Fully-automatic-ass - Merely A Humble Woesie

The way Bollywood has ruined the term “Raasleela” is unforgivable. From the song “Character Dheela he” where the line “..Ishaq ke naam par karte sabhi abb raasleela he” where Salman Khan even does the hand gesture of a bansuri to the dialogues of movies like Bajirao Mastani where Kashi Bai played by Priyanka Chopra’s can be seen saying “..Humne apke sath Rasleela jo nhi ki.” These Bollywood songs and movies give a negative connotation to Raasleela and tries to portray it as something sinful. Do they ever research such things before they use it in their movies or is it deliberate? These questions have to be asked if we are to preserve our culture and it’s foundations. Bollywood has twisted so many things related to Hinduism and continues to do so in the name of creative liberty.

So what does Raasleela actually even means? - The term "Raas Leela" roughly means Dance of Devine Love. Raas Leela is an ancient Indian tradition that tells the love story of childhood sweethearts ~ Lord Krishna and Radha. Picture skilled dancers in colorful costumes, swaying and twirling to the rhythm of drums and singing voices. They move like moonlight on water, showing us adventure, love, and a journey of self-discovery. Raas Leela isn't just a dance; it's a journey for your soul. Each step tells a story, filled with deep meaning and a connection to something bigger.

Imagine a dance that tells a love story that's been captivating hearts for centuries. This is Raas Leela, a mesmerizing performance that's become synonymous with Vrindavan. The exact beginnings are a bit of a mystery, but some believe it started as early as the 16th century. The Indian classical dance of Kathak also developed from the 'Raslila of Braj and Manipuri Classical Dance' (Vrindavana) also known as Natwari Nritya. Back then, these performances were a way for devotees to express their love for Lord Krishna and Radha. Through graceful movements and beautiful music, they brought to life the playful romance and spiritual connection shared by these divine beings.

Witnessing a Raas Leela performance is more than just entertainment; it's a journey through Vrindavan's rich history and a chance to connect with its enduring traditions.

Why is it important to push back against these false narratives and portrayals of hindu traditional and devotional rituals by the film industries? Because movies and songs are some of the most impactful forms of propaganda. They create long lasting impressions in the minds of its audiences.

It’s high time we take these things seriously and actually do something about it.

miku but she’s in a medieval manuscript

There’s a massive crowd actively gaslighting and downplaying what is happening to Bangladeshi hindus rn.

When I shared verified news of hindu temples being targeted and hindu homes being broken into on my blog I was told that it’s all “false” and that Hindus are safe in Bangladesh. I was told that the protesters are only targeting awami league leaders but if this is true then what is the need to burn down hindu temples? I’ve come across several Bangladeshi hindus who are confirming that they’ve faced violence since the past few days.

Burned Iskcon temple:

It isn’t just a new phenomenon, the population of hindus has been shrinking in Bangladesh since a long time now -

It’s the same story in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan-

The Daily Star

Attacks on Hindu houses, temples, businesses go on

Within the first day and a half since the fall of Sheikh Hasina-led government, the country witnessed a spate of violence, specifically targ

I wish I could upload more pictures and videos that I’ve on my phone.

P.s it’s also true that not everyone is facing trouble but quite a few are. People should refrain from making blanket statements. Not all Hindus are safe. There are factual reports of temples being burned down. Stop trying to silence the voices that are speaking about these things.

Suffering is all I know
