A: What is the meaning behind Shiva with 26 heads and 52 hands in temple in Tamil Nadu?

He is known as: Maha Sadashiva Maha sadashiva is an extended form of Sadashiva. From Sanskrit, Maha means greater. Hence Maha sadhashiva is a greater form of Sadashiva. The significance is similar to Sadashiva, from Wikipedia: Sadasiva (Sanskrit: चताशिव, Catāśiva, Tamil: சதாசிவம் ), is th...

SwiftPushkar

@BhargavRao There are some spelling corrections in answer - see Maha-Kylasa should be Maha Kailasha ,Hindoo should be Hindu etc.

@BhargavRao There is a question by Keshav about 25 headed sadashiva carrying Vishnu in paramapadam. It is there in Pancharatra Agamas.

Bhargav Rao

@NogShine Perfect, thanks. I'll link that answer

Nog Shine

@BhargavRao Wait, there's more to it.

Bhargav Rao

Ok.

@Nog, I've gotta go, add in your answer, thanks!

(have an exam, so need to study :/)

Nog Shine

HH Chinna Jeeyar swami said that it is present in Agama scriptures. Jeeyar knows better than any indologists and there is also a temple constructed according to it. So, there is a reference to 25 headed Shiva but dunno where specific verse. @BhargavRao

@BhargavRao Okay study well.

@AnkitSharma Hello stranger o/

Q: What scriptures describe Sadashiva carrying Vishnu in Vishnu's abode of Paramapadam?

As I discuss in this question, the Sri Vaishnava sect (of which I am a member) places great importance on the Divya Desams, the 108 sacred places of Vishnu which are mentioned in the poems of the Alwars. Now two of the Divya Desams are not even on Earth! As I discuss here, there is Thiruparkada...

vishnu shiva vaishnavism sri-vaishnava shaivism

@SK There are no statutes of limitations. Again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But in this case, I actually do have an answer. Someone contacted Chinna Jeeyar Swami on my behalf, and he specified exactly which Pancharatra Agamas describe this. I just haven't posted it yet, because I haven't found them in English translation. — Keshav Srinivasan ♦ Dec 5 '17 at 1:16

@SwiftPushkar Yes, there are some mistakes in the ocr. I will correct them later. cc @BhargavRao

@AnkitSharma Going good. Have you found anything to overcome boredom?

Bhargav Rao

@NogShine I invited him over, let's see if he has found some evidence.

SwiftPushkar

9:24 AM

@NogShine Ok :-)

Bhargav Rao

Fwiw, in my answer, I've cited enough references, but a quote from a Purana or a Aghama, would make the answer more worthy.

Nog Shine

@BhargavRao likeely no. They are not translated into English. That's the only problem.

@BhargavRao yes, seen that. It can stand alone.

SwiftPushkar

@BhargavRao Yes , And the scripture should specifically mention about this form of SadaShiva having 26 heads and 52 hands. As the question .

Bhargav Rao

I actually have another question asking who is she

:p

But that's after exams

Okay, I'll turn off my computer, else, I'll not study. :D

SwiftPushkar

@BhargavRao may be maha shakti OR Adi para shakti

@BhargavRao haha Hinduism SE is highly addictive for me also .

Keshav Srinivasan

9:30 AM

@BhargavRao Hi

Nog Shine

Am I dreaming @KeshavSrinivasan is here!!

Keshav Srinivasan

@NogShine Haha

@BhargavRao It was @NogShine that contacted Chinna Jeeyar Swami on my behalf. Here is Chinna Jeeyar Swami's reply:

"Jai srimannarayna
Your question is genuine. Let them look into the Padma Samhitha, then Sriprasna samhitha etc.,
If they read the ‘yoga pitta parikalpanam’ they can find these details.
=chinnajeeyar="

@BhargavRao I haven't found English translations of any of these three texts yet.

SwiftPushkar

@NogShine Did u contacted him personally or through mail ?

@KeshavSrinivasan We can translate if we even get the verse or chapter no. etc. are these two avaliable in sanskrit ?

Nog Shine

@SwiftPushkar I got email of the organisation. Getting an appointment and talking to them personally is difficult

Bhargav Rao

@KeshavSrinivasan Thanks! Let me know when you find a reference. The book which I have cited, has clearly mentioned that the 25 headed form is mentioned in Skanda Purana.

SwiftPushkar

9:37 AM

@NogShine oh ok .. and because of his tours/lectures etc. also

Nog Shine

Actually, I didn't expect a reply from them. Asking exact reference is a silly thing. It feels bad and disrespectful.

Bhargav Rao

(On mobile now, else I would have linked the book from the answer. Sorry for that)

Keshav Srinivasan

@SwiftPushkar Yeah, the Prashna Samhita and the Padma Samhita are both available ońline in Sanskrit.

SwiftPushkar

@KeshavSrinivasan Ok :-)

1,609 questions are unanswered .. Lets all of us also try to find answers of them otherwise the backlog will continue to increase .

@AnkitSharma Its just a symbolism , all forms are combined. in one supreme form which is higher Maha or Para from which all other forms originate.

Nog Shine

@AnkitSharma Great, @AJ is not here on Hinduism. So, you know who will edit your post ;)

Ohhh! u already did it?

Q: Are any boons/curses issued in Rig Veda?

The poets pray for cattle and so forth and pray to rudra not to harm them but there doesn't seem to be boons and curses recorded in rig veda. One would think boons and curses would be mostly puranic. So, do we find boons/curses anywhere in Rig Veda?

@BhargavRao How can one correct a typo in the tag name?

Bhargav Rao

7:25 PM

@NogShine You need to edit it individually, even mods can't rename tags easily. (CMs can, or perhaps they're quite experienced so they know how to do it easily)

Nog Shine

@BhargavRao I wanted to correct boons to boon since it seems better and goes nice with curse. now, I have to wait for 24 hours

Bhargav Rao

Hmm, I think a mod can add "boon" there.

Nog Shine

Will wait for tomorrow. Mod intervention is not necessary

BTW, did you see, Shog asked a bug report and got fixed within 24 hours.
