Self-Immolation

2021-08-19 00:23:24 "O consort of Lord Vishnu, O internal energy of Lord Vishnu, you are as good as Lord Vishnu Himself, for you have all of His qualities and opulences. O goddess of opulence, please be kind to me. O mother of the entire world, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 6.19.6) Open / Comment

2021-08-12 18:01:49 I call Diónysos the loud-roarer! Who wails in revel!

First-Born, two-natured, thrice-born, Vakkhic king,

Wild, inscrutable, cryptic, two-horned, two-shaped,

Bedecked in ivy, bull-faced, war-like, howling, holy,

Divine victim, feasted every other year, adorned with grapes, bedecked in foliage.

Evvouléfs, counselor, Zefs and Kóri bore you...

on a secret bed, immortal Daimôn;

Listen happy one to my voice, sweet and gentle divine inspiration,

Having a kindly heart, with the aid of your chaste nurses! Open / Comment
