I listen total 10 or 13 names are there but not knowing the names. I listen one or two like Radheya,Vashusena. So I want to know how many different names of Karna are mentioned in Mahabharata? Is there any story for each of them?
@Hinduismbot @SuryaKantaBoseChowdhury, while editing, always make sure that the post of the body contains the question as well, not just the title.
@NogShine Yeah, that's one nice place. Stayed there for a week, people spoke in clear English. (Secunderabad was weird, as in people didn't know much English/Hindi).
@TheLittleNaruto Shivaji received his sword from Ambabhavani, in Tuljapur, Maharashtra. Ask Swift, he'll be knowing more about it.
@NogShine I last visited that place when I was 8 years old. I liked that place because they gave Ice Cream as prasad. :p
@TheLittleNaruto No wonder you edited my answer to change it from Bihar to Jharkhand :p (J/K)
@BhargavRao - yes , that's what we know abt. the sword ,and also his Simhasana (seat) was were full of precious gems , I think its in queens museum in uk .:-)
@BhargavRao No unfortunately no , but will plan it , Mumbai is just 130 from my place , a weekend trip . Also have to visit elephanta caves and will take ferry to alibaug . :-)
@SwiftPushkar Yes. I can read and write Hindi. I can even speak basic phrases. But if it has lots of urdu words, i find it difficult to understand. I can understand TV shows like Mahadev.
@BhargavRao - haha yes i was just abt. to say that , visited at least 50 times , also bhaje near it. :-) very nice , i too clicked some photos of that cave .
One of my relatives told me do not listen to unknown mantra showing on you-tube since do not know the actual meaning of the mantra and not surely correct pronunciation. How to identify the real good mantra from bad one ? can I chat the mantra appear in the google search engine? is there any books...
@BhargavRao At Bhimashankar ? Do tell me its description , i will try to find more abt. it , like color etc. I am planing to go over there on 13 Maha-Shivaratri .
@SwiftPushkar I would, if I remembered that. I searched almost everywhere, asked the people there, the flower vendors, tempo drivers, everyone, but I didn't find it. The flower was bright, but it was dry and the petals were a bit thick. I searched online as well, I didn't find them.
@BhargavRao Yes , heard abt. that Maruti Chitampalli in his books describing some of them , He is head of MH Forest department . And a grt. expertise in forests of MH . I am having his books , i will update you aft. reading it again later on.
What are some most good verses of lord rudra from taittiriya

@TheLittleNaruto haha , ok will try today itself , but currently working on 4 . So u are in Q .😀
@BhargavRao Yeah , photography is not allowed inside or near to linga , but will send you some photos of outside , But expect lot of people in photos 😀
I miss that 2004 trip, I was 10 years old, had just then bought a Konica camera, each click was so damn precious. Now, when I visited Mumbai last year, I clicked some 300 pictures in Elephanta. :D
@BhargavRao Haha yes , its one among Unesco World Heritage Site and one of the world’s eight biodiversity hotspots, but unfortunately fastly becoming endangered , cities are growing at high and coming near to the forest.
I'm not quite convinced that it's just a forest. Even the priests there tell that it's just the name of the forest, but I think it's connected to the Dakinis.
Lord Shiva has been worshipped in Linga form from time beginning as described in answer here. Among the Lingas there are 12 Jyotirlingas which are of special importance.
Mahatmya of 12 Jyotirlingas is described in Koti Rudra Samhita of Shiva Purana in the chapter "Dwadash Jyotirlinga Mahatmya". ...

@TriyugiNarayanMani , @SwiftPushkar and @AnkitSharma can delete the answer. ^
The plot of the very popular Telugu film Mayabazaar, revolves around the marriage of Abhimanyu. The brief story is:
Balarama wanted to marry his daughter Sashirekha to Lakshmana Kumara, who was the son of Duryodhana. However Abhimanyu falls in love with her and seeks Krishna's help to get marrie...
@TriyugiNarayanMani Even I have a question about significance of tirthas located on banks of North flowing rivers. At Kashi, Ganga flows in northern direction.
Places located on North flowing rivers are very sacred.
@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes. But train is at 2 AM in Allahabad and my mother might feel uncomfortable. metaphorically, Triveni Sangamam denotes three Nadis.
@TriyugiNarayanMani Ok. Will do consider this place.
@TriyugiNarayanMani Temples mostly. Vishwanath, Annapurana, Vishalakshi, Kala Bhairava temples. Will see what other places i can visit. Will stay at manikarnika at lingodbava time.
Ok. Skanda Purana says Iswara created well and Visheswara Linga is anointed with Jnanawapi well waters and Ganga came to Kashi later when Bhagiratha did Tapasya to liberate his ancestors.
I'm currently visiting India, and I just went to Srivilliputhur, which is the birthplace of two of the 12 Alwars, namely Periyalwar and his daughter Andal. Srivilliputhur has two Vishnu temples: the Andal temple, where Andal was born, and the Vadapatrasayee temple, which is the actual Divya Desa...
Shree Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita 2.12 states:

In Adi Shankaracharya's Advaita Vedanta, Nirguna Brahman (Brahman without form or qualities) is the Para Brahman (Supreme Brahman) according to this Wikipedia article. This is the Ultimate Reality of Advaita.
Meanwhile in Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna's Madhyamaka, the Ultimate Reality is descr...
it is still not clear whether the Varaha Avatar is the same as Swetha Varaha that is related to Swetha varaha kalpam. Can some one be decisive in their answer?
I know badrayana at more than one place cites jaiminis view in Brahma sutras, but there were other sages who wrote sutras and smritis after the culmination of Mahabharata, like deval, kapila etc how many of them have been mentioned in Brahma sutras?
Mid term Exams start from next week, after that I have project submissions and then a final exam. So I'll not be that frequent here, for the next few weeks. :)
Does God really exists physically, virtually or in any form?
or
Is God just a term intelligently used for psychological satisfaction and for making our life easy?
