I love Radharani okay but I don't need to feel bad or wrong for feeling more connected to Lakshmi Maa. And you can have your beliefs but why go around changing stories, twisting narrative and showing the ashtabharayas as inferior or materialistic?

Krishna loves Devi Rukmini as much as Radharani and all his wives, what do you not understand?!! Gaudiya vaishnavism has glorified only the workship of Radhakrishna and it overshadowed pretty much everything else.

And I am always a bit sad and petty about what could have been, we could have had so many temples dedicated to the ashtabharayas and more stories and poetries for them, have them being known in mainstream culture but we don't and that disappoints me to no end! Heck most people don't even know who Devi Rukmini and ashtabharayas are and it saddens me, they deserves so much better!

Also some of my recommendations: ArDi, arjunxoc, retellings, re-imagined!

1. Hello Mahabharata - a time travel fic but very, very, real to read! It touches everything and still makes it something very dreamy like. As if you’re living the protagonist’s life.

2. Never Without You - a retelling sort, very tender. I love the portrayal of both Arjun and Draupadi there, with all the emotions and their feelings, very much a young couple in love for the first time!

3. The Descent, it’s sequel- Flouting Our Destiny - All the ‘what if’s of Ardi poured into a single book. Love, love the plot! Although it’s on a hiatus (not sure) so it’s still ongoing.

4. Nothing Conventional About Us - A pretty interesting take on the story and the blend of greek mythology into it is just chef’s kiss! And handles pretty mature stuff, not the usual portrayal of our Gods yet still a very interesting read!

There are places where time does not rush forward but lingers—quietly, patiently—waiting for you to notice it. Old lanes are such places. Narrow, uneven, and often overlooked, they carry the weight of centuries in their stones. When you walk through them, you don’t feel like a traveler passing through space; you feel like a visitor crossing moments. In forgotten cities, these lanes curve away…
