Sixth day of Navratri

Maa Katyayani—Slayer of Mahishasur

ऋषि कात्यायन सुता माँ दुर्गा कात्यायनी के नाम से सुप्रसिद्ध हैं। भू लोक को आतंकित करने वाले दुष्ट असुर महिषासुर का वध कर विश्व को भय के चक्रव्यूह से बाहर निकालने वाली माता कात्यायनी फिर महिषासुर मर्दिनी के नाम से सुविख्यात हुई।

कात्यायनी महामाये, महायोगिन्यधीश्वरी।

नन्दगोपसुतं देवी, पति मे कुरु ते नमः।।

Much like Mahishasur, may the Warrior Goddess slay our ignorance and ego. May she bless us with wisdom and valor, so that we can lead the path of dharma with no darkness of terror in our hearts. May she forever shower us with her love and protect us from any evil.

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

"You never loved me." She wails, her eyes a bleeding red that he can't face. She's kneeling at his feet and he's frozen in the light of the accusation that marks his skin whipped with every word.

She doesn't see it, of course. Her grief and ache blinds her.

He kneels, eyes burning with tears as he holds her as desperately as she sobs. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

His and her pain are both entwined and it's a physical ache in his heart.

"You are the perpetrator of the universe," she says,"Help me. I beg of you. Please."

He holds her tighter still, for she needs to be held together as she breaks apart. "I am here. Here. I won't leave you. I will never leave you. I will always, always be with you."

"Then love me!" She screams, and the kaustubh jewel on his chest leaves an impression on her forehead as she slumps in his arms. "Protect me! Let me be happy. Please, just love me, please, please. Please. Love me."

She's sniffling as he begs her to believe him. Believe in him. "I do. I've loved you for yugs, I've loved you since before you were born, I've loved you before you knew of me and I will love you even if you never love me. You are a part of me. I love you, beyond illusions and beyond doubt."

Her nails are leaving tiny red scraps down his arms but she's trembling still. "You are a God. How can you ever love me?"

"I am your Krishna first." He says and she sobs harder.

It's guilt instead of grief now, but he holds her all the same.

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
