#mathura

Got super late so couldn't go to vrindavan buttttttt went to janmabhoomi mandir and girraj maharaj mandir - and the climbing up the govardhan parvat was insane 💀 imagine slippery rocks and small ones too + monkeys and just UP local men climbing up and down laughing while you're hoping you don't slip and crack open your head , but i climbed up first and also came down first hehe:))

The last pic's background is not a white wall it was so freaking foggy the whole background came out white in all other pictures as well which is why it looks like a solid white wall

And the pujari there then told the whole story of how maharaj girraj comes here to rest at night and more stuff

Spoiler alert: came home and bawled my eyes out because i miss it and radha krishna of janmabhoomi mandir were just so beautiful i couldn't take my eyes off of them AND got unki chadhi hui mala so that was really really amazing 🩷🩷

Land was given to the Muslims too for the Babri mosque when the order was issued for the Shri Rama temple to be rebuilt in Ayodhya. That's justice. Give us back our Mathura and Kashi, and let us see what other temples have long been buried. If you don't condone the acts of the islamic invaders then why stand by the monuments of their atrocities?

And YOU tell us, does time passing by somehow render our feelings numb or invaluable? It's neither an apology nor an excuse. You are not allowed to disrespect us in any manner. Our identity shall stick to us. You cannot seize it away.

characters mentioned : lilia vanrouge, mathura, siphok, suchol COMIC UNDER THE CUT!

ᯓ★ SOME TRIVIA FOR OUR EX-GENERAL !

Oough I didn’t want to make the comic too long so I didn’t make Lilia explain how he met Mathura. They met when Lilia traveling all over the world, and his status as general had him the honor of meeting Mathura. Why did they do when they met? They drank, sung, partied, and got drunk💀

According to the news reports at the time, it was said that Mathura had sided with the enemy last-minute during a war. Not many details were explained, which made things suspicious, but at that time everyone believed Mathura was a traitor and he got exiled real fast.

Turns out, Anan’s father (or the current king) was corrupted and power hungry. He had been ordering Mathura to conquer the kingdoms nearby using methods Mathura didn’t agree with (which were annihilating those kingdoms who they considered their alliance). When Mathura realized his brother was no longer sensible, he fought with him but ultimately lost- resulting in him being throw away to the deep seas with a nasty scar across his chest.

Mathura lost his kindness after that, and became a grumpy old man we know today!

Anyway, Mathura was named “The Gentle General” because he was merciful to both his enemies and subordinates. He’s usually seen in the med bay, comforting his wounded comrades. They said his touch reminded them of their mother, so they’d call him that when they were delirious from their wounds sometimes.

ᯓ★ OVERALL TRIVIA!

The reason why Suchol dislikes nagas is because he was chased by one of them once😞 It scarred him so much so that it bled into his dislikes of overall snakes and eels of the like. Suchol was chased for a good 3 hours before he made it out of the water using his unique magic. That’s why you don’t go to the deep sea, boy😭

Thought I should say this so the naga that Suchol was chased by isn’t Nham (Mathura’s pet)!

Mathura lost his rose in the battle he fought with his brother, and has been forever agitated with this fact. To replicate the feeling, he forged an earring in the shape of a rose with the young yaksha in mind. It’s considered his emotional support object when he has nightmares.

असली होली तो राम नाम की होली खेलना है अर्थात परमात्मा के नाम का हर स्वांस में जाप करना है। कबीर परमात्मा कहते हैं किः

स्वांस उसवांस में नाम जपो, व्यर्था स्वांस मत खोये। न जाने इस स्वांस का, आवन होक ना हो।।
