Q: Why casteism is based on birth rather than present Gunas & Karmas?

I've seen many Brahmins & Kshatriyas (called) behaving like Shudras (called). Being wallowed in material pleasures,cruelty,ignorance etc. On the other hand we find many Shudras behaving like Brahmin, having spiritual qualities, tolerance, calmness etc. Then don't you think birth based system is f...

Q: Is Hinduism fundamentally monotheistic or polytheistic or somewhere in between?

I used to believe that Hinduism is a polytheistic religion because of the sheer number of Gods around. But now I'm not so sure. Personally, I've always been a devotee of Krishna (member of ISKCON). I'd come to believe that Krishna is the ultimate form of the divine. Everything else came from h...

Q: Adi shankaracharya was Shaiv or Vaihshnva? In his work he equaled both as both are same then why people call him Vaihnav?

In Mahabharat when Pandavas asked for penance for their sins of killing their family members,Krishna asked them to go to Ishavra in Kedarnath as only Ishavra able to give penance for their sins. Shiva took away the right of pooja for Brahma who is one in trines not Vishnu. In Ramcharit Manas left...

Ankit Sharma

@SreeCharan hinduism.stackexchange.com/help/merging-accounts

Sree Charan

@AnkitSharma Previously it used to be a blank and SE identicon but it shows about.

Pandya

@SreeCharan Are you taking about?:

stackexchange.com/users/8165300/sinister

Sree Charan

@Pandya Yes.

Pandya

@SreeCharan Do you see "Update Profile Info" link?

Sree Charan

15:46

@Pandya Yes.

Pandya

@SreeCharan click on it and set your Hinduism account from drop down menu.

Sree Charan

@Pandya but it shows my personal info. ISn't there a way to hide info and profile picture but parent user be Hinduism?

Pandya

Your Hinduism Account is already linked at stackexchange.com/users/8165300/sinister?tab=accounts

Sree Charan

@Pandya I changed my name in ell.SE But can't we put a separate name for SE excluding other communities?

Pandya

@SreeCharan Network profile doesn't have "parent account" like Chat Profile. Instead, it links your all accounts (ignoring hidden case). And talking about Name, Avatar & About, it synchronises with one account which is oldest by default and you can set as you wish

@SreeCharan So, do you want to change name only for Network Profile?

Sree Charan

15:55

@Pandya Yes.

Pandya

@SreeCharan Then you've to synchronize with the SE account that has the name you want.

Sree Charan

@Pandya @AnkitSharma Thanks. Will talk to you later.

Pandya

@SreeCharan I think we can't stop synchronization of Avatar and about me.

Sree Charan

@Pandya Ok.

Pandya

@SreeCharan Congratulation!

@SreeCharan btw, Have you also changed chat account - parent site to ELL?

Now we're missing your Avatar on Chat!!

I've Feature Requested:

Q: Show the avatar of related site of a chat-room instead of parent site of a user

Currently, in chat-room the avatar is shown from the parent site that a user selected in the chat profile. So, throughout SE network in (any) chat-room (talking about main chat server i.e not MSE or SO), the same avatar is shown. But as we know, sometimes users don't use same avatar on all site(...

Q: Irawati Karve says "Vidura is the biological father of Yudhiṣṭhira". Is she right? Which Upaniṣadic story is she referring to?

Irawati Karve in her book Yugānta, which is a commentary on the Mahābhārata, says: There are two more incidents which lend support to this contention [that Dharma is the son of Vidura]. After Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, Kunti and Vidura had gone to live in the forest, the Pandavas would occas...
