de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna_(Mythologie)
Arjuna or Arjun(Sanskrit: अर्जुन, arjuna) is one of the heroes of the Hindu epic Mahābhārata, whose name means 'bright', 'shining', 'white' or 'silver' (cf. Latin argentum). Arjuna was such a peerless archer that he is often referred to as Jishnu - the undefeatable. The third of the five Pandava brothers, Arjuna was one of the children borne by Kunti, the first wife of Pandu. Arjuna is considered to be an incarnation of Nara, the younger brother of Narayana.[1] [2] He is sometimes referred to as the 'fourth Krishna' of the Mahabharata.[3]

Shiva (Sanskrit, शिव,Tamil,சிவன், m., Śiva, wörtl.: „Der Gütige“, [ɕɪvʌ]) ist eine der wichtigsten Formen des Göttlichen im Hinduismus. Im Shivaismus gilt er den Gläubigen als die wichtigste Manifestation des Höchsten. Häufige Beinamen sind Shankar, Mahadeva (Sanskrit: „Großer Gott“) und Natraj (Hindi: „König der Tänzer“). In den Veden erscheint der Name „Shiva“ noch nicht, möglicherweise ist aber der vedische Gott Rudra der spätere Shiva.
Die Übersetzung des Wortes „Shiva“ aus dem Sanskrit lautet „der Gütige“, „der Gnädige“ oder auch „der Freund“. Als Bestandteil der „hinduistischen Trinität“ (Trimurti) mit den drei Aspekten des Göttlichen als Brahma, der als Schöpfer gilt, und Vishnu, dem Bewahrer, verkörpert Shiva das Prinzip der Zerstörung. Außerhalb der Trinität verkörpert er aber alles, Schöpfung und Neubeginn ebenso wie Erhaltung und Zerstörung. Durch seinen Tanz symbolisiert er den Kreislauf der Zeiten oder den rasenden Tanz der Zerstörung und der Schöpfung. Shiva ist dadurch auch der Gott oder das Prinzip der Ekstase. Er besitzt 108 weitere Namen.
Parvati (Sanskrit: Pārvatī, पार्वती), sometimes spelled Parvathi or Parvathy, is a Hindu goddess. Parvati is also regarded as a representation of Shakti, albeit the gentle aspect of that goddess because she is a mother goddess. Parvati is considered as the supreme Divine Mother and all other goddesses are referred to as her incarnations or manifestations. Shaktas consider her as the ultimate Divine Shakti—the embodiment of the total energy in the universe.
Parvati is nominally the second consort of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and rejuvenation. However, she is not different from Satī, being the reincarnation of that former consort of Shiva. Parvati is the mother of the gods Ganesha and Skanda (Kartikeya). Some communities also believe her to be the sister of god Vishnu. She also is regarded the daughter of the Himalayas.
Parvati when depicted alongside Shiva appears with two arms, but when alone, she is shown having four arms, and astride a tiger or lion. Generally considered a benign goddess, Parvati also has fearful aspects like Durga, Kali, Chandi, and the Mahavidyas as well as benevolent forms like Mahagauri, Shailputri, and Lalita.
Thought For Food: Esoteric Mélange Lunch Combo - IMRAN™
My love for food, and Pepsi consumption since childhood, ensure i do not stay skinny for long even when I take extra weight off. But I do try to change my eating habits.
This was a funky delicious mélange light meal I concocted with chicken enchilada soup as the primary ingredient. I added a bunch of other things to make it zestier, spicier, more meaty, and of course prettier to look at. Instead of a soda I felt the combination of juices served as both fluid and dessert.

*Spending hours drinking tea and reading about the esoteric views of the world.
* So many nights awake at the exotic sounds of the singing bowls trying to understand the meaning of all this.
*Who are we, where we came from?
I wish to unveil all the misteries of the Universe!
Today I suggest we take a break from religious architecture and art (but do we?), and visit a very special room in a very special non-religious monument: the lordly Mediæval castle of Simiane. Still in the Luberon mountain, this very strange castle was built from 1031 and its keep, which is one of the only remaining parts still standing, was erected between 1190 and 1210.
It is this keep that will retain our attention as its top room is unusually splendid (quite unnecessarily so for defense!) and so strangely designed that a consensus about its true purpose has never been reached: purely decorative, semi-religious, esoteric? Lots of hypotheses, some of them quite fantastic, have been made. It reminded me of the equally strange Castel del Monte in the Italian province of Apulia. Hopefully, my photos will give you an opportunity to make up your own mind...!
This is a five-exposure panorama shot of the mysterious and gorgeous top room in the keep of the castle of Simiane. It was stitched with PTGui software (which is why the EXIF look a bit strange too!). There is no deformation on the supporting arches, they do appear today to have this slightly twisting movement, although it is not known whether this was intended from the beginning as an artistic effect, or if it is the consequence of a warping of the upper structure.
THE MYSTERY OF THE VEIL
The Veil can be thick or transparent, unique or multiple; it veils or it unveils, violently or gently, suddenly or progressively; it includes or it excludes, and it separates thus two regions, one inward and one outward. All these modes are manifested in the microcosm as well as in the macrocosm, or in the spiritual life as well as in the cosmic cycles.
The impenetrable Veil covers from sight something that is too sacred or too intimate; the veil of Isis suggests the two relationships, since the body of the Goddess coincides with the Holy-of-Holies.
The "sacred" refers to the divine aspect of "Majesty"; the "intimate" for its part refers to "Beauty"; blinding Majesty and intoxicating Beauty.
The transparent Veil, on the contrary, communicates both the sacred and the intimate, like a sanctuary that opens its door, or a bride who gives herself, or a bridegroom who welcomes and takes possession.
When the Veil is thick, it hides the Divinity: it is made of the forms that constitute the world, but these are also the passions within the soul; the thick Veil is woven out of sensorial phenomena around us and passional phenomena within us; and be it noted that an error is a passional element to the extent that it is serious and that man is attached to it.
The thickness of the Veil is both objective and subjective, in the world and in the soul: it is subjective in the world in so far as our minds fail to penetrate to the essence of forms, and it is objective in the soul in the sense that passions and thoughts are phenomena.
When the Veil is transparent, it reveals the Divinity: it is made of forms in so far as these communicate their spiritual contents, whether we understand them or not; in an analogous fashion, the virtues allow the Divine Qualities to shine through, while the vices indicate their absence, or their opposites, which comes to the same thing. The transparency of the Veil is both objective and subjective, which can be understood without difficulty after what has just been said; for if on the one hand forms are transparent (not in respect
of their existence but in respect of their messages), on the other hand it is our mind which makes them transparent by its penetration.
Transcendence thickens the Veil; immanence renders it transparent, either in the objective world or in ourselves, through our awareness of the underlying Spirit. From quite a different standpoint, however, the understanding of transcendence is a phenomenon of transparency, while on the contrary the brutish enjoyment of what is offered to us by virtue of immanence, is obviously a phenomenon of thickening.
There are iridescent silks in which two opposed colours appear alternately on the same surface, depending on the position of the material; this play of colours evokes cosmic ambiguity, namely the mixture of"nearness" and "distance" (we might also say of greatness and smallness) that characterizes the fabric of which the world is made and of which we ourselves are made. This brings us to the question of the subjective attitude of man before the objective ambiguity of the world.
The noble man, and consequently the spiritual man, sees in positive phenomena the substantial greatness and not the accidental smallness, but he is indeed obliged to discern smallness when it is substantial and when, in consequence, it determines the nature of the phenomenon.
The base man, on the contrary, and sometimes the simply worldly man, sees the accidental before the essential and gives himself over to the consideration of the aspects of smallness which enter into the constitution of greatness, but which cannot detract from its greatness in the least degree, except in the eyes of the man who is himself made of smallness.
The two iridescent colours, it goes without saying, can have an exclusively positive meaning: activity and passivity, rigour and gentleness, strength and beauty, and other complementarities.
The universal Veil comprises a play of contrasts and shocks, and also and even more profoundly and more really, a play of harmony and love.

Image: Chakrasamvara and consort Vajravarahi
This powerful depiction of Chakrasamvara embracing his yogini consort Vajravarahi is a highly energized visualization, such as would have been experienced by an advanced tantric master. These are key deities in the Vajrayana system, uniting two of the most powerful ideas in esoteric Buddhism, wisdom, embodied in Vajravarahi, and compassion, the essence of Chakrasamvara. His name, which translates as Circle of Bliss, embodies the powerful union of these two fundamentals tenets of Buddhism.

Krishna. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This article is about the Hindu deity. For other meanings, see Krishna (disambiguation).
Krishna (कृष्ण in Devanagari, kṛṣṇa in IAST ), according to various Hindu traditions, is the eighth avatar of Vishnu. In the Bhagavad Gita (e.g., 10.15 and 15.19), he is seen as the Supreme Person and the highest God. Thus, according to traditions such as Gaudiya Vaishnavism, he is the origin of all other incarnations.
Krishna and the stories associated with him appear across the spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. Though they sometimes differ in details reflecting the concerns of a particular tradition, some core features are shared by all. These include a divine incarnation, a pastoral childhood and youth, and life as a heroic warrior and teacher. The immense popularity of Krishna in India also meant that various non-Hindu religions that originated in India had their own versions of him.
Mystical esoteric meditation retreat in a valley a few meters away from the two colors lake. Mandalasari meditation center is hidden behind the woods and hydrangea bush planted on elevated ground. The place is quiet, silent, chilling cold and only get brief sunlight.
A large mysterious stone is believed as holy object and worshipped by the true believer, right behind the main building.

The esoteric woke cult of the West: Biological sex isn’t real, gender identity is real. The sorcery of grifters: gender is a social construction; race is a social construction. The future: genderless transhumanism. The future: raceless transhumanism. 666: fight oppression, become transhuman. Sustainability (save the planet): take the Mark, take the smartchip. I now identify as transhuman! BTW The trans movement has a lot of money/interests backing it (it didn’t just come about organically)...shocker!

Esoteric cult: we must get rid of what is real in order to implement what is fake.
Virtual reality: we must get rid of what is real (reality) in order to implement what is fake.
Artificial intelligence: we must get rid of what is real (human intelligence) in order to implement what is fake (artificial).
Transhumanism: we must get rid of what is real (what is human) in order to implement what is fake (synthetic).
The spirit of antichrist is on the move through governments, politicians, billionaires, CEOs, celebrities, banks, investment firms, law firms, medical institutions, universities, schools, unions, media outlets, tech giants, non-governmental organizations, and corporations. They are pushing for a boundriless society—an antichrist society. Aleister Crowley: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” As we watch the organs of the Beast system pumping, we can see where it will lead when fully grown. Follow the esoteric science and medicine, take the 666 smartchip jab and become transhuman. It’s a techno-cult. We will all be gods, and we will do as we want—I did it my way! Arrogance: we are gods (you are not a deity; your esoteric enlightenment is a lie). Pride: we will twist the truth and turn it upside down, creating the world in our own image (social justice: “the goal of socialism is communism”). These psychopathic narcissists want to turn the world upside down with their antichrist revolution. Just as communism always ends up with a Stalin or Mao, this neo-techno-communism (antichristism) will end up with the real Antichrist. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
BTW Remember that arrogance and pride are both sins, thus proving the Bible right: men are all sinners. But I guess you communists can riot, burn and loot, as long as it’s for the greater communist good. What a twisted (sinful) form of righteousness: do what is evil for the greater good; evil equals good. Can anyone say: satanic!?! Shocker: satan wants to tear down society, so do his minions—they all want to be at the top of the pyramid. It’s a pyramid scheme folks—it’s all about power (being god)! The bottom feeders/parasites (the enlightened ones) want to flip the pyramid of power upside down, rebuild society, and enlighten us with communism (in their quest of attaining their utopian cult vision of transcending into a perfect being who has gained their perfect paradise). They want to regain their lost garden of eden, their lost godhood! Do you see how these radicals work? They flip the pyramid on race; they flip the pyramid on gender; they flip the pyramid on sex; they flip the pyramid on words (they are always playing word games). Does it seem like the world is becoming more and more upside down? It’s because they are flipping society upside down. This is happening on a worldwide scale, just look at what happened during covid! Then again, just follow and obey the World Health Origination (the United Nations) and their esoteric science. Do you even know what sovereignty (independent/self-government) means? How about freedom? Do you really know what that means? If so, stop bowing down to this esoteric cult! Their motto: Build Back Better (as above, so below). You’ve got it: the supposed enlightened ones are bring their enlightenment (hell/dystopia) to earth!
In the paradise of the Garden of Eden, a crack dealer said: I’m Lucifer, the counterfeit light bearer. You walk in God’s enlightenment, but I can give you greater enlightenment. Will you take a bite of the fruit?
2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness (the antichrist) is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”
2 John 1:7 “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
