|| The Oldest Temple in Kashmir ||
Established atop the Gopādri Hill mentioned in Kalhaṇa’s Rājataraṅgiṇī, this temple was originally known as the Jyeṣṭheśvara Mandira. It was founded in the fourth century by King Gopāditya.
In the 7th century, Śrī Śaṅkarācārya visited this temple, and from that time onward it came to be known as the Śrī Śaṅkarācārya Mandira.
It was inside the cave of this temple that Ādi Śaṅkarācārya performed his sādhanā and composed his celebrated work, the Saundarya Laharī.

@6amiji's Mahabharata Unravelled 1 & 2 are important works for the young readers of our generations— most of whom only came across the epic via films/TV soap operas. She challenged many of the narratives. It's disappointing to see that our own people are slinging mud at her.
OP: No Love marriages in the past in any age, only Brahma Vivaha
My response: Examples of love marriages in the past
Rabi Guruji's response ⬇️ : Women is sending you to hell (gets rted by some interesting handles too)
Yes, Please listen to Guruji ..why wait to go to hell. 🙌🙌
@6amiji Well @6amiji ji, I have a whole book coming on the subject. Titled as Tales from Mahābhārata, it a collection of fifty love stories from the epic, all titled after their female protagonists.
If I'm thrown into hell, I'd ask our guruji to go through the text on my X handle cover!

"Too often, academic study treats paramparā as an object rather than a participant. Conversely, traditional circles sometimes view academic inquiry as inherently corrosive. This false dichotomy has done lasting damage."

The people of Bhadrācalam worship this iconography in their temples. So, our iconographies not only carry mere figures, they also embody the history of our civilization and the lineages that keep its flames burning!
Greetings of the Rāma Navamī!

Back in 2024, I was in Bhadrācalam to attend a conference on bhakti, organized by @IndicaOrg. They gifted me this beautiful idol which carries an interesting history behind it.
Bhadrācalam is the place where Śrī Rāma and Sītā had spent their initial exile days.

Though in forest-dwelling exile, you may call it the "honeymoon" phase of their conjugal life.
The iconography portrays goddess Sītā sitting on the lap of Śrī Rāma, accompanied by Lakṣmaṇa. But there is no Hanumāna (for they had not yet met back then).

My upcoming book, Tales from Mahābhārata, a collection of fifty love stories titled after the female protagonists, caters before you many such snippets from the microhistory in the background of the love stories.

This is the popular tourist hill station called #MountAbu. But did you know that its name is derived from Sanskrit? The original name of the mountain land is Arbuda (अर्बुद). The Sanskrit word "arbuda" can mean two things: (a) "inflated" or "tumorous" as the mountains look [1/7]
During his exile, he travelled from Hastināpura to Dvārakā via the Arbudāraṇya. There in Dvārakā, he was married to Subhadrā who was sister to Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma.
