Hey guys I want to ask a question about mahabharatha

I have read that Karna's guru was parashu rama but how is this possible?at the same time lord sree kriskna was also there is'nt lord sree Krishna and parashu rama was the avathar of lord vishnu? How he can take two avathars at the same time?

Nog Shine

Hello! Welcome.

Akash. B

HI can you give me its answer

Nog Shine

God can incarnate in many forms at the same time. Parashu Rama is a chiranjivi. He is also present during the Rama avatar. He met Rama too.

Akash. B

so whats happening is both same

Nog Shine

yes.

the answer is he can incarnate many number of times at the same time.

Akash. B

Is kalki taken its avathar?

Nog Shine

Yes.

He will incarnate in the future.

Akash. B

Can I meet him?

Q: How did Rishis perform Tapasya (transcendental meditation) so that they heard Shruti/Veda?

The oldest and primary scripture we do have is Veda and we know that ancient Rishis heard Veda in the state of Tapasya directly from Ishwara and that is called Shruti. But one question often comes in my mind - How did they perform Tapasya (Dhyana or deep mediation), since they had no scripture (...

Is sree krishna or allahu?

hey nog shine

Nog Shine

Hello @Akash.B

It depends on What are your beliefs and definition of religion?

If this is the first time you are using Stack Exchange chat, visit chat faq.

Akash. B

why there are different religions isn't the same god who created us all?

no I have been using physics stack exchange

Nog Shine

Because different people understood, experienced and saw that same God as different. Based on those observations, they gave definitions of that god.

@Akash.B Cool.

Akash. B

How can I reach near god?

Even though god knows that we humans will do adharmas then why he created us all?

Nog Shine

@Pandya Thanks. It is still far from 10k

@Akash.B It is human nature to do things good and bad. God created many beings and gave some duties to perform. He also gave the intellect to human beings. It is our choice what things we have to do.

TheLittleNaruto

Akash. B

Oh well Once I just disbelieve my god on the basis of science I often told that there is no god and the reason for our existence is science

TheLittleNaruto

You must do what you're supposed to do. It's your Karma

You study your science

That's what you should do.

Akash. B

But I can't science is opposing what i beleive

TheLittleNaruto

What do you believe ?

Akash. B

10:26 AM

I believe god is responsible for our existence but the science is opposing it

TheLittleNaruto

Science is saying the same thing, it just, it didn't use the word "God".

Haya Raed

i like to know about religions in general .. other perspectives

i believe that following a religion gives a peace of mind and i find it interesting to know how others find this peace through their religion

TheLittleNaruto

Hinduism Philosophy is very broad. So many people with different experience and different concepts explained it.

Akash. B

Just reciting the devotional songs

Haya Raed

is it related to animals in any ways .. certain religions forbid eating animals for example .. they believe in animals in a different way

TheLittleNaruto

@HayaRaed Answering to that, I would say you need to be focused on more to spirituality.

Akash. B

can I learn bramhaasthras mentioned in mahabharata

TheLittleNaruto

10:48 AM

@HayaRaed According to Tantra, everything is Shiva. Whether it is human animals birds mountains etc each and everything that you can see. The more you'll understand God, more you'll stop doing things which does not look good , for example eating animals.

Nog Shine

@HayaRaed yes, Hinduism does not force anyone to eat animals and it condemns violence of animals

Haya Raed

what do u mean by Shiva?

TheLittleNaruto

@HayaRaed God

Haya Raed

so too many Gods?

TheLittleNaruto

The Ultimate Reality

God is one.

Haya Raed

Akash. B

TheLittleNaruto

You can name it anything, I named him Shiva

Nog Shine

@TheLittleNaruto Haya asked for basics man..

TheLittleNaruto

Some named him Allah

Nog Shine

Haya Raed

TheLittleNaruto

@NogShine You're right.

Haya Raed

but i don't get how God is one but everything is God

Akash. B

TheLittleNaruto

As long as they're not on the path of reaching to that Supreme Lord

Akash. B

They'll do such stuffs

It does not matter which religion they belong to

@HayaRaed read this answer: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/26072/647

IF god is one why such division among the humans?

hmm

Haya Raed

TheLittleNaruto

That is one of the state of God where he experience himself. This state is called Maya. @Akash.B

Guys.. you are confusing among yourselves.

Akash. B

where is your answer?

Nog Shine

@Akash.B under your question

Akash. B

Thats what i told you, i didn't understand the term maya

hmm

Haya Raed

I believe that there should be only one God that everyone believes in .. and that God has given us all the guidelines needed to lead a life with success and as good humans ..

does hinduism have hell and paradise?

an after life?

Nog Shine

11:04 AM

YEs, Hinduism believes in afterlife

and the cycle of birth and rebirth.

Haya Raed

how do u know what is right and wrong? is there a book / spiritual leader ?

ok good

i read the article sent previously

Nog Shine

Hell is called Naraka and paradise is called Swarga.

Haya Raed

so all creatures are how God expresses himself?

TheLittleNaruto

Exactly

Haya Raed

ok...

even humans?

what about the soul?

Nog Shine

11:06 AM

Swarga is the abode of the devas or demigods. Those who have done good practices go to Heaven and who are sinners go to hell.

Haya Raed

devas means?

devils?

does God have a soul?

Nog Shine

No, they are the divine beings.

Haya Raed

so all of you are hindu?

Nog Shine

There are books which say what is good and which is bad and which practices takes you to which destination for how much long too.

but either of the places I have mentioned above are temporary. After experiencing their fruits of the action, they take birth again.

About soul, there are different philosophies in Hinduism. Each of them have a different observation about soul. Soul is called Atma. Some say there is only one soul in the world which is God and there is nothing else in the world. There are others which preach non monism too. All these observations are from the texts itself. The difference is due to the difference in point of view.

Haya Raed

so there is no holy book .. one that everyone should follow

Avnish Kabaj

11:17 AM

@HayaRaed yeah

There are many of them.

Q: Are we correctly tagging "scripture" tag?

Recently, I have found out that scripture tag is not correctly used. According to the tag wiki excerpt of the scripture: For questions about the holy texts of Hinduism. Please also use a more specific tag (e.g. [vishnu-purana]) if possible. It says about the questions about scriptures. I...

YDS

Thank you....Reading..

Nog Shine

but I don't understand what @Pandya mean by explicit reference

I take explicit as "need a quote from scriptures" as explicitly asking.

Use identification when you are not sure about the source

YDS

Much confusion :)

Nog Shine

I am following that meta post and others are not.

That is why the confusion.

YDS

4:05 PM

@NogShine i want answer from scriptures only and not from journals or words of saints...then we can use scripture tag instead of identification request.right?

Nog Shine

I am removing and asking to remove that tag if the question has nothing to do with texts.

@YDS You can just say that you want from scriptures and not from any journal or anything else. Like a bounty notice. That is enough. The tag has other purposes on SE.

Tags don't say what OP is looking the answer from. The body does.

But it is true that some users add scriptures for each and every question, Sometimes, based on their understanding and answers. Not based on questions.

You can also read this hinduism.stackexchange.com/help/tagging

YDS

@NogShine "Scripture is used to find scriptural reference. Identification request is used to find verse locations or image locations"~@TheDestroyer this seems logical..

Nog Shine

@YDS What is the difference between verse location and scriptural reference?

YDS

May be someone gave verse in Q and want to know where this verse foumd in BhagvadGita...then bhagvatGita and identificationReq seem suitable tags...

Nog Shine

Using the scripture tags for scriptural reference is redundant.

It can be just said in the question itself. What is the need of the tag again?

YDS

4:18 PM

Ok...then where to use scripture tag?

We hv identification req for general Q and individual scripture tags...

Nog Shine

@YDS If someone knows it is in the Bhagavad Gita, then it is not a real question

YDS

@NogShine really...i hv seen few Qn here...

Users post some image and ask where it is mentioned in Gita..

Nog Shine

@YDS We should use when the question is about the scriptures or the question discusses a scripture in the body. There are many scriptures without a tag. For that, it can be used.

@YDS Image????

I have given some solutions when to use scripture tag in the question above,

YDS

@NogShine i mean image on which text is written..

and also in a recent meta discussion.
