very much elaborated.

However, in both, her consent is there, in the Northern one, she doesn't say anything while abducted, but is actually smiling when she returns, so she is most likely happy

And we all know, she and Draupadi had a lovely relationship together #sisgoals

Subhadra is directly related to Nakul's wife, Karenumati, as Karenumati's grandmother and Subhadra's father are siblings.

Speaking of grandmothers, Subhadra's grandma is Marisha, a descendant of Vasuki, through whom Subhadra's descendants have Naga blood.

Subhadra's marriage paves the way for the full blown Yadava-Pandava friendship imagine the Yadavas and their 50,000 relatives spending summer in Indraprastha

Since Subhadra is so young compared to her brothers, her sisters-in-law must have been very present in her childhood. why am I imagining baby Bhadra sitting in Balarama's lap during his wedding

Subhadra is mostly known for sleeping during the chakravyuha thing, but it is mostly folklore i.e. not present in any authentic versions (Correct me if I am wrong)

She is very heavily worshipped in Jagannnath Puri , and is perhaps the most widely worshipped female character from Mahabharata (Draupadi is worshipped in some parts of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, Hidimbi is worshipped in parts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttara is worshipped in some parts of Rajasthan).

In authentic versions, she has only one kid, Abhimanyu, though certain folk tales show multiple children of hers.

Subhadra's mourning is very much highlighted in the aftermath of Abhimanyu's death (Which is a normal thing, Vyasa loves to delve into the mother/wife's pain after someone's death).

After the war, Yudhishthira handed over the kingdom to Yuyutsu, but also requested Subhadra to "take care" of Parikshit and Vajra oh god, she is probably the only one from the elder gen left apart from Yuyustu at that point

A folktale suggests that Arjun drowned Subhadra before leaving for the Himalayas, and I am sorry to say that I hate it a lot. Why you making my man commit uxoricide?

She most probably retired to the forest after sometime, and passed there only.

Aunty-ji

During my time in Vejalpur, a small little corner of Ahmedabad, i cycled through three neighbors. One of them was a middle-aged couple — the man was working with Asian Paints at the time, and the woman was a home-maker. A very typical northern-hinterland family hailing from Madhya Pradesh. For the length of my stay there, I called him "Sir", he called me "Shekhar ji". And "aunty ji" was met with "bhaiyaji" even though i could have very well been the age of her first-born.

Sometime during their stay, their daughter came visiting. She was pregnant, although there was almost no clue that she was, given her thin frame. One day, I got a call from "aunty ji" and she said there was a book in their house that she wanted me to remove. I think it was one of those uttara-ramayan copies that people believe should not be kept in the house when something auspicious happens. I dont know if I asked her why or if she proffered the information voluntarily but that was when she informed me that her daughter had given birth to a baby boy.

A month or two passed. One day, both the mother and the daughter were busy doing chores around the house and they had laid down the baby in the second room of the 2-room apartment which doubled as the kitchen. As is wont to happen with babies, he started to cry seeking some human attention. The kitchen of both our apartments (both 2-room apartments) opened up to a common balcony that also led to the common bathrooms so as I stepped out of my kitchen, I could see and hear the baby cry. I asked if I could entertain him for a while and they were happy to let me so I got in and sat near the baby, playing with him for a while. That was my first proper interaction with the baby in all those months.

Some days, auntyji and I would sit on the verandah and talk. With the baby-and-mother in tow, these chats disappeared because I didnt want to impinge on mother-daughter time. Yet, there was this one rare occasion when I was also part of the verandah chai-pe-charcha and somehow ended up with the baby on my lap for a long time. I would like to think he was happy to lie there for all that time because he didn't cry, and he was rather chirpy on that bright new morning. Eventually, as it happens with babies, he ended up peeing on me. Aunty-ji was apologetic for no reason and I had to pull out one of those old irrational beliefs of my people that "a baby relieving itself on you is a sign of bonding" to ease her mind.

Months before all this, there was this one late night when aunty-ji frantically called me. I found her husband sweaty, somewhat out of breath and complaining of a left-arm pain, queasiness and discomfort writ large on his face. He had a bike, fortunately (because I had only a bicycle), so I drove him to the nearest clinic late in the night. The doctor took a cardiogram and told me that the man had almost had a heart-attack and would need to be under observation and possibly shifted to a bigger hospital in the morning. During that week of hospitalization, I would chauffeur aunty-ji to and fro the hospital along with delivering home-cooked food to the recuperating man. Somehow, in the midst of all that solitude, it felt like I was a useful part of a family for the first time in my life.

The story of the world’s 1st poet- Rishi Valmiki

The finest Indian poets, saints, and sages have been witnessed throughout history. Maharishi Valmiki is one of the identities that did stand out the most. Rishi Valmiki is known as Adi Kavi in Sanskrit literature. This means he was the first poet. He was the first person to write the epic Ramayana, which is one of the most well-known Hindu texts.

What is the story of the poet- Rishi Valmiki? Get an online astrology consultation by the world-renowned Astrologer Mr. Alok Khandelwal.

One of the greatest philosophers ever, Rishi Valmiki was a wonderful sage of wisdom, poetry, kindness, and mercy.

Valmiki’s birth

People who have something to do with Maharishi’s life disagree about something. According to one interpretation of Nagara Khanda from the Skanda Purana, he was born into a Brahmin family and given the name Lohajangha. He had a wife who loved him. To keep his family from going hungry during the twelve years of drought in their hamlet, he began robbing people.

Lohajangha once attempted to rob Saptarishi, a group of seven sages. However, Pulatsya Rishi, a Saptarishi, gives Lohajangha a mantra. Valmiki acquired his name from the ant hill or Valmika that covered his body after years of severe austerity and mantra recitation.

Rishi Valmiki was born in Sumali or Pracheta to a Rishi Bhrigu gotra Brahmin household named Agni Sharma. Ratnakar Daku was his name when he started stealing from people after a while. When he met Narada muni, they talked about his responsibilities. Agni Sharma started doing austerity and reciting a mantra called “Mara,” which means “death,” because he was so interested in what Narada thought and said.

After doing penance for many years, this Mara changed into Rama, but his body is still covered by an anthill. Because of this, he got a new name: Valmiki.

Works of philosophy

Valmiki rishi’s Adi Kavya (First Poem) Ramayana was one of the best things he ever did. The Ramayana is the first poem ever written in Sanskrit. Valmiki’s epic Ramayana is made up of 24000 shlokas and 7 cantos. It tells about everything that happened in Lord Rama’s life, from his birth to his 14 years of living in the forest. Ravana kidnapped Sita, and then there was a war between Rama’s army of monkeys and Ravan’s army. When the war was over, Lord Rama left this world.

Some Indian philosophers also thought that Yoga Vashista was written by Rishi Valmiki. Yoga Vashista is a conceptual story about what the sage Vashista and Lord Rama talked about. There are six books by Yoga Vasistha. Each one talks about different events and parts of life, such as Rama’s disappointment in nature and the suffering of people, Rama’s urge for salvation, other people who also want to be free, spiritual ways to be free, and the importance of people’s willpower and creativity.

His Role in Ramayana

Sage Valmiki was a very important part of the Ramayana, according to Uttara Kanda, which was taken from Sesha Ramayana. Rishi Valmiki let Devi Sita stay in his ashram after she was sent away. At the rishi’s ashram, where Devi Sita gave birth, Lava and Kusha were taught the Ramayana by their guru Valmiki.

Cultural Impacts

Maharishi’s philosophical art affected the arts and cultures of many places in the Indian subcontinent and some sections of the southeast. It inspired writers and poets from different cultures to rewrite Valmiki’s Ramayana in their language. It includes Ramacharitamanas, Krittivasi Ramayan, Molla Ramayanam, Torave Ramayana, and Kambaramayanam in Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, and Bengali, respectively (Awadhi).

On the walls of shrines and stones, different scenes from the Ramayan were carved. The stone in Nagarjunkonda, Andhra Pradesh, which depicts the encounter between Lord Rama and Bharata, would make the ideal illustration. Valmiki’s influence on the Ramayana can be seen in movies, TV shows, music videos, theatres, paintings, books, and temples today. Today, Hindus all over the world watch Ramlila, a dramatic version of the Ramayana, which is performed in India.

Rishi Valmiki has a temple in Tiruvanmiyur, Chennai, that has been there for 1300 years.

Maharishi Valmiki’s lessons

Maharishi taught us to follow Dharma and Karma through Ramayana:

Always tell the truth.

The truth will prevail despite how strong evil may be.

Unity makes people stronger.

Similar to Rama’s family, despite the circumstances separating them, their hearts remained united, which enabled them to overcome obstacles.

Honor your obligations with loyalty.

Follow the right path.

Respect and be kind to other people.

See and treat all animals the same.

Never hang out with or get close to a bad person.

Peace and harmony come from being able to forgive.

Not everything that shines is gold.

Ganga Puja This is literally the “birthday or descent of mother Ganges – Ganga Ma”. Throughout india this festival lasts ten days beginning on the Amavasya (dark moon night) and going through to the dasami tithi (tenth phase of the Moon, the day before Pandava Nirjal Ekadasi) “Festivals connected with rivers are essentially bathing festivals. Ganga Dussehra is celebrated on the tenth day of Jyeshtha. River Ganga is worshipped as a mother as well as a Goddess, particularly by people of Uttara Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal through which the river flows. The Descent of the River Ganges Shrimad Bhagavatam 5th Canto 17the Chapter Summary by HDG Shrila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad. The Seventeenth Chapter describes the origin of the Ganges River and how it flows in and around Ilavrita-varsha. There is also a description of the prayers Lord Siva offers to Lord Sankarshana, part of the quadruple expansions of the Supreme personality of Godhead. Lord Vishnu once approached Bali Maharaja while the King was performing a sacrifice. The Lord appeared before him as Trivikrama, or Vamana, and begged alms from the King in the form of three steps of land. With two steps, Lord Vamana covered all three planetary systems and pierced the covering of the universe with the toes of His left foot. A few drops of water from the Causal Ocean leaked through this hole and fell on the head of Lord Siva, where they remained for one thousand millenniums. These drops of water are the sacred Ganges River. It first flows onto the heavenly planets, which are located on the soles of Lord Vishnu’s feet. The Ganges River is known by many names, such as the Bhagirathi and the Jahnavi. It purifies Dhruvaloka and the planets of the seven sages because both Dhruva and the sages have no other desire than to serve the Lord’s lotus feet. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceou8fQLgcY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Women in the Indian Epics - 2

This is an addition to my earlier post, cause I am only human and I can fit only so much of awesome ladies in one post.

RAMAYANA :

1. Ahilyaa : Daughter of the Creator god Brahma, Ahilya literally means “the perfect woman”. She was married to the sage Gautam, and was the foster mother of the Monkey Emperor Vali and his brother Sugreeva. One day, Indra (indian zeus) took on the form of Gautam and approached Ahilya because he lusted after her. Now, some people say Ahilya knew it was Indra and readily had sex with him (which is used by conservatives to call women sluts and by feminists for sexual liberation of women), while some say Indra revealed his true form after Ahilya accepted him into her home and then raped her (this version is more common). When Gautam got to know of this, he cursed Indra to be infected with a hundred festering sores, and cursed Ahilya to turn into stone. Afterwards, he modified the curse, stating that these sores would become Indra’s eyes when he truly repented, while Ahilya would turn back into a woman after Ram touches her (Ram accidentally stepped over Ahilya in the forest, turning her into a woman). A feminist icon, Ahilya is etched forever into history.

2. Taraka : Ravan’s maternal grandmother, Taraka was the daughter of the Yaksha king Suketu (yakshas are the hindu equivalent of dwarfs, but crossed with elves). Her husband Sumali was killed by the sages when he tried to reclaim the forest they had occupied. To avenge him, Taraka went there with her elder son Subahu and her army, but the sages instead cursed her to go insane and lose her divinity, turning her into a monster. She and her elder son were later killed by Ram on Vishwamitra’s orders in the Dandaka forest.

3. Gaargi : A female scholar, she was a fearless woman. She openly voiced her opinions, criticized men for their misogyny, and even challenged regressive traditions and rituals. Her rivals often used to taunt her by saying she might lose her head if she talked that much, to which she replied “Yes. I would rather lose a head and grow ten more, one head alone won’t suffice me.” She was responsible for Sita’s education.

4. Shabari : A tribal woman, Ram and Lakshman had rested at her house in their search for Sita. She proposed to feed them berries, but tasted all of them beforehand, so that she could only serve the sweet ones. This angered Lakshman, but Ram ate them with pleasure. She has become a symbol of motherly devotion today. However, there is no mention of her in the Sanskrit Valmiki Ramayana.

5. Swarnapuchha : Literally meaning “the golden tailed one”, she was the Queen of Mermaids and protector of Lanka’s waters. She was convinced by Hanuman to oppose Ravan and join Ram. She’s mentioned in the Thai Ramayana.

MAHABHARATA :

1. Shakuntala : Daughter of Vishwamitra and the apsara Menaka, Shakuntala was abandoned as a baby and raised by the sage Kanva. Her name means “she found below doves”. The King of Hastinapur, Dushyant, had fallen in love with her and they had married secretly. However, following a curse, Dushyant forgot Shakuntala. Shakuntala thus raised her son Bharat as a single mom, and the day Bharat asked about his father, she took him to Dushyant. The version mentioned in the Mahabharata says Dushyant remembered everything when he saw Shakuntala, but refused to accept her or her son. Only when the gods intervene did he recognize Shakuntala, but Shakuntala left her son with him and left to live in the forest. The more popular version in the Sanskrit poet Kalidasa’s Abhijnanam Shaakuntalam (think of it as early fanfiction) says that the curse was still in effect, and only when Shakuntala show Dushyant the ring he had given her did he remember her. He then readily accepted her and her son.

2. Chitrangada : The androgynous/non-binary warrior Queen of Manipur (present day Manipur, northeast India), she was Arjuna’s wife. Once Arjun had visited Manipur, and Chitrangada wanted to be with him, but she assumed he was straight and bigoted and thus asked Shiva to make her a feminine woman. However, on meeting her, Arjuna said he only wanted to meet with Chitrangada the warrior queen, for he loved her. Shiva then returned Chitrangada’s androgynous nature and her badass warrior skills. Arjuna and Chitrangada were then married and they had a son called Babruvahana (REALLY weird name). Chitrangada had strategically kept out of the Mahabharata war and thus saved her entire queendom. But as a result of a curse by the river goddess Ganga, her son ended up killing Arjun (his father) and then later committed suicide. They were both revived by the Naga princess Uloopi.

3. Uloopi : The daughter of the snake king Vasuki, Uloopi was a Naga princess who fell in love with Arjuna. One day, she dragged an unsuspecting Arjuna underwater to Nagaloka, where she professed her love to him, and Arjuna agreed to marry her. Her father however was unhappy with the alliance since Arjuna already had many wives and moreover, Arjuna had destroyed his brother Takshaka’s kingdom in the Khandava forest. Arjuna left her after they were married, and the Nagas then kicked her out. She was given refuge by Chitrangada. Her son Iravan was used as a human sacrifice in the Mahabharat war to guarantee success. After Babruvahana killed Arjuna, she revived both of them by using the mythical Nagamani (kind of like the Indian Philosopher’s Stone).

4. Subhadra : Krishna’s sister, Subhadra is said to be the incarnation of Yogamaya, Vishnu’s female essence. She kidnapped Arjuna on her wedding day, and eloped with him. She was his favourite wife, and also the mother of Abhimanyu.

5. Hidimbaa : The rakshasa princess, Hidimba was Bheema’s first wife before Draupadi. The story goes that both she and her brother Hidimba had initially wanted to eat the Pandavas in the forest, but Hidimbaa and Bheema fell in love with each other. Her brother got angry when he learnt his sister was with his food (humans), and so he proceeded to kill Bhima. It is said that Hidimbaa aided Bhima with her magic, so that he could kill her brother and marry her. She stayed behind to take care of her queendom while the Pandavas carried on. Her son Ghatotkacha helped Abhimanyu with his first marriage, and later turned out to be the fiercest warrior in the Mahabharata. He was so powerful that Karna had to use the weapon given to him by Indra to kill him.

6. Rukmani : Princess of Vidarbha (modern day Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh region) and Krishna’s first wife, Rukmani had called on Krishna to elope with her on the day of her marriage (she was being married off to some random dick). So she eloped with Krishna. She was the mother of Pradyumna.

7. Satyabhama : Third wife of Krishna, Satyabhama was the daughter of a noble (he had a fight with Krishna about this divine gem). She was proud and feisty and accompanied Krishna to all of his battles, most famously where she helped him kill the demon Narakasur. Her pride bordered on arrogance, with her repeatedly taunting Rukmani on how she ran away, demanding the gods that they give up the divine Parijata tree as payment for her husband helping them, and even once trying to measure and then give away gold equal to Krishna’s weight to prove that she is greater in status than Rukmani (surprisingly, she kept piling on gold but it never equaled Krishna’s weight but the moment Rukmani placed a leaf from her garden on it, it became heavier than Krishna.

8. Sulakshana : Balarama’s daughter, Sulakshana was initially betrothed to Duryodhana’s son Lakshman. However, she loved Abhimanyu (her first cousin. WHAT’S UP WITH PEOPLE FUCKING THEIR COUSINS Y’ALL jeez). Ghatotkacha helped her and Abhimanyu get married by rescuing her, and the union was blessed by Krishna.

9. Uttara : Daughter of Chief Virata with whom the Pandavas had sought refuge, Uttara was Abhimanyu’s second wife. She was the mother of the only surviving Pandava descendant Parikshit.

10. Lakshmanaa : Duryodhana’s daughter, Lakshamanaa was married to Krishna’s younger son Samba. The story goes that Samba had molested/raped her, so to save face Krishna had the two married. However, Lakshmanaa only agreed to the marriage once both Balaram and Krishna laid down beside her feet and begged her to marry Samba.

11. Bhanumati : Princess of Kalinga (present day Orissa, India), Bhanumati was Duryodhana’s wife. Her marriage with Duryodhana is described as a blissful one, with Duryodhana being described as a good husband and partner, despite being a bad person.

12. Dushala : The only Kaurava sister, Dushala was married to Jayadratha the king of Sindhudesha (present day Sindh, Indo-Pakistan). She forced her children to participate in the war from the side of the Kauravas, and they all ended up dead. She refused Pandava authority after the war, and instead became regent of Sindh until her grandchildren came of age.

Hey guys,

Today I'll be talking about the state I live in...I live in a city called Bengaluru (a.k.a silicon valley and garden city) in Karnataka, which is a state in India

Karnataka's northernmost district is Bidar, while it's southern district is Chamrajnagar

On the whole, Karanataka has a lot of places that were built by the prestigious rulers of Vijaynagar, Chalukya and many more dynasties...

The language of Karnataka is Kannada, which is a Dravidian Language

Kannada and Tamil share a lot of vocabulary and only the first letter changes, like p becomes h in Kannada

Kannada also has many dialects..There are some dialects that are different from other dialects

Northern Dialect- also called Uttara Kannada

South-western Dialect - also called Dakshina Kannada or Udupi/Mangaluru Kannada

Southern Dialect- this is the actual Kannada spoken in some of the main cities

Karnataka's Hampi is a UNESCO world heritage site

Here is a special district map of Kannada

Karnataka borders Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala

It also had incredible places like Sakleshpur hills and Dharmasthala

Karnataka is also the source of many rivers....

And if you're planning to visit India, definitely come here too

When the child reaches 5 years, they need to provide their biometric information to update their records in the UIDAI database. If a child has registered their Aadhaar between 5 to 15 years, they will again require their biometric details to update their details in the record.

The re-registrations are required because as the child grows, their biometric differs along with their ages. And if they are not timely updated, then it might lead to false identity and the child might face difficulties during verifications in the future.
