Q: Are all Samadhis are required in order OR can be practiced irrespective of each other?

5:39 AM

In Yog sutra Patanjali mentioned 10 types of samadhis : Seems all are related and are inter-related to each other. So questions arise in my mind are: Is there any text that suggest the order in which we should try Samadhis? Do all samadhis are required or based on personality some are opti...

Q: Did Bhaktivinod Thakur explicitly employ the term 'apasampradaya' to describe unorthodox Vaishnavas?

9:55 AM

Bengali Vaishnava reformers in the 19th century reclaimed Vaishnavism as a noble indigenous tradition and rehabilitated its reputation, setting it apart from low-caste, antinomian, suspiciously Tantric, heterodox Vaishnava movements. For this purpose they employed the notion of apasampradāya – a ...

Q: Who were the two priests of Asuras (not Shukracharya)?

11:15 AM

I came across an interesting story while reading the Shatapatha brahmana regarding Manu's encounters with the priests of Asuras: Manu was in possession of a bull. Into him had entered an Asura-killing, foe-killing voice; and by his snorting and roaring the Asuras and Rakshas were continual...

In spite of his promiscuity why is Indra worshipped? was posted in 2016 and Why Indra should be respected after looking at his affairs? in 2018.

I don't understand how old post could be marked duplicate of new question.

New question should be marked duplicate of old one.

Anyone please explain.

Duplicate is a duplicate. It is a failure to find the old one before finding old post.

Answerers should always answer old question in this case.

But that almost doesn't happen. Clear Duplicates are answered even when there are 3 or 4 dupe votes.

@KrishnaShweta Shows that close voters and answerers are not active.

Q: Which scripture mentions Vishwakarma made the dieties at jagannatha?

I had always head that Vishwakarma was designing the deities at Jagannatha when he was disturbed thats why he left them incomplete. But I couldn't find any reference in the scriptures for the same. Can some tell me which scripture narrates the stoty of Vishwakarma creating the idols of Lord Jagan...

balarama vishwakarma jagan-natha subhadra

@Hinduismbot asked it already. It's a dupe

Already answered under Is Lord Jagannath an incarnation of Vishnu?. So, it is a duplicate of that question. Answer to that question contains that Vishwakarma made idols.. — Sarvabhouma 10 secs ago

@NogShine I remember people here saying questions should not be marked dupe based on answer but question. Ab ye kya hai? -_-

@KrishnaShweta Yes, questions make duplicates. Should I write the same answer again?

I am fine with answering then.. But some will have problem with it.

5:41 PM

@NogShine Yes.

I did same here hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/27675/…

@NogShine Anything happened earlier?

@KrishnaShweta Yup. Went on Meta too. So..

@KrishnaShweta That is not exactly dupe. You quoted answer.

@NogShine Links!!

@KrishnaShweta No. It's not good.

Ok..

I will search it.

Good

@NogShine I will write it soon. Even though verse is half same :P

@KrishnaShweta Do it. For which question are you saying?

Q: Can anyone control Krishna?

Lord Krishna is self-reliant and believed to depend on no one. I came across the following statements: Krishna controls the whole universe and Radha controls Krishna with love. I heard from preachings that Krishna cried for Radha also. My doubt is that can anyone control Krishna? Are th...

krishna radha

This one.

Great philosophers interpret the same verse differently. Why can't we write the answer with half verse same?

We can write I think.

6:10 PM

@KrishnaShweta I think I found answer to your question on Jagannatha

Great!

@NogShine Will be waiting!

Q: What is the final message conveyed by Shvetashvatara Upanishad?

Upanishads are long texts. So it is useful to know to know the final message and implement the same in our day to day life.

See you later alligator @NogShine :P
