Navratri (Day 8) – The #Story of #Maa Mahagauri
22 Oct 2020 ... Due to her glow and extreme radiance, Maa #Parvati came to be known as Mahagauri. She wears white clothes, rides a white-coloured bull and has .
A long time ago, Lord Shiva went into deep penance and meditation due to the death of his first companion - Devi Sati. Lord Shiva refused to come out of his meditation and stayed away from all worldly affairs for many years.
Meanwhile, a demon by the name of Tarakasura was troubling the Gods to no end. At the request of the Gods, Devi Sati was reborn as Maa Shailaputri, the daughter of the Himalayas. She was also called as Maa Parvati.
It was said that she would bring Lord Shiva out of his meditation and their child would go on kill Tarakasura. One day, Sage Narada arrived at Maa Parvati’s doorstep and told her everything about her previous birth.
He also told her that she would have to perform severe Tapasya (penance), so that Lord Shiva can know her truth. Maa Parvati agreed and gave up all the comforts and luxuries of her palace. Soon, she went into a forest and began her dedicated penance.
Thousands of years passed but Maa Parvati did not give up. She refused to eat or drink anything, while also fighting through the cold, the rains and the storms. Due to this, her skin turned dark and her body was now covered with dust, soil, leaves, etc.
She turned extremely pale and thin. Due to this severe Tapasya, Maa Parvati lost all her radiance and became extremely weak. Finally, after a long time, Lord Shiva took notice of her penance. He even tested her devotion and realized that she was indeed his Sati, from the previous birth.
Lord Shiva agreed to marry Maa Parvati. Since, she had become weak and was covered in all kinds of dirt, Lord Shiva decided to cleanse her. He allowed the holy waters of Ganga flowing through his hair, to fall onto Maa Parvati. This sacred water washed away all the dirt from Maa Parvati’s body and she was able to regain her lost radiance.
Goddess of the Eighth Day of #Navratri
Due to her glow and extreme radiance, Maa Parvati came to be known as Mahagauri. She wears #white clothes, rides a white-coloured #bull and has four arms. She holds a Trishul (trident), a lotus and a drum in each of her hands, while she uses her fourth hand to bless all her devotees.
Maa Mahagauri represents the purity and inner beauty of every living being. She is a loving Goddess who takes care of her devotees and helps them overcome their difficulties as well.
14 April, 2024 Sunday Shashthi #White Maa #Katyayani Puja
The sixth day of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Maa Katyayani and signifies cheerfulness and joy. Believed to be the destroyer of all evil, she is seen as a warrior goddess who was able to bring peace to the world.
Maa Katyayani is one of the fiercest forms of Goddess Durga. She is also known as Mahishasurmardini (Killer of Mahishasura), as she was able to defeat and kill the evil demon Mahishasura.
It is told that long ago there was a sage by the name of Katyayana. He was a huge devotee of Goddess Shakti and spent days and nights in prayer. Sage Katyayana always wished for #Goddess #Shakti be born as his daughter.
During this period, an evil demon named Mahishasura was creating great trouble for the Gods. As the days went by, he gained more power and the Gods were increasingly worried about him. They prayed to Goddess Shakti and asked her to save them from the wrath of Mahishasura.
Goddess Shakti decided to take #birth on #Earth and end the reign of Mahishasura. She granted the wish of Sage Katyayana and was born on Earth as his daughter. She grew up to be a strong, beautiful fighter and came to be known as Katyayani, the daughter of Katyayana.
One day, two messengers of Mahishasura - Chandha and Mundha - saw Katyayani and were mesmerized by her beauty. They went back to their master and told him all about Katyayani Upon hearing this, Mahishasura got very happy and immediately asked another of his messenger - Dundubhi - to go and talk to Katyayani.
Dundubhi met Katyayani and told her all about Mahishasura. He told her about his greatness and boasted about how Mahishasura was the now the ruler of all three worlds. He told Katyayani that she should marry Mahishasura as they would make a great couple.
Katyayani smiled and told Dundubhi that according to her family tradition, Mahishasura must first defeat her in battle. Only then can they both get married. Dundubhi went back to Mahishaura and told him about this challenge. Mahishasura agreed and soon the preparations began.
A fierce battle took place between Katyayani and Mahishasura. She managed to defeat his demon soldiers and even killed most of them. When Katyayani and Mahishasura came face to face, he transformed himself into a buffalo. This proved to be a real challenge for Katyayani as she struggled to fight him.
However, Katyayani tricked Mahishasura and climbed onto his back. He was surprised by this move and tried very hard to shake her off, but failed. Katyayani then placed her foot on the back of Mahishasura’s neck, pierced him with her Trishul (trident) and cut his head off.
This is how Maa Katyayani killed the evil and powerful demon Mahishasura. In doing so, she saved the Gods from his menace and brought peace back into this world.
Goddess of the Sixth Day of #Navratri
Since, Maa Katyayani defeated and killed Mahishasura, she is also known as Mahishasurmardini. In many parts of India, unmarried girls often observe fasts and pray to Maa Katyayani in order to get a loving and caring husband.
She is an incarnation of Goddess #Durga and is depicted as having four hands. She holds a #lotus in two hands, a #sword in one and blesses her devotees with the fourth hand. It is believed that she protects her devotees from all kinds of evil and blesses them with #happiness and #joy.

What's not been mentioned thusfar is the religious tenet that goes with the trappings of today's GOP: "The worst Republican candidate is still better than the best Democrat candidate".

"And they *are* connected. As we argue, the serious problems now plaguing rural White Americans are causing too many of them to lose faith in the American project, to the point where some are abandoning or even threatening the vital norms, traditions, and institutions that undergird the world's oldest constitutional democracy."~ Ibid.
One of many ways the existing power structure maintains control
text of image: Very young black girl holding hands with White Jesus. She asks Jesus why are you white? Jesus answers “Because I’m a psychological tool. By creating the image of a white God, this subliminally engrains the myth of white superiority into the subconscious minds.”

In #VedicAstrology, the #Rohini #Nakshatra holds a special place as the ‘Moon’s favorite wife.’ This distinction arises from her exceptional beauty, charm, sophistication, and innate ability to express love. Among the 27 other wives, she stood out as a beloved partner.
Often referred to as the ‘red one’ or a ‘red cow,’ Rohini nakshatra individuals tend to exhibit distinctive physical characteristics. They often have a rosy and firm complexion, with reddish tones on their cheeks, nose, palms, and soles, more pronounced than in most people.
Their skin has a tendency to flush easily. Additionally, those born under Rohini nakshatra may possess talents in music and art, akin to the musical prowess of figures like Krishna, known for his mastery of the flute.
How to Spot a True Rohini?
Rohini is a constellation linked to Taurus, and it exudes an unmistakable ultra-feminine quality. In the realm of astrology, Rohini embodies the pure essence of Venus within the Taurus zodiac sign. When we delve into the personality of a female born under Rohini, she often assumes the role of the elder daughter in her family.
For the male counterparts born under Rohini, it’s worth noting that they may sometimes find themselves under the nurturing care of foster parents. However, regardless of their upbringing, they tend to form incredibly close bonds with their guardians.
In many ways, they mirror the righteous and benevolent qualities of figures like Lord Krishna. Additionally, they possess a natural magnetism that draws the opposite sex to them, much like how Krishna captivated the Gopis and Rohini enchanted Chandra, the moon god.
One defining feature of Rohini individuals is their fervent passion for artistic pursuits, which often extend into their professional lives. They are drawn to music, dance, fine arts, literature, and may have a penchant for reading or journaling.
Furthermore, self-reliance and independence are characteristics that are deeply ingrained in those born under Rohini. Their determination and self-sufficiency empower them to chart their own course in life.
The ruling planet of the Rohini Nakshatra is the Moon. In Vedic culture, the Moon represents the mind, and because of this connection, individuals born under the Rohini Nakshatra tend to possess a creative nature.
They excel at keeping their thoughts in check and under control. Additionally, those born in this constellation often have a captivating beauty that draws people in, along with a melodious voice that effortlessly grabs attention.
In Rohini Nakshatra, the energy source, or Adhi Devta, is Prajapati. Prajapati plays a crucial role in providing mental clarity about the ruling planet and acts as a bridge to connect us with the divine energy associated with that planet.
Prajapati is known as the creator of life and its protector. Those born under the influence of Rohini Nakshatra possess a unique ability—they can protect and nurture others, ensuring that everyone around them experiences happiness and contentment.
This nurturing and protective quality is a prominent trait of individuals born under Rohini Nakshatra, reflecting the influence of Prajapati, the Adhi Devta of this Nakshatra.

#Krittika #Nakshatra derived from the name #Kartikeya, has its roots in Hindu mythology. Kartikeya was the son of the deities #Shiva and #Parvati. Legend has it that in a contest against his brother #Ganesha, Kartikeya lost and decided to leave his parents’ home to live elsewhere. Krittika Nakshatra is associated with an #axe and is under the influence of the #Sun. People born under this nakshatra tend to inherit some of the characteristics of Lord Kartikeya.
One notable trait of individuals born in Krittika Nakshatra is their tendency to venture far from their place of #birth in pursuit of success and prosperity. Whether it’s education or any endeavor leading to long-term achievements, they often kick-start their journeys away from their hometowns. Interestingly, they have a strong affinity for activities like gardening, agriculture, or anything related to the nurturing and maintenance of trees. The symbol of the axe holds a dual meaning for them, symbolizing both agriculture and the act of cutting down, and it’s up to each Krittika-born individual to determine which aspect resonates more with them.
Despite their reputation for cutting ties, Krittika Nakshatra individuals are paradoxically quite emotional and yearn for strong connections with others.

"whites decided amongst themselves that what their nations needed was less whites? Of course it wasn't the whites that initiated this #agenda. It was a faction of the minorities already present in the #white-nations and a #global #movement lead by a few white #multi-billionaires, backed up by their #NGO front companies, the #UN, #China, and the #fanatics on both the #left and the #right.
Whites are Christians, and many Christians have a guilt complex. When drilled down upon, it is due to their belief in original sin. Ask any Catholic about their deep-seated guilt. Guilt can be played and turned to other purposes. This is the door that the enemies of the west opened and once inside they unleashed their poisonous rhetoric on the white nations. They got in through the white nation's Christian tendency to feel guilty and the need to repent and make amends for any imagined transgression.
It was a perfectly played ploy. For most European Countries it is already too late. Most white nations of the past will not survive this onslaught. The #white #race will be #displaced and divested of both power and territory. They will become The New Jews of the New World Order.
I don't think there is anything that can be done about it either anymore."

Mit der Zeit wich blauer Himmel einem dichten kalten Weiß, dessen Ende innerhalb der Horizonte nicht erkennbar ist. Auffrischender Wind testet die Festigkeit der Jalousien. Der überfrorene Brunnen trägt Spuren etlicher Füße, solcher mit und solcher ohne Schuhe. Hinter der Terrasse auf halber Höhe ruhen Schreibtische und Bildschirme im Pausenmodus, ein einzelner Kollege sitzt in seinen Stuhl versunken und wischt über ein kleines Display. Der Mittag: Apfelkuchen zwischen Signal und Rauschen. Vielleicht fehlt auch nur der richtige Code. (Im Technischen schon schwierig genug. Für den Techniker im Sozialen noch schwieriger und unvertrauter.)

L'aigrette blanche est un oiseau élégant et emblématique; se caractérise par son plumage entièrement blanc, et chasse en restant immobile dans l'eau ou en avançant lentement, puis elle utilise son bec pour saisir rapidement ses proies.
L'aigrette blanche a été historiquement chassée pour ses plumes ornementales, qui étaient utilisées dans l'industrie de la mode au 19e siècle. Cela a conduit à un déclin de leurs populations dans certaines régions.
Ces oiseaux sont également populaires auprès des observateurs d'oiseaux et des amoureux de la nature en raison de leur élégance et de leur comportement intéressant lorsqu'ils chassent. Ils sont souvent considérés comme un symbole de la faune des zones humides.

Close to noon. Day remains white, pale, cold. Adding some forest green to the corners of the rooms, spilling some sparkling light all over it. Snowflakes dancing with the wind again. A quiet comfort in everything.
