Speaking and acting with such ecstatic love for Krishna, the Master ofĀ  Yoga masters, the wives of Lord MadhavaĀ attainedĀ the ultimate goal. He, who in numerous songs is glorified in numerous ways, attracts with force the mind of any woman who but heard about Him. And how much more attractive would He then be to those who directly see Him?

its the way some theories say how andal never existed and that it was the Perialvar (the chief priest/alvar) whoā€™d adopted a girl and used her identity to write krishna-based bhakti erotica for me šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø

@modernmythsnet |Event thirty|Andal;

Andal is known for her unwavering devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Adopted by her father, Periyalvar, Andal avoided earthly marriage, the normal and expected path for women of her culture, to marry Vishnu, both spiritually and physically.

In many places in India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, Andal is treated more than a saint and as a form of god herself and a shrine for Andal is dedicated in most Vishnu temples.

yā€™all omg i read somewhere that apparently rama starts acting different after he kills ravana is bc vishnu left him since vishnu had already completed his task on earth. and lakshmi also leaves sita after sita is kidnapped to lanka bc that was the catalyst for the whole war to start which gives rama (vishnu) an opportunity to kill ravana.

which means that the events that occurred after ravana was killed were all rama the humanā€™s doing (agni pariksha, uttar khand). it wasnā€™t rama the incarnation of Vishnu anymore.

and thatā€™s why valmiki didnā€™t write anything after the ramayana bc he knew that rama wasnā€™t vishnu anymore and stuff

The songĀ ā€œNagada Sang Dholā€ fromĀ ā€œGoliyon ke Ram-Leelaā€ includes some lyrics from an old Gujarati folk song that refer to the Ramayana.Ā They refer to a conversation between Rama & Lakshmana and one of his devotees, Shabari, but IMO they can be read another way, almost like a ghost song, where after being abandoned by Rama, Sita is forever condemned to wander the earth, waiting for Rama and Lakshmana to come for her. A la the last lines of The Highwayman. It makes me want to write some dark ghost!AU of the Uttar Khand.
