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

Day two of Navratri
9 days , 9 Godesses
Day Two: Brahmacharini | ब्रह्मचारिणी
Epitome of Tapas
Brahmacharini represents Parvati in her phase of tapas. She walks barefoot carrying the japa mala in her right hand and kamandalu in her left.
On the second day, we should stop all the fripperies of life and take to deep penance and spend this night in meditation alone.
“Aum Devi Brahmacharinnyai Namaha!”
ॐ देवी ब्रह्मचारिण्यै नमः॥
Jai Maa Durga 🔱
Day 2
"Ya Devi Sarv Bhuteshu Brahmacharini rupen samsthita Namah tasyai Namah tasyai Namah tasaiye Namo Namah "
She walks on lands of whole universe, baths in celestial rivers , Wears planets as Rudraksh and drapes herself in light of thousand Suns .
Mata Parvati in her brahmcharini swaroop when sat to do penance She was accompanied by tiger and a pair of pigeons which symbolise in a way determination that needs courage and vision to be together with the her true form As AdyaShakti , Thus she called as Eka " Who is One and only like herself" or " Who has obtained oneness with herself"
She personifies the power of wisdom , knowledge, perseverance and Strong will. When her thoughts reach beyond the boundaries of illusion and restrictions upon free thinking. She breaks the barriers of orthodox vision , and challanges the prejudiced teachings passed to generations . She gives the wisdom of the mind to look beyond what is perceived by just eyes , experiencing the knowledge of whole cosmos within oneself .
She embodies inside every person who believes in progressive thinking, who doesn't shy away from challenging the superficial norms imposed on humanity, who have willingness to debate with the falsehood spreading in society, those who read , listen and think . The scholer of modern times , she is in you , she is in me , She is Brahmachaarini.
On this second night of Navratri festival let's celebrate this energy of nature as power of knowledge within everyone , with this dance we call Raas
Raas-is the path to self-discovery, harmony and wisdom within every form of બ્રહ્મચારિણી
