Q: What were the Buddha's agreements and disagreements with Hinduism?

Although Hindus didn't call themselves Hindus when he lived, he would have been born a Hindu. What factors pushed him away from Hinduism? I can think of two - He was against the caste system and did not believe in the authority of the Vedas or Vedic sacrifices. But still there must have been en...

Q: How many souls are there in our universe?

When Lord Krishna was advising Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, Sri Krishna told that no one dies if we kill them.Those who are killed, start their journey as jiva and these jiva cannot be destroyed or created The jiva who lost their body finds another body and start to live in it. If this cycle is rep...

Q: Can we be mature about close voting?

This is an issue I have observed lately on main site. Pinpointing the close voters in comments. When a question is closed by the community, some users are losing their patience and and pointing and targetting close voters in the comments saying why is this off-topic, why is this primarily opini...

@Akash.B There are. But mostly they're immigrants from India.

Same goes with Islam as well.

Nog Shine

Akash. B

Meta time?

Nog Shine

Yes, Meta Time

Have you visited our Hinduism Meta @Akash.B ?

Akash. B

@TheLittleNaruto Why our Hinduism was not propagated throughout the world?

TheLittleNaruto

05:23

Well.. it's not like that. Hinduism is everywhere around this world in some way.

At least the Teachings of Hinduism is everywhere, that I can guarantee you.

Many Schoalers from different world from different religions visit India, meet respective Guru to learn the very concept of Hinduism

Akash. B

oh

TheLittleNaruto

You must feel proud after knowing that

Akash. B

TheLittleNaruto

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine I have. Good question.

@TriyugiNarayanMani The body is the same I guess. There were additions but not the modifications to remove opinion based parts. — Sarvabhouma 25 mins ago

Nog Shine

@TriyugiNarayanMani OKay. I got it. But I am talking in general. Many users don't participate on meta.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

That question was closed as primarily opinion based.

I have closed because of its title

Now it can be closed as Unclear

Nog Shine

@TriyugiNarayanMani Hahaha. Yes

Triyugi Narayan Mani

05:52

@NogShine Yes.

Users pointing at others while doing the same thing

Nog Shine

@TriyugiNarayanMani ? I don't understand

@NogShine - ok :-)

Triyugi Narayan Mani

07:41

@SwiftPushkar Ha ha. I also noticed that.

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes :-)

@TriyugiNarayanMani -Nice find :-)

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SwiftPushkar Thanks

SwiftPushkar

ok got it . :-)

@TriyugiNarayanMani - hinduscriptures.in/scriptures/puranas-18-puranas-mahapurana/…

Nog Shine

@SwiftPushkar :o Is it a mirror site?

SwiftPushkar

@NogShine - I think they changed the name , and this is link provided by them to old site , which was called Indianscriptures.:-)

Nog Shine

This is UTTER NONSENSE - blaming the victims. — S K 2 mins ago

Triyugi Narayan Mani

08:46

@NogShine Ha ha

@SwiftPushkar Yes, they have changed their domain

Nog Shine

They removed Buddhism scriptures and other religious scriptures

Triyugi Narayan Mani

May be they are still migrating as it is present on the new site. hinduscriptures.com/category/hindu-scriptures/…

@NogShine

Nog Shine

I see

Triyugi Narayan Mani

Or may be not as they changed the name to hinduscriptures.in

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yeah they changed the name but on the new site , only links are provided , no actual content is inside those links , and you are correct may be they will still be migrating .

Triyugi Narayan Mani

08:53

@SwiftPushkar Yes, before 1 week the same condition was with indian scriptures too.

they were incomplete

Nog Shine

Does replacing indian with Hindu make all the links in the answer work as before?

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine No

.com with .in

and may be some more

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani - yes , i was too much worried , because i have provided lots of links from that site in my old and new answers, i was thinking to delete them but it is online now , hope the links are intact.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SwiftPushkar Same with me

We need to edit links

I think there must be some way of doing it collectively @NogShine

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yup , but let us first confirm whether they are still functioning or not , it will be tedious task.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

08:56

@SwiftPushkar Yes

SwiftPushkar

2-3 links in single answer , so i will need to update at least 200-300 links 😀

Triyugi Narayan Mani

:)

Nog Shine

Hinduism Stack Exchange will be changed to Swift Pushkar Stack Exchange

SwiftPushkar

But the good thing is mostly we have provided the sanskrit verses with translation so not everything is lost .

@NogShine 😯 why and How ?

Nog Shine

@SwiftPushkar if you edit your answers with new links, main page will be flooded

;)

SwiftPushkar

09:05

na not going to do in one time , its a slow process , it will not even get
noticed .

Nog Shine

@SwiftPushkar I'm joking. We have a limit per day to edit our own posts. I think we can't edit more than 15 I guess.

SwiftPushkar

@NogShine -oh i was not aware of that , thanks ..

@TriyugiNarayanMani unfortunately they even changed the address of links of Archived indian scriptures site , , so all our links are lost , old or new:(

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SwiftPushkar yes

Q: Can we have some tools to handle link rot?

There are many links posted in answers, and some in questions, that are either stale or broken. An example is the change to Ant on-line documentation this year to do away with separate 'Optional' and 'Core' tasks areas in the documentation - the old links 404 now. I've fixed a bunch of 'optiona...

Source The Mantra you have quoted is from Garuda Purana - Achara Kanda - Section 1 - Chapter 30 - Verse 8 . " Shreedhara (vishnu) Vidhi Dharma" . But is little different. This mantra is used in worship of Shridhara manifestation of Lord Vishnu. ॐ ह्रीं श्रीधराय त्रैलोक्यमोहनाय विष्णवे ...

see both our links are lost :-)

Triyugi Narayan Mani

Ha ha

Nog Shine

09:14

I would just delete those links instead of modifying. Answers are stand alone ones already

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine Yes. In most cases

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani BTW motilal versions of puranas are available on archieve.org , we can simply replace those links also ,instead of deleting them , but the work will be even more slower then . @NogShine

Triyugi Narayan Mani

Yes

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SwiftPushkar You can always edit my posts

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani - ok did it ,

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SwiftPushkar Thanks

SwiftPushkar

@SK hii nice 2 see you here :-)

Nog Shine

@MetaBot lol

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani You edit my answers and add corrected links to them and i will do the same for you , in this way we both will earn copy editor gold badge of editing 500 posts. 😀 @NogShine

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SwiftPushkar Ha ha good idea

Nog Shine

@SwiftPushkar Hahaha

Triyugi Narayan Mani

I will try

SwiftPushkar

@TriyugiNarayanMani don't worry 😀, i will provide links 2 you , you just edit the post

@SwiftPushkar Is this site EVER going to lighten up?

Nog Shine

@SwiftPushkar I am a Copy editor but I am active now also.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine congrates :)

SwiftPushkar

@SK i think everybody is a responsible member here and all are part of a community , who's responsibility is to maintain quality of this site .and MODS and META are there in case of any violation , even we can directly mail to SE team. But i think if you change the way you are asking questions an try to add some more details & some clarification about the purpose of the question , your posts will receive no close votes and downvotes.

@SK I mean people are taking all your posts in negative way just because of that reason , Even some of your posts are really useful and users upvoted your posts wholeheartedly also.

S K

10:03

@SwiftPushkar I am not concened about me alone. This site is GRIM, like a funeral parlor - with policemen trying to remove all color. Hinduism is not like the best sorting algorithm - there has to be give and take. At any rate, capitalism will decide the fate of those responsible - if they stand in the way of ad revenue, they have to change or they'll be gone

SwiftPushkar

@SK See we are not here to criticise hinduism , or for reforming purpose , this is database site , the data should come from scriptures mainly , no matter what is written over there , if we are doing work for the hinduism we have to accept its views and texts.

S K

@SwiftPushkar So you are saying it IS like the best sorting algorithm "just the facts ma;am"

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine what is infinite-pings ?

S K

@SwiftPushkar At any rate the inner clique gets in enormous sectarian propaganda - but most of the regulars have accepted it, like lower back-pain. but once ad revenue gets involved - things will sort themselves out.

SwiftPushkar

@SK Hindu scriptures are the best algorithm for Hinduism SE , not necessarily others , its not a science /Technology IT site where modern views and definitions are only valid. Here what is ancient is valid.

Nog Shine

10:10

@TriyugiNarayanMani Thanks.

@TriyugiNarayanMani It means you can ping any one here infinitely. ;)

Triyugi Narayan Mani

Great :)

Nog Shine

@SK Yes, I hope it will be sooner. when hate between users is removed and all respect beliefs of all the people.

Anyways, Welcome to Hinduism Chat.

This sectarianism has been a problem in other religious sites like Christianity and Islam too. When they overcame, why can't we?

SwiftPushkar

@SK "inner clique gets in enormous sectarian propaganda - but most of the regulars have accepted it" - Everybody has their rights here , we cant say no to anybody , if we start quarreling , that will ruin whole purpose , and it will be waste of time .

S K

@SwiftPushkar are most posters from so-called "upper" castes? They get absolutely vicious when caste system is discussed.

Nog Shine

@SK There are posters from all the communities, castes in fact from other countries also.

SwiftPushkar

10:19

@SK Not necessarily , generally caste is no bar here as this is international site . So this is not the problem of cast. But all are experienced users , so they know how the things work here.

Did somebody flagged something over here?

Nog Shine

No.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

I don't think so

SwiftPushkar

ok users are joining chat room , so i thought ..

Nog Shine

It is good thing actually.

SwiftPushkar

@NogShine haha

Nog Shine

Some body voted to close my meta question. ROFL XD

Meta is for opinion based questions.

and discussions.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@NogShine Good. It will get some traffic on your post then

S K

@SwiftPushkar Something is terribly wrong with this site. It is controlled by a minority sect, the rules are absurd, there isn't the tiniest shred of a sense of humor.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@SK This is not true. This site has all kind of person.

SwiftPushkar

@SK "controlled by a minority sect" - No nobody is controlling this site . But the community is .

Triyugi Narayan Mani

Spam

SwiftPushkar

10:33

did you read the flaged messages ?

Triyugi Narayan Mani

yes

Nog Shine

By downvoting they support pinpointing users. Is that what they mean? I am sure that the close voter don't know what is meta. It is a discussion post for God's sake.

@SwiftPushkar I read too

SwiftPushkar

@NogShine ok all

Q: do scriptures define what a "sect" is?

Nog Shine

What does Sada Shiva has no kalaas and Bhuvanas?

TheLittleNaruto

Kalaa is part of Maya Tattva

Nog Shine

I don't remember the name but others have 2 bhuvanas, some have 26 bhuvanas. What are these planes then?

TheLittleNaruto

16:51

I don't know yet. But whatever I read so far, by that I can assume 'em as ranking/label of respective kalaa

@JourneymanGeek is a guy among our SE users whom I really want to see on this site.

Tagged him so that he can read... xD

Nog Shine

Especially on meta.

@The. I also understand that kala is about some sort of ranking but Bhuvana is one confusing me.

Kalaa is not a ranking.

It is product of Maya.
