||AT: VasuDEVaki: epitome of patience and sacrifice ||

N A M A S K A A R !

Welcome to the appreciation thread dedicated in honoring the birth parents of Lord Krishna, who sacrificed everything in their lives to bring forth the Lord who would rid the world of the curse that was King Kamsa. Everyone knows about Krishna, the naughty and adorable butter thief who spread love and joy everywhere he went. But how many truly know about the two individuals who brought him into the world, who suffered the most horrific trauma no parents could ever think of imagining? How many truly know about Vasudev and Devaki?

Vasudeva was a prince of the Yadava clan Vrishni, the son of Shurasena and the naga princess Mareesha. He was the biological brother of Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas in Mahabharata. Vasudeva was clever, strategic and fought for peace among the Yadavas. Lord Vishnu chose him as his biological father, for he was righteous, truthful, peace-loving and had the mental stability to withhold the difficult tests God would later put him through.

Devaki was a princess of the Yadava clan Andhaka, the daughter of Prince Devaka, who was the brother of King Ugrasena of Mathura. She was the cousin sister of Prince Kamsa, who was the adopted son of Ugrasena. Devaki was shy in nature, but her righteousness and resilience were what caused the Lord to choose her as his biological mother.

The Yadava factions were constantly at odds with one another. In order to create peace and unite all the factions, the marriage of Devaki and Vasudev was fixed by the elders.

Everyone knows about the story that follows, but one thing important to remember is that these two characters teach us what it truly means to be 'strong'. These characters teach us that no matter how many trials and tribulations life throws at us, it is still possible to come out stronger than ever, when one's mind is fixed on God and we surrender at His feet. These characters teach us what it truly means to be devotional, to love and support one another in both good times and bad, and to never lose faith in establishing righteousness over unrighteousness.

Join us in honoring these characters and reliving the happy and tragic incidents in their life, as they give birth to their children, lose them, and get united with them again in the end. Let's laugh and cry along with them, and learn what it means to truly love and support one another during life's trials and tribulations.

RULES:

Appreciation threads are to be used to praise and appreciate particular favorite actor/actress/characters. All discussions related to actor's/actress performance, looks, style and personality can be confined to ATs.

Any negative(bashing/filthy language) comments/opinion on other characters/actors or on story line that are not relevant to the thread's topic, scene or actor/characters scene with other characters should NOT be discussed here. Members can discuss relevant scene where other characters are involved but no speculation or hint about non-existent couple/love angle! We are forced to implement this restriction because many members asked for a place where they can discuss about their favorites while being free of the negativity towards them that they might encounter elsewhere in the main forum. Main purpose is bond here with other members who likes the same thing, while being free of negativity towards what they likes.

Chatting -Members seem to be more into chatting so please reduce the personal chatting because we do have a chat club for that purpose so keep that in mind. However, we do allow minimum chatting in ATs, provided it is related to this AT alone. Additionally Do not spam with just emotions/numbers to increase post count/pages. Do not quote long quotes. You can quote three posts maximum and they should be small.

ATs are open for everyone, however, do not invade the AT with the purpose to rile up the fans or instigate them. Everyone has their right to voice out their opinions and should NOT be judged/generalized based on their likes/dislikes. If any of your fellow members/friends fails to follow the rules, kindly ask them to edit out or tell them its wrong rather than joining them and aggravate the issues further and equally responsible for carrying forward an unfavorable situation. Hence be responsible and take responsibility because that way you may prevent action taken against your AT thread!

ATs/discussions threads can NOT be used to target other members and NO pinpointing activity/mock or taking digs here toward other fan groups.Any derogatory references or name callings against actors /characters/members/Dev team members are strictly PROHIBITED here.

Report - If you see anyone breaching the rules in any of the threads in the main forum, you will not come here and rant it out about it and snowball the issue further! Instead make use of the "REPORT" button and report the thread by stating the reason clearly. As soon as the Dev Team comes online they would take the necessary action.

We can assure you guys that we only takes action where it's legit reason. However, here is a little catch for the stalkers who just want to report in order to get the AT closed down - If you report any post/comments that has no legit reason, you will be reliable for action against you for stalking.

Penalties: If the DT sees more than 3 people breaking the AT rules constantly for a week, the effects of violations will kick start, which go as follows:

First Violation - Warning Note

2nd - Another Warning Note

3rd - Another Warning Note

4th - Close the AT for 24 hrs (1 Day)

5th - Close AT for 72 hrs (3 Days)

6th - Close AT for 1 week (7 Days)

7th - Get rid of AT completely from the Shree Krishna Forum/Shift it to Celebrity Fan Club Forum!

The rules are applicable for multiple violation and not single post as it will be dealt individually! Having said that, please do not assume that every report submitted by opposite fan group will be entertained. We will go through the reports and only if we find the report valid based on above rules, then we will speak to the Admins of the AT and action will be taken accordingly as stated above.

I think those days open hairs wasn't a trend. To give look and feel of Dwapar Yug

Yes, she was pretty with open hair, but like FlauntPessimism said, back then open hair was considered inauspicious. It was a sign of widowhood (thus why Draupadi's open hair after vastra haran was so significant to portray her displeasure with the Kurus). Ramanand Sagar was very attentive to the customs of that time period, hence why Sita and Devaki were never shown with open hair, even during vanvaas/imprisonment. 😉

Also, why were their hair greyed up so much? VasuDevaki I get it since they were under stress, what happened to Nand-Yashoda?
