15 April, 2024 Monday Saptami #Red #Kalaratri Puja

#Maa Kaalratri is one of the terrifying forms of #Goddess #Durga and is also referred to as Maa Kaali. The word Kaal usually refers to #time or #death and the word Ratri means night. Hence, she is also known as the Goddess who brings an end to darkness.

Maa Kaalratri is known to destroy ghosts, evil spirits and demon entities. She is also referred to as Shubhankari, since it is believed that she brings about auspicious news.

Soon, they launched a fierce attack on the Gods and managed to defeat them. They were helped in this attack by Chandha, Mundha and Raktabeej. These three were old friends of the demon Mahishasura, before he was killed by Maa Katyayani. Together, all of them began to rule over the three worlds.

Indra and the other Gods went to the Himalayas and prayed to Goddess Parvati. She understood their fears and created another goddess - Chandi - to help them. Goddess Chandi was able to kill most of the demons sent by Shumbha and Nishumbha

However, demons like Chandha, Mundha and Raktabeej were too powerful and she was unable to kill them. So, Goddess Chandi created another goddess from her forehead, who came to be known as Kaalratri or Kaali.

Maa Kaalratri fought Chandha and Mundha and eventually killed them. Hence, she is also known as Chamunda. After this, Goddess Chandi and Goddess Kaalratri went on to fight the powerful demon Raktabeej.

Raktabeej possessed a special boon from Lord Bramha that if any drop of his blood fell to the ground, another lookalike of him would be created from that drop. So, as Maa Kaalratri fought and injured Raktabeej, several clones of him were being created.

Looking at this, Maa Kaalratri got immensely furious and started drinking the blood of every clone of Raktabeej. This prevented his blood from falling to the ground and eventually he was killed by Maa Kaalratri. Later, she also killed Shumbha and Nishumbha and brought peace back to the three worlds.

Maa Kaalratri is worshipped on the seventh day of Navratri. She is a ferocious manifestation of Goddess Durga and is feared by all demons and evil spirits.

She is known to have a very dark complexion and has long, untied hair. Maa Kaalratri is drenched in blood, wears a garland of skulls around her neck and has four hands. She holds a thunderbolt and a scimitar in two of her hands, while her other two hands are in the abhaya (protecting) and varada (blessing) positions.

Therefore, it is believed that Maa Kaalratri blesses her devotees and also protects them from all evil. She is worshipped and honoured during Navratri, as she can destroy all darkness and bring peace to the world.

Гитарист SIX FEET UNDER: «Chris очень мягкий!»

В недавнем интервью с гитаристом SIX FEET UNDER, Jack Owen прокомментировал тот факт, что многие не любят Chris'a Barnes'a:

«О, он очень мягкий человек, и он мне как брат. Но если вы его не знаете, то он кажется довольно замкнутым. Думаю, это заразно — набрасываться на кого-то в Интернете... Полагаю, это тролли, которые связаны друг с другом. И они обсуждают: "Ну что, ты это сказал? Я скажу что-нибудь похуже". Но он только что дал интервью "This Day In Metal", и я подумал: "Да, это тот самый Chris" — очень спокойный и мягкий, но только не на сцене!»

На вопрос, повлияла ли вновь обретенная трезвость Chris'а на его вокал на грядущем альбоме SIX FEET UNDER "Killing For Revenge", Jack сказал:

«Да, я думаю, это помогло вокалу. Определенно. Потому что я начал писать тексты на своих демо-записях и сам накладывать скретч-вокал. А он такой: "Хочешь, чтобы я так спел?" Потому что я не делаю никаких высоких воплей или чего-то подобного - только низкие. А я такой: "Да, чувак. Пой так низко и с ошибками". А он такой: "Ладно, я могу потерять пару слов". А я такой: "Да какая разница?". Но, да, что касается трезвости, я думаю, это определенно помогает. Сила легких!»

UK Court Issues Weird Assange Decision, Leaving Him in Limbo Again

This is hardly a big win.
The #UK just keeps trying to kick this can, while #Julian continues to #rot in #prison.

Reuters:

#WikiLeaks founder #JulianAssange’s #extradition to the #UnitedStates from #Britain was put on hold on Tuesday after London’s High Court said the United States must provide assurances he would not face the #death #penalty.

U.S. prosecutors are seeking to put #Assange, 52, on trial on 18 counts, all bar one under the #EspionageAct, over WikiLeaks’ release of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables.

After Britain gave the go-ahead for his extradition last year, Assange’s lawyers in February launched a final attempt in the English courts to challenge that decision... continue reading

#Ardra #Nakshatra in #Astrology denotes that native has intellectual nature, passionate thinking side, is sharp-minded, looking for why and the cause behind things that happen in the world, has strong speaking talents, lack a large number of close friends, confrontations with others, master of debates and arguments, makes enemies easily, causing emotional pain to others, and can be turned away by society.

Ardra Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, and tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A #Bead or a #Drop
The sign for this Nakshatra is a tear or a drop. This is an indication of seminal fluid that causes fertilization.

Deity: Lord #Rudhra
The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is #Rudra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes #cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, #Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. Vishnu is a deity of Shravana Nakshatra because, during #Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will #howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). #Shiva is an #Aghori, the one who is #naked, constantly meditates, deals and #loves #death, knows the value of death, stays in #cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine #man from the #RigVeda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of #Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is #Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, #Swati Nakshatra and #Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.
Description of Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native with Ardra as his natal Nakshatra will have a wavering mind, be a crafty speaker, and will steal others’ money, be self-respected, will have few sons, be long-lived, and will have royal money.
According to Jataka Parijata: If at a native’s birth, the Moon is in Ardra, he will be destitute to wealth, fickle, with much physical strength, and addicted to base actions.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Ardra will be interested in rituals related to tantra, adventurous, skillful in trading, fierce, and ungrateful.
According to Brihat Samhita: The asterism Ardra makes one perfidious, haughty, irascible, ungrateful, cruel, and sinful.

Natives born in #Bharani #Nakshatra are strong, seek happiness through physical activity, are competitive, athletic, growth-oriented, pushing limits, hard-working, resilient, do not quit at the mercy of passions, engaging in desires, attracting the opposite sex, naturally sexual, indulgent, romantic, creating life (children), loyal to loved ones, and take care of the family.

Bharani Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths downwards). In these #nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc. can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: The #Yoni
Yoni is the symbol of Bharani Nakshatra. Yoni means the source. Another meaning of Yoni is animal species.

Deity: The #Yama
The deity of Bharani Nakshatra is the God of death, the Yama, and the symbol is Yoni. #Death is an indication of this cycle’s end, and the Yoni suggests the next #birth. The source of the baby is a mother, and therefore this symbol suggests the mother’s need for the baby.

Characteristics of Bharani Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Bharani Nakshatra is the elephant. The elephant is big, bulky, huge, and when elephant runs or stampede, the ground shakes.
An elephant has an excellent memory. Hence, the natives of Bharani Nakshatra will never forget what right or wrong you did to them.
They can take either revenge on you or hug you 30 years later if you meet them by chance.
Elephant is a family animal, and they have partners, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.
When one dies, they all come to the burial ground because elephants actually know how to dig the ground to bury their dead family and relatives on rare occasions.
It is pretty much an animal with a human heart.
They can consume 50 gallons of water and 200-600 pounds of food per day.
They are very protective about everyone they know, not just their own young ones.
Elephants are also known for their beautiful tusks.
A Bharani native is extremely protective of their family and children.
They lash out at anyone trying to come after them for any type of reason.
They usually take time to do their tasks, and in that, they do not like to be disturbed, else they get irritated.
Once you do anything wrong to a Bharani native, they will remind you of what you did to them even after 30 years. They can be your best friend and a close family member at times, but they will give a hint that they didn’t forget what you did to them when they were 8 years old.
Elephants have tusks, which are their teeth; hence, Bharani natives will have quite long teeth and usually some issues with the teeth, which is karma due to what has been happening with an elephant in nature for many years, where people are hurting them for their tusks.
This translate into Bharani natives even having a botched job with a dentist at one point in life where they would have to do several procedures to get their teeth correct.
The element of Bharani is the fire of Yoni. This fire is the fire of destined birth.
It’s the fire of sexual expression when the fire is at its maximum.
Bharani natives are quite restrained in the early part of their life, but when they come into their sexual maturity, they blossom much faster and catch to those who have already blossomed before them.
The Yoni is the gateway of birth and not just a physical private part of a woman.
The other symbolism is the boat, which takes the native into the realm of ancestors on the other side.
Act of sex with a Bharani native is like an anchor for the opposite sex.
They feel fulfilled and attached to the symbolic boat. But due to the devata of Bharani, one usually has some issues with the womb either before or after the birth of a child if Bharani is influenced or aspected by a malefic.
The fire of creation shows a Bharani native is fulfilled through having a child. The womb is the result of Yoni’s presence. The devata of this Nakshatra is the graceful Yama.
He’s the one who takes you in his cradle on his black buffalo to show you the reality of the Universe vs the illusion you were living as a physical body.
Knowing these small facts about Yama, we see that the native is attracted to death, and loves to know what is on the other side.
They even go through near-death and out of body experiences.
Bharani natives always get skin issues in the leg, some form of injury to the leg in their lifetime.
Knowing that Yama is the one who judges us after our death, the Bharani native always judges people and loves being in the place of either being a lawyer or fights for injustice or being in a human resource position where they deal with legal policies, rules and regulations.
Such natives are also attracted to pathology, undertaker and gynaecologist.
Since Yama took a stance against his stepmother, a Bharani native will have a hard time getting along with his mother, especially if she is a stepmother and will also rebel against his father for not seeing what was happening with them.
Yama is about keeping the order in the Universe, following rules and laws.
This can also translate into following a code, whether code of ethics, code of God, cult or government.
You will notice that such people love the Samurai culture of code and love wearing ancient body armours.
The Bharani natives will be interested in studying Indian culture and history alongside, for instance, Mythology.
This interest comes due to the fact that bodies in their culture were mummified as they knew after death and rebirth, the native would come and collect their belongings and their body.
Since these cultures dealt with death in such a mystical and beautiful way, it only relates to honouring Yama.
The ritual of death is one of the most important rituals your body can experience while on this planet.
Whatever culture honour death, it honours Yama.
Shamanism is a big thing with the Bharani natives.
They either take an interest in becoming one or make friends with modern-day shamans.
A Shaman is a person who connects with the dead souls and works in the world of death.
Yama, due to his injury on his leg and his brother, Shani, who gets debilitated in Bharani, both are slow movers.
Since Yama gets delayed due to obstacles in his path, the Bharani natives, too, get delayed in their undertakings and any type of work they take on.
Such people, even if promptly, somehow always are delayed in que.
Sun being the hottest and biggest thing in the sky, shows no one can look into his eyes, or else they go blind.
Bharani natives always, at some point in early childhood, do not look at their father eye-to-eye.
They always either look elsewhere or close their eyes.
They also tend to have very gloomy eyes or eyes with a shadow of darkness around it.
You can easily spot Bharani eyes.
Being the son of Sun, Yama has a great authority, which transpires into human behavior.
Bharani native is all about having the authority.
They sometimes may not even listen to others because they feel their authority is being questioned.
There is always some minor or major issue that occurs at the last minute in whatever task they try to take.
If they start shooting a movie, then on the scheduled day, they would encounter rain on the location set.
If they are lawyers, then last minute, some paperwork or witness might go missing.
Yama is about taking life, taking the soul from human bio-mechanical suit, and transporting it into its true form on the other side. We can see this same behavior in Bharani children where they would say phrases like “all done, I am finished, goodbye, I am done with you, I am finished with you.”
Attributes of Bharani Nakshatra in Astrology
It is possible to have an idea of Bharani Nakshatra’s nature from the nature of Rahu in Astrology, Mangal, and Yama.
Rahu gives extravagant enjoyment of material pleasure and is later on the cause of sorrow.
Mangal gives courage, strength, exaltation, and hope.
Yama gives purity, cleanliness, justice, and integrity.
The sense of restraint is also Yamas’ gift; he is the Lord of Dharma, a stern disciplinarian, a ruthless expositor of truth, and a refuge for kings and law-abiding subjects.
Description of Bharani Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native who has a quietly disposed mind will be unsteady in thinking, be after women, dear to his brothers, self-respected, courageous, helpful to friends, long-lived, and with less number of sons.
According to Jataka Parijata: The native will have a defective limb, will be addicted to another’s wife, be cruel, ungrateful, and will possess wealth.
According to Sage Narada:: The native born in Bharani Nakshatra will be skillful in sexual acts, be truthful, resolute in his undertakings, bereft of sickness, fortunate, and will eat little food.
According to Brihat Samhita: The native makes one carry out one’s determination, is truthful, free from ill health, efficient, and happy.

INDIAN cricketer Hoysala K has reportedly died aged 35.

It is believed the bowler suffered a heart attack after collapsing during the Aegis South Zone tournament in Bangalore.

The incident occurred during a team meeting with his side A G Karnataka on Thursday.

It is claimed he received medical attention immediately but he did not respond to treatment.

He was taken to Bowring Hospital in Bengaluru via ambulance where doctors confirmed he had passed away.

Tributes have poured in with Indian cricketer and fast bowler Abhimanyu Mithun honouring his friend.

He wrote: "It’s not something I thought I would ever have to write. Today we lost a lovely human being, a talented cricketer, a good caring friend and loving son.

"Gone too soon, but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Hoysi."

A fan said: "Tragic. Promising career cut short. Condolences."

Another added: "Very sad to hear this."

And a further fan posted: "Gosh. Have met the boy. Cruel."

Hoysala had previously played for Bellary Tuskers and Shivamogga Lion in the Karnataka Premier League, as well as representing the Karnataka junior squad.

In a thrilling match at the RSI Bengaluru Ground, Karnataka emerged victorious over Tamil Nadu in a nail-biting finish. After setting a target of 173 runs for Tamil Nadu to chase in 20 overs, Karnataka managed to secure the win by a narrow margin of just one run.

Tamil Nadu fell just short of the target, finishing with a total of 171 runs.

Hoysala played a crucial role in the match, scoring thirteen runs off thirteen balls before making a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Tamil Nadu's opener, P. Parveen Kumar.

Despite conceding 28 runs in the four overs he bowled, Hoysala's performance was instrumental in Karnataka's victory by removing swashbuckling opener, Kumar on the very first ball of Tamil Nadu's run-chase.

Is Navalny Dead?

Let's wait to decide.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/16/russia-navalny-dies-prison

A spokesperson for Navalny has not yet confirmed his death and has said his lawyer is flying to the prison colony. She said she will not comment further until she has more information.

Declaring him dead is a cheap way to make his sentence a life sentence. It's also an excuse for holding him incommunicado. Why not just kill him and pretend it was "natural causes"? Maybe because that causes Navalny himself less suffering. On the other hand, Putin has tried to kill him before now.

One thing I'm pretty sure about: if Navalny is dead, he didn't die of natural causes.
