  1. ("Inside baseball" vignettes about Jewish mourning incoming, you may not understand everything if it's not in your background…)
    I sat #shiva for the first three days (incl. the day of the funeral) down in Maryland at my sister's house, since my mom lived near her and my dad still does. On my last night in MD we sat shiva for an hour with my dad at his assisted living facility so they people he knows there could visit. LOTS of people came.

  5. 🫟 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 🫟

    Hay historias que se mueven entre la devoción y lo difícil de creer, y esta es una de ellas.

    Dulal Giri Ji Maharaj es presentado en distintos reportajes como un asceta hindú que habría asumido una penitencia extrema: permanecer de pie durante años como ofrenda espiritual a Shiva.
    Según esos relatos, incluso el descanso lo haría sin sentarse ni tumbarse, apoyándose en estructuras de madera y cuerdas para poder soportar el paso del tiempo.

    La práctica que se menciona dentro de este tipo de renuncia se asocia a formas de tapasya, una disciplina ascética del hinduismo donde el cuerpo se somete a privaciones intensas con un objetivo espiritual.
    No es algo pensado para “aguantar más”, sino para reducir al mínimo las necesidades físicas y centrar la vida en la búsqueda de lo divino.

    En su caso, se describe una rutina en la que el cuerpo no encuentra descanso real.
    Cuando el agotamiento aprieta, solo puede apoyarse parcialmente en una especie de columpio o sistema de sujeción, sin romper el voto de permanecer erguido.

    Las consecuencias físicas que se relatan son duras: inflamación en las piernas, cambios en la piel y problemas derivados de la circulación mantenida en una misma posición durante largos periodos.
    Personas de su entorno habrían intervenido en ocasiones para cuidar heridas y evitar infecciones, algo que en este tipo de prácticas se convierte en parte del día a día.

    Ahora bien, es importante entender algo: este tipo de historias circulan mucho en medios y redes, pero los detalles concretos no siempre están bien documentados o verificados de forma independiente.
    Lo que sí existe de manera más amplia es la tradición de ascetas hindúes que realizan votos físicos extremos como parte de su fe, especialmente dentro de corrientes asociadas a Shiva.

    No se trata de un “récord humano” ni de una hazaña física en sentido moderno.
    Dentro de esa lógica, el sufrimiento no es el objetivo, sino una forma de disciplina espiritual y entrega absoluta.

    Para quien lo vive, no es una prueba para el mundo.
    Es un pacto íntimo con su creencia.
    Y desde fuera, queda esa mezcla incómoda de respeto, duda y desconcierto.

  19. Shiva and Devi transcend duality in this exquisite artwork, embodying the delicate balance of opposites. As they float on the hide of Gajasura, their connection invites contemplation on love and unity amid chaos. What stories do their gazes tell?
