<div>I like Satyabhama, Krishna's second wife, I also like Candravali, Radharani's cousin, and I like Her too, Radharani. I like Lalita Devi too. I don't know too much about the gopis in Vrndavana but I do know one thing, all of them are Goddesses of Fortune like Laxmi Devi. Too bad Laxmi Devi wishes to become a gopi but can't. The gopis positions are higher because they are serving Krishna.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/virtualmandir">Parvati's Virtual Mandir</a> - 13 replies </div>

<div>To all you Hindu converts out there, I have a question: <br/> <br/>Why did you choose Hinduism? How did you first become interested?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/virtualmandir">Parvati's Virtual Mandir</a> - 26 replies </div>

<div>Just what exactly is the lucky jewelry a Hindu woman is supposed to wear? I know a mangala sutra is an auspicious necklace worn by married women, but is there anything else that is supposed to be worn that is auspicious? What about nose rings? Are they supposed to be worn all the time? What about covering one's head? It seems that hardly anyone does this from what I have seen in America. What exactly is the "lucky jewelry" a woman is supposed to wear?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/virtualmandir">Parvati's Virtual Mandir</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Are we allowed to wear jewelry that is maha prashada, that came off of the Deity? For example, sometimes if one is very blessed she might get some jewelry that belonged to Srimati Radharani, and somehow she acquired it. Are we allowed to wear it? I know in Vrndavana the gopis get jewelry from Radharani sometimes or possibly even some manjaris. And there are certain Deities that are very large that have jewelry that is sold or distributed at times in order to make new jewelry available for Her. There are also the large Deities in Mayapura of the gopis as well. <br/>If we get some maha prashada like this are we allowed to wear it? Or do we just have to place it on an altar? Does anybody know? Is anyone out there? I guess I will have to take my chances over at Radha Tribe and see if they can answer anything over there. Where is brinda? Where is anyone?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/virtualmandir">Parvati's Virtual Mandir</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>In the Bhagavatam it is described how the gopis worshipped the Goddess Katyayani in order to get Lord Krishna as their husband. It was a custom of the people at the time. Otherwise they had no real interest in worshipping the Goddess. <br/>Srimati Radharani, Lord Krishna's consort, spoke to a bumblebee out of the madness of separation but devotees do not try to follow in her footsteps by talking to bumblebees out of madness or out of love. <br/>Radharani also visited the temple of the Sun God on Sundays, which was a family tradition. But again, she used that visit as an opportunity to see Krishna, who would sometimes devise means to get to see her at that time. <br/>So demigods or bees, both can be used equally in order to gain Krishna's association. But demigods seem to work better.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/virtualmandir">Parvati's Virtual Mandir</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Aapka swaagat hai (welcome) to the Virtual Mandir! I know we have enough Hinduism tribes here, but I wanted to make one where we can talk about everything under the sun about Hinduism rather than just one God or Goddess or topic. Anyway, glad to have you all here! <br/> <br/>Namaste, <br/>Parvati</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/virtualmandir">Parvati's Virtual Mandir</a> - 6 replies </div>
