The Hindu God Of Transgenders | Origin Of Transgender In Hinduism It is widely believed in the Southern India that transgender community originated from a small character in the Mahabharata named Iravan, often also referred as Aravan. Aravan was the child of Arjun and Ulupi, the widowed Naga princess. According to the Tamil version of Mahabharata, before the beginning of the Kurukshetra war a sacrificial rite named Kalappali was performed. Aravan sacrificed himself in the war and was granted three boons by Lord Krishna, which ended up with Lord Krishna marrying him. Krishna as Mohini married Aravan, spending the night with him. It is from Aravan’s lineage after his association with Krishna’s female form that the transgenders are said to have been born. And that is why, trans-genders or Kinnars are also called Aravanis in Tamil. That is why in certain parts of Southern India there is 18-day Aravani festival which is mostly held by the trans-gender community. The Aravanis (Trans-genders) are married to Aravan as his bride and when the sacrifice of Aravan is enacted, the Aravanis become the widow of Aravan and mourn his death by breaking their bangles, beating their chest and discarding their bridal jewelry.

Krishna Explains Kaliyuga To Pandavas As per Shrimad Bhagavad on the ninth day of the Mahabharata war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, the third yuga which is the Dwapar Yuga had ended and the last yuga which is the Kali yuga had begun. However, because of the power of lord Krishna, Kali could not spread throughout the earth and was restricted to the battlefields and war grounds. Although the full effect of Kali yuga, started after the demise of Shri Krishna, Krishna knew very well what would Kali Yuga bring along. As per the Uddhava Gita and Shrimad Bhagavatam, Once the four Pandavas Arjuna, Bheema, Nakul and Sahadeva asked Krishna, What is Kali Yuga? ". Krishna smiled and said "Let me demonstrate to you, the situation of Kaliyuga." He took a bow and four arrows and shot them in four directions and ordered the four Pandavas to go and bring them back. Each of the four Pandavas went in the four different directions to search for the arrows. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the 20th century, with the rise of women rights, feminists came to view Kali as the as embodiment of feminine power.

Why did Goddess Ganga drown her seven children in the Mahabharata? King Shantanu once fell in love with Goddess Ganga, who agreed to marry him on one condition: he must never question her actions. After their marriage, Ganga gave birth to seven sons, but each time, she drowned the newborn in the river. Heartbroken, Shantanu remained silent until the birth of their eighth child. The reason lay in a curse from their previous birth. The seven children were the eight Vasus, divine beings who had been cursed by Sage Vashistha to be born as humans. Ganga had promised to free them from the curse by drowning them immediately after birth. However, the eighth Vasu was destined to live a long human life. When Shantanu finally stopped Ganga from drowning the eighth child, she revealed the truth and left with the baby. She named him Devavrata, who later became the legendary warrior Bhishma Pitamah, one of the greatest figures in the Mahabharata. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
