@BhargavRao @Pandya @TheDestroyer @KeshavSrinivasan How should be the edits reviews when the edit is done to the translations quoted material which are subjected to copy right? There was an edit which altered the meaning in the quoted text.

A: Is the ritual of killing an animal as offering to Maa Kali correct?

It's not mandatory to sacrifice animals in Devi or Kaali worship. But goat or animal sacrifice is considered as non-killing. The animals which are sacrificed to the Divine Mother will go to heaven. This is mentioned in Chapter 26, 3rd book of Srimad Devi Bhagavatam. This chapter describes proced...

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine I have also approved that.

Nog Shine

@TriyugiNarayanMani I rejected because it was a translation and is copy righted.

Now, the material is totally removed by indianscriptures.com

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yeah. Seen that.

@NogShine I approved only because he has done right translation.

@TriyugiNarayanMani If it was a part of the answer and not quoted I would have no doubt but this is a case of a translation. The right is with the translator.

But I think you are right because it was quoted text

@NogShine Yeah. I do agree

When I saw the edit reason, I was about to click on appprove but held back because it was quoted text.

@NogShine Yes. I approved because of comment only

Nog Shine

@TriyugiNarayanMani I voted after some edits.

But I don't agree with an answer posted on meta that one should be conversant with entire scriptures to vote to close as off-topic and primarily opinion based.

Because many Puranas say that Hanumana is the son of vayu.

But I have not read anywhere Hanumana as incarnation of Vayu

Nog Shine

7:27 AM

@TriyugiNarayanMani Hanuman as an incarnation. There are shlokas where Hanuman is said to be the son of Vayu and is eual of him. So, that will count as avatara. Also, the point of view is from Madhwas. Madhwas consider it Vali to be Indra, Sugriva to be Surya. So, Hanuman is an incarnation of Vayu only. He has the same power as his father.

@TriyugiNarayanMani You can directly ask @SuryaKantaBoseChowdhury

BTW, Did you return from Kashi?

Q: Do we have any account of Nand and Yashoda's daughter's afterlife?

In Shreemad Bhagavatam, we have read that infant Krishna was replaced by an infant girl by Vasudeva. This girl was the daughter of Nanda and Yashoda and when Kansa tried to kill that girl she changed to a goddess (not sure but I think Devi Durga or Yog Maya) and informed Kansa that his kaal is so...

I don't know why users here only emphasise on 'A' in the Q&A and forget other words.

Some users didn't understand it ands suggested edit only to be rejected.

and they use capital letters in transliteration. Don't know which one it is. ITRANS doesn't have capital letters as first letters for the words they use.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine where?

Nog Shine

@TriyugiNarayanMani there are many posts.

like they use Bhagavad GItA which is a wrong transliteration.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine yes

Nog Shine

and also PurAnA to which the correct one is purANa

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine yes

Nog Shine

7:49 AM

and when I corrected once, they rolled back or overruled saying their books have the transliteration like that the wrong one.

So, I stopped correcting them.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine Oh. BTW I will catch you later going for lunch.

Nog Shine

But according to the guidelines, there should be correct transliteration for sanskrit words.

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes, catch you later.

Q: Was/is there animal sacrifice at dakshineshwar?

Since it is a Kali temple, animal sacrifice probably does take place there. Did Ramakrishna Paramahamsa sanction it? How about Vivekananda?

Q: Do scriptures talk about performing samskaras for non Hindus?

I have seen Americans who didn't seem to be Hare Krishnas get Hindu priests to perform sacraments for the success of their business. Are Hindu priests allowed to do this according to scriptures?

Q: do Hindu scriptures talk about which relatives you may marry?

In Southern India, Hindus can marry first cousins - in other words you and your wife may have the same grandparents. Also girls can marry their uncle - mother's brother. Obviously the law sanctions this - but how about Hindu scripture?

Q: Dhyana and controlling anger

Lord Shiva do Dhyana almost all of the time. Then why can't he control his anger? There were some very famous Rishis known for their bad tempered. How also they unable to control their anger? N.b.- It may be a bad question but seriously I had doubts so consider it a serious question

Man I don't like this person at all, why he even exists:

There is no evidence that scriptures can foretell anything. Iyappan is obviously a local Keralan God that was integrated into mainstream Hinduism (he has virtually no following in north india). If any scripture mentions him, it must be a "back forecast". Rather like how Krishna-vasudeva were deified in the north. scroll.in/article/814754/… — S K 2 hours ago
