"Those who are devoted and have love for Me, in their constant contemplation of Me, their lives intertwined with Mine, they illuminate each other with their knowledge of Me, and their conversations are filled with the joy and contentment they find in Me." ~Bhagavad Gita 10.9

radhe radhe! i think memes is a great idea!! defo for me having memes was an amazing way to connect, it made dharma feel lighter and less seriousss yk. also its just funny 😂 and for me i really connect to things through humour.
i think comics are a great idea too, I grew up reading amar chitra katha, watching cartoons like krishna,, I think they're a nice way to engage children or form a part of ppls childhoods.
personally I think sm of these things comes from one's own inner callings or interests. but what defo helped me connect the strongest was having a community like gopiblr where we could explore dharma or krishna together in a way that's super relatable for young people, and a safe space to explore hot takes outside what the elders teach us haha. I think applying tiktoks reels etc. to kanhu (like I and others have done 😅) is again a way to make young ppl see kanhu in a diff light to just someone their elders make a fuss about. other ones are fanfics and modern AUs, which defo makes things a lot more interactive haha.
omg what a coincidence this post encompasses a lot of diff things I wanted to talk abt anyway, but I also found this the other day!!!:
as someone who's loved anime (really just naruto tbh 😅) I just thought it was a really super cool way to present durga devi's story ahaha, and another medium that might reach young people. devi mata is so badass pls watch!!! (also in a similar fashion there's that post going around abt making a Disney movie abt durge! which they have to be really careful to do well, but if they do could be epic af.)
I think one thing very important is to not get too preachy. this is why I think the best ways involve communities, because they make space for exploration and for people of all opinions or relationships with the object/s of interest (in this case with the divine), and also a feeling that you're not 'alone' or 'weird' in your interests. it's a space to connect with similar people going through similar things as you, and you may even see your thoughts being voiced aloud by others which reallyyy makes u feel less alone.
tldr; it is finding ways in which people of the modern day connect to things, and try to replicate the same dharmically, and creating a community surrounding it where these things can be shared and consumed.
e.g. music: u can experiment with genres and apply this to bhajans as well e.g. bhajan lofis which are so good omg.
so yeah, this is my humble opinion. radhe radhe!! 💙✨️🦚
Gopis and gopas, a question Krishna made me think about -
If he says that it's our duty to spread the knowledge and gyana of our dharma to today's generation and present to them in a way that they find cool and interesting, how would you approach it ?
You can think of ways that you think we can do it and let me know :D
Some ways I thought of :
1. Creating cute comics of stories and scenarios of the stotras and present to them as a story, for example taking a bhagavat Gita line and turning it to a story in a way they understand
2. Creating a trend that knowing these stuff is the real cool thing instead of so much of other materialistic stuff

Good morning. Wake up to happiness. Be a healer, awaken out of depths of despair, overcome the challenges, shine forth with brightness, offer inspiration to others to heal themselves. Happy Thursday. Stay safe. God bless us.
this is so beautiful! shri krishna says that the true yogi or realised one is who is steady across all opposing conditions and emotions. and He is the param yogi, yogeshwar. He is also sat-chit-ananda. I had not connected that steadiness to this bliss:)
❝there is only one meaningful word in life, and that is bliss. Happiness and unhappiness are not meaningful; they have been created by dividing bliss into two. The part that is in accord with you, that you accept, is called happiness, and the part that is discordant to you, that you deny, is called unhappiness.❞
❝They are our interpretations of bliss, divided - and as long as it agrees with you it is happiness and when it begins to disagree with you it is called unhappiness.❞
Bliss is truth, the whole truth.
❝It is significant that the word bliss, is anand in Sanskrit, is without an opposite. Happiness has its opposite in unhappiness, love has its opposite in hate, heaven in hell, but bliss has no such opposite. It is so because there is no state opposed to bliss. If there is any such state, it is that of happiness and of misery both. Similarly, the Sanskrit word moksha, which means freedom or liberation, has no opposite. Moksha is the state of bliss. Moksha means that happiness and misery are equally acceptable.❞
