When Lord Krishna was advising Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, Sri Krishna told that no one dies if we kill them.Those who are killed, start their journey as jiva and these jiva cannot be destroyed or created The jiva who lost their body finds another body and start to live in it. If this cycle is rep...

This is an issue I have observed lately on main site. Pinpointing the close voters in comments. When a question is closed by the community, some users are losing their patience and and pointing and targetting close voters in the comments saying why is this off-topic, why is this primarily opini...

discussion comments etiquette

@Akash.B There are. But mostly they're immigrants from India.

Same goes with Islam as well.

Meta Time!!

Meta time?

Yes, Meta Time

Have you visited our Hinduism Meta @Akash.B ?

@TheLittleNaruto Why our Hinduism was not propagated throughout the world?

5:23 AM

Well.. it's not like that. Hinduism is everywhere around this world in some way.

At least the Teachings of Hinduism is everywhere, that I can guarantee you.

Many Schoalers from different world from different religions visit India, meet respective Guru to learn the very concept of Hinduism

oh

You must feel proud after knowing that

no

Lol why ?

proud is a warning

5:29 AM

Very nice

Ty

Thank you

@NogShine Where does lord parushurama live if he is a chirangivi?

@NogShine Yes. I posted questions also

@Akash.B That's not the reply I am looking for. Don' t use reply button if you are asking a new question . Use it for reply

That reply was not directed you. I asked you another question. Did you visit meta?

Yes

5:36 AM

Later o/

@Akash.B :/

😀

so small

anyone?

What is so small?

5:47 AM

the emojis

Yeah. They are small only

@NogShine I have. Good question.

@TriyugiNarayanMani The body is the same I guess. There were additions but not the modifications to remove opinion based parts. — Sarvabhouma 25 mins ago

@TriyugiNarayanMani OKay. I got it. But I am talking in general. Many users don't participate on meta.

That question was closed as primarily opinion based.

I have closed because of its title

Now it can be closed as Unclear

@TriyugiNarayanMani Hahaha. Yes

5:52 AM

@NogShine Yes.

Users pointing at others while doing the same thing

@TriyugiNarayanMani ? I don't understand

A series of meta questions

Got it.

Lot of things going on these days on this site.

Yes.

Nice profile picture @Akash.B

hinduism.stackexchange.com/users/12489/s-k?tab=reputation

@SwiftPushkar It will be reversed within 24 hours.

Mods will know

@NogShine - ok :-)

7:41 AM

@SwiftPushkar Ha ha. I also noticed that.

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes :-)

@TriyugiNarayanMani -Nice find :-)

8:30 AM

@SwiftPushkar Thanks

ok got it . :-)

@TriyugiNarayanMani - hinduscriptures.in/scriptures/puranas-18-puranas-mahapurana/…

@SwiftPushkar :o Is it a mirror site?

@NogShine - I think they changed the name , and this is link provided by them to old site , which was called Indianscriptures.:-)

This is UTTER NONSENSE - blaming the victims. — S K 2 mins ago

8:46 AM

@NogShine Ha ha

@SwiftPushkar Yes, they have changed their domain

They removed Buddhism scriptures and other religious scriptures

May be they are still migrating as it is present on the new site. hinduscriptures.com/category/hindu-scriptures/…

@NogShine

I see

Or may be not as they changed the name to hinduscriptures.in

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yeah they changed the name but on the new site , only links are provided , no actual content is inside those links , and you are correct may be they will still be migrating .

8:53 AM

@SwiftPushkar Yes, before 1 week the same condition was with indian scriptures too.

they were incomplete

Does replacing indian with Hindu make all the links in the answer work as before?

@NogShine No

.com with .in

and may be some more

@TriyugiNarayanMani - yes , i was too much worried , because i have provided lots of links from that site in my old and new answers, i was thinking to delete them but it is online now , hope the links are intact.

@SwiftPushkar Same with me

We need to edit links

I think there must be some way of doing it collectively @NogShine

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yup , but let us first confirm whether they are still functioning or not , it will be tedious task.

8:56 AM

@SwiftPushkar Yes

2-3 links in single answer , so i will need to update at least 200-300 links 😀

:)

Hinduism Stack Exchange will be changed to Swift Pushkar Stack Exchange

But the good thing is mostly we have provided the sanskrit verses with translation so not everything is lost .

@NogShine 😯 why and How ?

@SwiftPushkar if you edit your answers with new links, main page will be flooded

;)

9:05 AM

na not going to do in one time , its a slow process , it will not even get
noticed .

@SwiftPushkar I'm joking. We have a limit per day to edit our own posts. I think we can't edit more than 15 I guess.

@NogShine -oh i was not aware of that , thanks ..

@TriyugiNarayanMani unfortunately they even changed the address of links of Archived indian scriptures site , , so all our links are lost , old or new:(

Q: Can we have some tools to handle link rot?

@SwiftPushkar yes

50

There are many links posted in answers, and some in questions, that are either stale or broken. An example is the change to Ant on-line documentation this year to do away with separate 'Optional' and 'Core' tasks areas in the documentation - the old links 404 now. I've fixed a bunch of 'optiona...

A: What is the source of mantra: Om Shreem Shree Dharaya Trailokya Mohanaya namaha?

@TriyugiNarayanMani -

5

Source The Mantra you have quoted is from Garuda Purana - Achara Kanda - Section 1 - Chapter 30 - Verse 8 . " Shreedhara (vishnu) Vidhi Dharma" . But is little different. This mantra is used in worship of Shridhara manifestation of Lord Vishnu. ॐ ह्रीं श्रीधराय त्रैलोक्यमोहनाय विष्णवे ...

see both our links are lost :-)

Ha ha

9:14 AM

I would just delete those links instead of modifying. Answers are stand alone ones already

@NogShine Yes. In most cases

@TriyugiNarayanMani BTW motilal versions of puranas are available on archieve.org , we can simply replace those links also ,instead of deleting them , but the work will be even more slower then . @NogShine

Yes

Q: can we be mature about voting to close?

@TriyugiNarayanMani - Just updated one link of garuda purana - - archive.org/stream/GarudaPuranaEnglishMotilal3VolumesIn1/…

Surely the powers that be have statistics on who the votes to close are coming from - if it is a small group perhaps they should be asked to lighten up. 'Does any Hindu scripture say anything to the effect “all men (and women) are created equal”?' THREE votes to close this question (in 2018) do...

9:23 AM

@SwiftPushkar OK..

Should i update your link ?

@SwiftPushkar You can always edit my posts

@TriyugiNarayanMani - ok did it ,

@SwiftPushkar Thanks

@SK hii nice 2 see you here :-)

9:39 AM

@MetaBot lol

@TriyugiNarayanMani You edit my answers and add corrected links to them and i will do the same for you , in this way we both will earn copy editor gold badge of editing 500 posts. 😀 @NogShine

@SwiftPushkar Ha ha good idea

@SwiftPushkar Hahaha

I will try

@TriyugiNarayanMani don't worry 😀, i will provide links 2 you , you just edit the post

@SK yes , very fine , wht abt. you. :) i am from pune Maharashtra .

9:53 AM

@NogShine Oh

sorry not you .. yes :-)

@SwiftPushkar Is this site EVER going to lighten up?

@SwiftPushkar I am a Copy editor but I am active now also.

@NogShine congrates :)

@SK i think everybody is a responsible member here and all are part of a community , who's responsibility is to maintain quality of this site .and MODS and META are there in case of any violation , even we can directly mail to SE team. But i think if you change the way you are asking questions an try to add some more details & some clarification about the purpose of the question , your posts will receive no close votes and downvotes.

@SK I mean people are taking all your posts in negative way just because of that reason , Even some of your posts are really useful and users upvoted your posts wholeheartedly also.

10:03 AM

@SwiftPushkar I am not concened about me alone. This site is GRIM, like a funeral parlor - with policemen trying to remove all color. Hinduism is not like the best sorting algorithm - there has to be give and take. At any rate, capitalism will decide the fate of those responsible - if they stand in the way of ad revenue, they have to change or they'll be gone

@SK See we are not here to criticise hinduism , or for reforming purpose , this is database site , the data should come from scriptures mainly , no matter what is written over there , if we are doing work for the hinduism we have to accept its views and texts.

@SwiftPushkar So you are saying it IS like the best sorting algorithm "just the facts ma;am"

@NogShine what is infinite-pings ?

@SwiftPushkar At any rate the inner clique gets in enormous sectarian propaganda - but most of the regulars have accepted it, like lower back-pain. but once ad revenue gets involved - things will sort themselves out.

@SK Hindu scriptures are the best algorithm for Hinduism SE , not necessarily others , its not a science /Technology IT site where modern views and definitions are only valid. Here what is ancient is valid.

10:10 AM

@TriyugiNarayanMani Thanks.

@TriyugiNarayanMani It means you can ping any one here infinitely. ;)

Great :)

@SK Yes, I hope it will be sooner. when hate between users is removed and all respect beliefs of all the people.

Anyways, Welcome to Hinduism Chat.

This sectarianism has been a problem in other religious sites like Christianity and Islam too. When they overcame, why can't we?

@SK "inner clique gets in enormous sectarian propaganda - but most of the regulars have accepted it" - Everybody has their rights here , we cant say no to anybody , if we start quarreling , that will ruin whole purpose , and it will be waste of time .

@SwiftPushkar are most posters from so-called "upper" castes? They get absolutely vicious when caste system is discussed.

@SK There are posters from all the communities, castes in fact from other countries also.

10:19 AM

@SK Not necessarily , generally caste is no bar here as this is international site . So this is not the problem of cast. But all are experienced users , so they know how the things work here.

Did somebody flagged something over here?

No.

I don't think so

ok users are joining chat room , so i thought ..

It is good thing actually.

@NogShine haha

10:22 AM

Some body voted to close my meta question. ROFL XD

Meta is for opinion based questions.

and discussions.

@NogShine Good. It will get some traffic on your post then

@SwiftPushkar Something is terribly wrong with this site. It is controlled by a minority sect, the rules are absurd, there isn't the tiniest shred of a sense of humor.

@SK This is not true. This site has all kind of person.

@SK "controlled by a minority sect" - No nobody is controlling this site . But the community is .

Spam

10:33 AM

did you read the flaged messages ?

yes

By downvoting they support pinpointing users. Is that what they mean? I am sure that the close voter don't know what is meta. It is a discussion post for God's sake.

@SwiftPushkar I read too

@NogShine ok all

BTW Bye all , leaving for some work , will be back in late eve.

@TriyugiNarayanMani @SwiftPushkar Chat Suspended already

@SwiftPushkar OK bye

Q: do scriptures define what a "sect" is?

I guess a sect is one that only subscribes to a subset of Hindu beliefs and/or worships only a subset of Hindu gods. Is there anything in scriptures about this?

@Nog FYI, Bhuvanas are plane only.

@The so, Sadashiva has no planes? 0.o

Sadashiva is not Kalaa

It's a tattva

Yo @JourneymanGeek

What does Sada Shiva has no kalaas and Bhuvanas?

Kalaa is part of Maya Tattva

I don't remember the name but others have 2 bhuvanas, some have 26 bhuvanas. What are these planes then?

4:51 PM

I don't know yet. But whatever I read so far, by that I can assume 'em as ranking/label of respective kalaa

@JourneymanGeek is a guy among our SE users whom I really want to see on this site.

Tagged him so that he can read... xD

Especially on meta.

@The. I also understand that kala is about some sort of ranking but Bhuvana is one confusing me.

@NogShine No No

Kalaa is not a ranking.

It is product of Maya.

It is also called coverings or Kanchukas
