Q: What did Kashyapa do with the earth after he received it from Parashurama?

Keshav SrinivasanParashurama is a famous avataram (incarnation) of Vishnu who destroyed the Kshatriyas (kings) of the world twenty-one times. Since he had defeated all the rulers of the world, he obtained control of the entire earth. But I'm interested in what happened to the earth afterward. The immediate aft...

Q: What is the significance of Pradhosham?

DineshkumarIn Shiva temples, special poojas are performed during Pradhosham. What is the reason behind observing Pradhosham? Are there any specific requirements that ought to be observed during Pradhosham?

I feel sorry for this dude..

A: What is the significance of the right hand?

tpb261I don't think there's any specific reason behind it. It's just that most people are right handed, so it becomes the norm. Just like scissors.

 
Everyone was so interactive at start
Now not much stay online

I'm good @TheDictator, going through Mundak Upanishad essays
Yenã’ksharam Purusham veda satyam provãcha tãm tattvato brahmavidyãm (Mundaka Upanishad: 1/2/13)
 
5:40 AM
Sitting in office and planing to kill of my colleagues :P

hehehheheh.......
Or i can do something like wrong turn.
 
eww.. I hate wrong turn movies
I am feeling bad because I watched all those parts :(

A: Why did Lord Hanuman decide to spend his life as a bachelor?

mjoshNo, Hanuman was technically not a bachelor (Brahmachari). His wife was Suvarchala, who was the daughter of Surya (the Sun god). According to Surya, Suvarchala was an ayonija (born without [the participation] of the yoni). Because he wanted to learn Nava Vyakarnas (the 9 Grammar Rules), he has t...

^ Is this answer understandeable to anyone.. if so, please explain
 
@AksharRoop I like how sanskrit sandhi works, Mundak Upanishad becomes Mundakopanishad.
 
@AnkitSharma watch Red dragon.. Hannibal movie but really good.
 
5:47 AM
@Mr_Green what is not clear?

Q: What is the significance of pouring milk on the Shivling?

hims056I have seen people pouring milk on the Shivling. Image taken from shivmandirsarthali.com

Q: Does Hinduism prohibit mingling of males and females?

gpuguyMany of the societies have strict restriction on free mixing of opposite genders. Does Hinduism also impose such restriction? What if this mixing is online and not in physical world? If yes please provide reference.

0
Q: How were the rules for Devalaya Vastu forged?

amarThere are very few references as to how the rules for devalaya vastu were written. Any insights on who the original authors were, how and why they wrote the very specific rules that govern the construction of Hindu temples would be great.

 
wait reading again..
 
@Mr_Green basically, Hanuman and Surya found a way to maintain Hanuman's celebacy and yet him getting married for him to study (9 grammar)
 
@Mr_Green Hannibal is not my cup of tea ...even wrong turn is disappointing to me storywise. I like Swa and hostel( 1&2) more
 
@StackExchange what kind of idiotic question is this?
 
5:49 AM
I like Saw.. never seen hostel
I don't understand this part: According to Surya, Suvarchala was an ayonija (born without [the participation] of the yoni).
 
@Mr_Green hostel is like saw+sex
 
sussex?
hehe
bad joke
 
@Mr_Green ayonija = a (not) + yoni (vagina) + ja (born out of)
 
ok
thanks
 
@Mr_Green yes it was. :P people of sussex won't be happy.
 
5:52 AM
@Mr_Green surya's wife can't sustain his bright light , so vishvakarma extracted this and this light becomes a girl.
 
downvoting this question to hell

@AnkitSharma i hear a dirty joke in that.. :D
 
@VineetMenon i think answer to this question is already covered in my third gender question
@VineetMenon what joke?
 
@AnkitSharma once again read the vishwakarma post... you 'll get it possibly..

Q: Why do saints used to do Yagna

Mr_GreenWe have seen in many epic stories, Saints/sages always do yagnas. What is the reason behind it? I am assuming there might be a universal reason such as "for the good of realm". but if someone knows exact reason with explanation please share.

 
nice question.. hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/428/93 could be modified though.
 
6:03 AM
What's up guys! :)
 
@AdityaSomani Hi
 
@AdityaSomani hello
 
Here you go man. That question deserves an upvote anyway. lol
We need better tags guys.
The tagging system is going down the drain right now
 
so basically, he asned a question and posted an answer at the same time..
 
6:12 AM
@AdityaSomani yah.... we need to add better and sensible tags ...
yup...
 
2*5 + 3*10 reps
instant reps... noice
 
heheheheh
I don't like this intentional self answer to get rep.
 
@AnkitSharma How's it going? Does it seem like this site could do it?
Think about reputation as a system for someone to appreciate someone else's contributions
And you won't think so
 
@AdityaSomani to me this site is doing well.
 
6:15 AM
Let's all stop thinking of reputation as a battle
 
yeah getting rep like this is pure hacking.. hehe
 
Just need frw good rep user before public beta to help moderators.
 
As people born in India or South Asia or of Indian origins
 
@hims056, take note
 
It's easy for people to just start a competition wherever we can find one
But let's just appreciate others. Let's not do things for reputation. Let's just do them because we feel like doing them
 
6:16 AM
@AdityaSomani i believe, SO has same situation but mods somehow managed to tackle this..
idk how
 
Ofcourse we need rep.. asap for good of this site
 
SO has far too many users now
 
@VineetMenon I didn't get you.
 
Questions which are too specific just get sent into oblivion there
Not the case here
 
@hims056 we were talking about you.. please check out the transcripts
 
6:18 AM
We are like new Vampires looking for blood.
eww. I compared ourselves with twilight..
 
hahaha... @Mr_Green
 
why this downvote

A: How did Ravana get the golden city of Lanka?

Ankit SharmaThere are many variation to this story, Few includes Shiva and few not. According to one story, After getting jealous with Devi Lakshmi's house Devi Parvati demanded a better house for her. Lord Shiva first refused but later completed her wish and asked Vishwakarma to build a house which will be...

 
@Mr_Green LOL
Life is hard dude. Life is hard
 
@AnkitSharma someone downvoted you and removed their vote from the below answer.
 
LOL I think people don't understand why answers need to be downvoted
-_-
@AnkitSharma Hot pic on your Area51 profile dude. Ever considered modelling?
 
6:21 AM
that is Dexter.. a hannibal I suppose?
 
lol
On one side Dexter and on the other Walter White.
I think we're onto something @Mr_Green
 
@AdityaSomani all are totall filmy here...
 
yeah except me
I have my original profile here.
it is universal and if you see this profile anywhere on other networks then it will be ME.. and no one else.
 
To all. Stack Exchange is a network of Q&A sites. So our main focus should be on questions and answers and not on the poster. If one knows something and shares it, it will help growing the community. There is nothing wrong in asking and answering the question as long as the posts are good quality and helpful. Even SE encourages it. Do anyone agree?

Q: What is a Shivling?

Aditya SomaniAs far as I know and understand, the word "ling" means the genital organ of a human or an animal. Is the Shivling the same thing? If this is so, what is the significance behind this portrayal and how did worshiping the Shivling become a common practice today?

 
6:27 AM
and I am still stuck with this gravatar of SE and not able to get my picture from site. :(
 
@hims056 agree.. we were just joking.
 
Yup I know that :)
 
@hims056 I don't know about Hinduism, but do check for a duplicate question, before you post one. :)
 
@DroidDev Yeah. Doing that since I joined Meta.
 
6:31 AM
@Mr_Green need to look at this..
@hims056 @AdityaSomani @AnkitSharma
u too... how some people are speading this kind of shit
 
"Hinduism Ki Sachai" what a name
 
Just read some of its part
 
he is an a**hole
 
Hinduism a made man religion with fake Gods & Goddess exposed
 
yes.. he is ... and see some links given below....
 
6:34 AM
we should invite the blogger to this site's private beta
 
Brahmins & Devdasi (aka Hindu Prostitute)
and this is insane...
 
@Mr_Green What is this upvotes please?
Also, avoid profanity on chat. This might get you banned in the future
 
A request to upvote a post
 
Maybe not in the beta stages.
Why do you need to request someone to upvote something?
 
It also has a facebook page
 
hi
 
@TheDictator He must be a skeptic person. Who just don't believe in god.
 
@jabahar hi
 
@Mr_Green Remember to vote and remember to upvote are different things
 
@AdityaSomani agreed. I will not do this again.
 
6:39 AM
:) Thanks buddy.
 
what's cooking here? @hinduism is man made?
 
@jabahar u can ask that as a question
 
no no, i saw it on chat here
 
@jabahar that's from a blog from someone, who probable hate hinduism
it was written there
like is also there in chat
 
@DroidDev this one
i don't know hot quote a previous message in chat
 
6:41 AM
Let it be guys. I'm sure there are many people on the planet who choose to view something in a bad light. It's their decision.
 
Hinduism a made man religion with fake Gods & Goddess exposed
 
^ who said that? the same guy?
 
@Mr_Green yes, it is on same blog
 
every religion in someway is man made...
 
leave it.. there are many on Internet. We can't do anything about it.
 
6:43 AM
if man will not make religion, then will ghosts do? :D
 
@AdityaSomani that picture is not mine. He is already an actor.
@AdityaSomani dexter morgan not hanibal.
 
@Mr_Green yaah
 
@AdityaSomani dentistry? DExter morgan is a Blood analyst cum killer.
My previous SE dp was "Jason X".
 
@AnkitSharma It was a joke dude. -_-"
 
basically, even if shialingam is a phallic symbol should we be defensive about it?
screw those victorian morals and christian principals!
 
6:54 AM
We shouldn't be. Who said we should be?
 
yeah screw them with a screw driver :P
 
@TheDictator Don't source from yahoo answers man.
 
Japanese worship penis in it's full glory..
can i make this pic somewhat family friendly?
with a spoiler or something?
 
@AdityaSomani actually i found that a good answer.. that s why i posted that...
 
@VineetMenon There is no way to make that picture family friendly LOL
@TheDictator It contains some profanity and are not very permanent either
 
6:57 AM
hahaha
 
Literary sources would be better
 
no, i mean like some link which asks you to confirm your age and then show it.. something like that.
 
@AdityaSomani oh ok.. next time i will keep in mind while posting it
 
Thanks. :)
 
Well, hinduismkisachai.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/history-of-shivling author appears to be well versed in Hinduism
he's not some idiot's ranting..
something of a scholarly article...along the lines of Wendy Doneiger's book.
 
7:00 AM
Interesting
That is something one would not expect.
 
sorry power went out
what i missed!
what!! i missed a giant **** !
 
@VineetMenon Good idea! Quick google search for something like age restricted linking didn't give any good results though. :(
@jabahar Indeed. You missed it.
 
@VineetMenon don't post that pic on the main site
 
@jabahar Obvious dude. Obvious.
 
people often exaggerate many hindu concepts, shivling is one of them
oh i see why the picture. read that article ... its biased
 
7:09 AM
hmm I am learning new words here
 
hinduism is a religion unlike any other. it has everything, but if one focuses only on one aspect of it, then he will become an atheist
i feel sorry for people who beleive and follow such things
only if they knew the reality, puranas are of different category for people of different nature
Linga purana is tamas in nature and is liked by tamsa people
 
@jabahar i see gringos bullying japanese kids on every other internet board.. for this.
:D
 
means?
 
@jabahar is linga purana somewhat erotic?
 
yeah, obviously
 
7:20 AM
i haven't read any purana except for stories people tell me
 
puranas mention sex things in such a way that if one reads it and interprets himself they he will write articles like that
 
@jabahar on scale of 0 equaivalent to say rig veda and 10 being kamasutra, how would you rate linga purana?
 
:O
i have not read kamasutra!
you have?
 
I loled. Other scholars view on this point is different as due to Parwathi loose character shiva has cut his linga and thrown it as he saw Parwathi having sex with a elephant which result Lord Ganesha can be seen now days being thrown in Gatars and nala.
@jabahar yes. curiosity killed the kitten
 
haha
somehow i have not read that yet
 
7:23 AM
@jabahar also ananga-ranga... what a detained description..
blown my mind
 
yeah, i know about those group of texts but have not read
thts why i said, hinduism has everything
but they are appropriate for certain persons at certain times
i saw an article there where he says Krishna is a rapist
 
Yeah I saw that one too right now. It's in Hindi.
 
@jabahar hehe.. One speech by Zakir Naik is enough.. :P
 
but he forgets to mention all other parts of the puran where krishna kills the demons, lifts the mountain, does superhuman things
if whatever he mentioned is true, then dhouldn't all others be accepted as true?
bu anyway, people will always have opposite views. just that it feels bad when scriptures are misinterpreted like these
going for lunch :)
 
Is it true that Shiv puran and Vishnu puran are human based articles written just to show that their God is more powerful than other God?
For example, Vishnu puran was written by Vaishnavism people to make Vishnu look superior compare to Shiva.
 
7:34 AM
@Mr_Green yes, i believe so..
every sect has written books to show that their Isha is more powerful than others'.
 
Then what should we refer for correct info?
 
there are none.. the core is defined in Vedas and Upanishad
the shrutis..
rest is all interpreted knowledge..
Vaishnavites will disagree with me... and that's their right..
@Mr_Green i like his paintings..
aniruddha sainadh
 
yeah nice paintings
 
@Mr_Green there's one of mohini...
mind = blown.. such sensuality.
 
7:39 AM
inb4, @jabahar will scold me not to post such images.
 
yeah me too.. :)
 
HIs art is good but few are little wired and few even bit vulgar.
 
I like the way he is explaining each character in details
 
ooops...not wired.....hahhhaha
 
@AnkitSharma vulgar is not the correct word.
 
7:50 AM
@Mr_Green but his ghatotkach's son story is contradictory
 
erotic, yes
 
@VineetMenon hmmmm vulgar is bit extreme.
agree
 
see for instance, he on'y shows proper couple in amours positions.
 
didn't read it.. will do now
 
like shiv and parvati
 
7:51 AM
Should we ask it ti question?
@Mr_Green he said, ghatotakach doesn't have a son name barbarika
In the Mahābhārata, Barbarika (IAST Barbarīka) was the son of Ghatotkacha and Maurvi (Ahilawati), daughter of Muru, a Yadava king. Barbarika was originally a yaksha, and was reborn as a man. Among whom his paternal grandfather Bhima was the second one. However, he was bound by his principle of always fighting on the losing side, which led him to stand witness to the battle without taking part. King Yalamber of Nepal is portrayed as Barbarika in Mahābhārata. In Rajasthan, he is worshipped as Khatushyamji, and is believed to have been sacrificed before the Mahabharata war to ensure the vic...
 
who said? molee?
 
yup molee
 
@AnkitSharma you should see his interview after Hindu goons attacked his exibition.
he askes them to read Kumarasambhavam
i guess it's full of sexual/erotic material.
 
@VineetMenon he is a bit controversial and we have so many kattar hindu people in India, which doesn't have much work to do. So attacks are expected.
 
@AnkitSharma exactly.. people should mind their own business...
 
7:55 AM
@VineetMenon Kumarasambhavam, didn't know this before.......too much to learn
 
hehe
Ask a question about Sashtang namaskar.. and what is its purpose
 
Molee should have a Wikipedia page.
Even i should have one :P
 
who writes these all wikis?
 
it seems that i have missed so much things.
 
I think we can write our own wiki.. not sure about it though
 
8:00 AM
@Mr_Green anyone can write them...even u
 
yah we can right that
 
But they got deleted by Wikipedia if they are not sourced
 
@AnkitSharma then write about yourself
ohh
 
@VineetMenon @Mr_Green jabahar is right.
 
I have once edited one wikipedia page too. Corrected mistakes.
 
8:01 AM
Posting such images on chat can get you banned
If someone flag a moderator here
Even now, you can get banned
With all of them removed
Don't forget that this is public content
 
@AdityaSomani I didn't post any profanity here..
 
@AdityaSomani i guess no one is on the mod position here./.. is it?
 
I know, but that japan pic lol...
 
@AdityaSomani i can't see any harm in that pics.....one is bit erotic but not upto an extent to get banned
 
I'm just trying to save quality users man...
External moderators. Not necessarily in site moderators.
 
8:02 AM
ohhh...that pic
 
Even erotic content
Believe me. That can also be considered offensive.
 
Alien is missing todays party too
 
ALien's spaceship got broken :p
 
Yeah @Mr_Green I don't mean you're pic. But the Jap one...lol
 
kk
 
8:03 AM
You're pic is subtely borderline though ;)

We can move our message to this room.. to make our room clean..
Owners.. please do that
 
^ the above message should be moved to trash can :P

@Mr_Green whatever u feels...

8:08 AM
right now I am surrounded here. I didn't even visit this chat room when the pic was posted for a while. :) will do it soon..
 
@AnkitSharma yah its good to have a company of Alien
 
1 message moved to Recycle
 
This! This is brilliant guys! :D
So you can only move your own messages to the Trash Can?
 
@AnkitSharma i can help u in this
@AdityaSomani owner can move any message
 
8:21 AM
@AnkitSharma I would be willing to help as well. If someone taught me though...
Oh, must be room owner eh? :( Make me one?
 
@AdityaSomani this is only available to the owners of this room.. i.e. @Mr_Green and @AnkitSharma
yah
 
1 message moved to Recycle
@TheDictator good thing to learn
 
Now, whoever wants to read profanity, go to the Recycle Bin. LOL
 
we can delete our own messages.. but that will not actually deleted.. they are visible to the room owners and moderators as well and the person who has deleted that
 
@TheDictator Yeah I knew that one. :D
 
8:23 AM
@AdityaSomani yah.. :D
 
it looks more like a game now. Anyways we shouldn’t use it unnecessary
 
@AnkitSharma yah.. but when some one is spamming.. (hopw that wont happen here) then we need to use that
 
hmmm
I thought someone was making a Fb promotional page for us. Where is it?
 
8:38 AM
@AnkitSharma is it ? really?
 
Yeah who is making the FB page?
someone told me to make it but I am not a big fan of FB. I don't know much about it.
 
@AnkitSharma i guess u should make it one..
or @Mr_Green u do that
 
ok creating one
if I try creating "Hinduism", it is becoming "unofficial: Hinduism"
what should I do about this?
@TheDictator
 
@Mr_Green hmm... Hinduism.stackexchange?
 
@TheDictator I should create a "community" page right?
 
8:56 AM
@Mr_Green yah it would be better then
 
make other ppl to join this community
 
@TheDictator is it good?
 
@Mr_Green yah.. provide some descriptoin and our site link as well
and invite some of ur friend
as well
 
Hey is this mean I should take care of this FB page? can't I just handle owner to others?
 
9:06 AM
@Mr_Green hahaha
 
9:20 AM
These people are so prude!
:|
 
@VineetMenon ??
 
Who people?
 
removing profanity from chats..
@AdityaSomani you guys! :P
 
hahaha i am just helping him to del
 
Haha. Dude, this can lead to consequences believe me. i have seen 25k+ users on the site being banned because they were talking about some random stuff.
So why do Ankit and MrGreen get special privileges for room ownership?
 
9:34 AM
aaa.. because we are special :P
 
@AdityaSomani because mod has selected @Mr_Green and @Mr_Green has selected @AnkitSharma
 
TheDictator is also special though :)
 
@AdityaSomani Mr_green got selected my room itself ( by some automated algo), for being most active user. And he selected me.
 
@AdityaSomani doesn't that happen because of mods?
 
Anyways room owner doesn't have much powers.....Mod have more power in the room.
 
9:42 AM
i don't think comp sci has advanced enough to detect random stuff and profanity from useful stuff
 
@AnkitSharma how we become the mods of this site?
any idea?
alien must know that
 
you should have some meta badges
 
@TheDictator comunity moderator selct 3 or 4 people as temporary mod in public beta
 
@AnkitSharma are u active on the meta>?
 
which meta?
 
9:44 AM
 
I am active on Hinduism Meta. But not from yesterday.
Little busy to submitt my review on meta post
Ahh....rather then understanding my point. I am getting a one more free downvote
more like a comment, maybe. But "answering the question", well, I don't really think there's a reason to it. Why are most scissors made so that it's easier for righties (this isn't a word, I know) and not lefties - there's absolutely no technical/religious/spiritual reason that I have ever come across. I indicated the same in my answer. And no the "Ulta haath" thing is also related to the same thing - we use left hand for certain thing and right for certain - saying one is the reason for other is circular reasoning. — tpb261 11 mins ago
