Origem da pena de pavão de Krishna
Sanatana Goswami, comentando o verso do Bhag.10.21.10,diz que Krsna tocou mrdu-mandra em sua flauta. Mrdu significa doçura e mandra é o som produzido pelo trovão. O pavão tem por natureza dançar enlouquecido assim que vê o céu ficar escuro e trovoar. Vendo o esplendor natural de Giriraja Govardhana, Ele tocou Sua flauta suavemente. Ao ouvirem essa vibração profunda, os pavões ficaram loucos, dançando no ritmo da flauta com o leque de suas caudas completamente aberto. Todos os animais , aves e insetos de Vrndavana se reuniram para ver a cena.
Os pavões pensam: "Ele está tocando uma melodia maravilhosa e ao dançarmos com ela, sentimos grande ananda, mas nada temos para oferecer-Lhe em troca". Um desses pavões pensou: " Não tenho nada de valor para Lhe dar. Sou apenas uma ave, mas as penas da minha cauda são valiosas! Elas são tão atrativas com as sua cores, então porque não oferecer-Lhe uma delas?".
Desta maneira, o pavão deixou cair uma de suas penas.
Ao vê-la Krsna pensou: " Esse pavão é muito amável; apreciou a Minha apresentação tocando flauta e Me ofereceu uma de suas penas".
Krsna pegou a pena do chão e colocou em sua cabeça, pensando: "Assim com o a flauta Me é muito querida, agora essa será Minha pena de estimação. Para onde for em Vraja, nunca abandonarei a flauta ou essa pena de pavão".

Boy and girl birds, look almost the same. That is, there is no sexual-dimorphism.
Adult bird, head completely bald; Throat, featherless. Throat color, yellow; There is redness in the face.
Juvenile birds have some feathers on the head and neck, but are conspicuously bald. Throat color, whitish. And there is no redness on the face.
Madan, the name of the god of love in Sanatan Dharma. It is said that when all the other gods, fearing an angry Shiva, did not go before him, Madanadeva, in a simple mind, went before him, to pacify Shiva, and, consumed by the fire of Shiva's eyes (panchasara), was reduced to ashes. Perhaps, due to this incident, fools or simple minded people came to be called madans.
Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir, Ealing Road, Alperton. North West London. Shame that photography is not allowed inside. It's well worth going to have a look.
Excerpt from www.hindustantimes.com/htcity/trips-tours/north-america-s...:
In a vibrant celebration of faith, a 51-foot statue of Lord Ram was inaugurated at the Hindu Heritage Centre in Mississauga. Here's what the internet had to say
In a historic moment for the Indian diaspora in Canada, the tallest statue of Lord Ram in North America was unveiled on Sunday at the Hindu Heritage Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Towering at an impressive 51 feet (excluding the pedestal and umbrella), the fibreglass idol now stands as a spiritual and cultural landmark in the Greater Toronto Area.
The unveiling of North America’s tallest Lord Ram statue in Mississauga sparked emotional reactions across social media. “From Ayodhya to Ontario, the name of Shri Ram echoes louder than borders. This is not just a statue, it's a statement of faith and identity standing tall across the world,” wrote one user. Another noted, “Toronto, Canada: The tallest Murti of Bhagwan Shri Ram now stands tall in Mississauga — a proud moment for the global Hindu community. In a land where Hindus have faced rising hostility from fringe Khalistani elements, this Murti is more than a symbol of faith — it’s a statement of resilience, peace, and presence. Sanatan stands tall.” Others chimed in with messages like, “Let’s make Canada great again,” and, “Grand and beautiful.”
Constructed in Delhi and assembled by skilled craftsmen in Canada, the statue draws inspiration from the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya. Built with a steel superstructure and designed to last at least 100 years, the idol is engineered to endure wind speeds of up to 200 km/hr—symbolising not just devotion, but durability.
“This is a spiritual gift to the community,” said Acharya Surinder Sharma Shastri, founder of the Hindu Heritage Centre. “The installation of this murti is not just a moment of pride, but also a reminder that righteousness must always be the guiding factor in our lives.”
The monumental project began four years ago and was made possible by a generous donation from an Indo-Canadian business leader. For Kushagr Sharma, principal organiser of the event, the turnout was deeply moving. “To witness over 10,000 people come together in devotion and unity for the unveiling of Shri Ram’s 51-foot-tall murti was truly remarkable. This event was not just a celebration of our faith, but a proud moment for all Canadians who value cultural harmony and spiritual heritage.”
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rama:
Rama is a major deity in Hinduism. He is worshipped as the seventh and one of the most popular avatars of Vishnu. In Rama-centric Hindu traditions, he is considered the Supreme Being. Also considered as the ideal man (maryāda puruṣottama), Rama is the male protagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana. His birth is celebrated every year on Rama Navami, which falls on the ninth day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the lunar cycle of Chaitra (March–April), the first month in the Hindu calendar.

história da pena de pavão de Krishna
Comentando o verso 10.21.10, do Bhâgavata Purâna, Sanatana Goswami diz que Krsna tocou mrdu-mandra em sua flauta.
Mrdu significa doçura e mandra é o som produzido pelo trovão.
O pavão tem por natureza dançar enlouquecido assim que vê o céu ficar escuro e trovoar.
Vendo o esplendor natural de Giriraja Govardhana, Ele tocou Sua flauta suavemente.
Ao ouvirem essa vibração profunda, os pavões ficaram loucos, dançando no ritmo da flauta com o leque de suas caudas completamente aberto. Todos os animais, aves e insetos de Vrndavana se reuniram para ver a cena.
Os pavões pensam: "Ele está tocando uma melodia maravilhosa e ao dançarmos com ela, sentimos granda ananda, mas nada temos para oferecer-Lhe em troca". Um desses pavões pensou: " Não tenho nada de valor para Lhe dar. Sou apenas uma ave, mas as penas da minha cauda são valiosas! Elas são tão atrativas com as sua cores, então porque não oferecer-Lhe uma delas?".
Desta maneira, o pavão deixou cair uma de suas penas.
Ao vê-la Krsna pensou: " Esse pavão é muito amável; apreciou a Minha apresentação tocando flauta e Me ofereceu uma de suas penas".

Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir, Ealing Road, Alperton. North West London. Shame that photography is not allowed inside. It's well worth going to have a look.
The photo was taken in a evening of "Sarassati Puja" (Sarassati is the GOD of education in religion of "Hindu" or "Sanatan")
A little girl was watching there GOD so attentivly in a "Mandir"(The place of prayer)
I was just behind her, and imaginatively can seeing the conversation between Her and her GOD. I cant really explain the matter but my photo can Do ;-)
In Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism), the deep saffron color is associated with sacrifice, religious abstinence, quest for light and salvation. Saffron or bhagwa is the most sacred color for the Hindus and is often worn by sanyasis who have left their home in search of the ultimate truth.

Gauri Lankesh was born in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, on 29 January 1962, daughter of the well-known writer and journalist P. Lankesh, founder of the Kannada weekly Lankesh Patrike. She grew up in a strongly secular and progressive intellectual environment shaped by literature, political debate and independent journalism. She studied journalism and began working as a reporter for national publications, including The Times of India, before returning to Bengaluru to collaborate with her father’s newspaper. After P. Lankesh’s death in 2000, she took over editorial responsibilities and later founded her own weekly, Gauri Lankesh Patrike, maintaining an independent, secular editorial line openly critical of Hindu nationalist politics and sectarian extremism. She was not only a journalist but a public intellectual engaged in civic life: she defended the Indian Constitution, minority rights, and the rights of marginalized communities; she supported dialogue aimed at social reintegration of insurgent groups; and she consistently exposed hate campaigns, disinformation networks and radicalization. She was known for her explicit criticism of the ideology of Hindutva and for publicly challenging organizations and individuals associated with extremist nationalist movements. In 2016 she was convicted of defamation in a case brought by political figures aligned with nationalist parties, but the sentence was suspended pending appeal. For years she had received threats. On the evening of 5 September 2017, while returning to her home in Bengaluru, she was shot multiple times at close range by assailants on a motorcycle. She died at the scene. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of several suspects connected to an extremist network linked to Hindutva ideology; individuals associated with groups such as Sanatan Sanstha and related circles emerged in the investigation. Authorities also examined links between her assassination and the killings of other Indian rationalists and secular intellectuals, including Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and M.M. Kalburgi. Her murder became emblematic of the growing risks faced by independent journalists and critical thinkers in India. Gauri Lankesh represented an autonomous, secular, outspoken female voice rooted in India’s democratic tradition yet in direct confrontation with sectarian and authoritarian tendencies. Her assassination was not an isolated act but a targeted attack against a journalist who used her work as an instrument of public accountability and political scrutiny. I publish this series to remember that freedom, dignity and justice are never gifts but achievements paid for by real human lives. Behind every right there are names, faces and broken histories. I publish these works to oppose the normalization of political violence and propaganda, to speak to younger generations, and to affirm that silence always serves unchecked power. This is not passive commemoration; it is active memory, a conscious choice, a form of resistance.
This looks like a holiday snap from India but it's actually a hindu temple in north London that I stumbled across last night. I managed to have a quick look around before it closed and the inside is very impressive although no photography allowed so you'll just have to take my word for it :-) While I was photographing it from the street, some guy told me there was another (even more impressive) temple in Neasden which I'll have to check out some time soon.
