இந்த ஊன் உடல் தேகத்தை, 3 மணி நேரம், எந்த ஒரு நினைவும் உணர்வும் அற்று அமர்ந்தால் - 3 மணி நேரத்தில் இறைவன் அவனை ஆட்கொள்வார், ஆட்கொண்டு அவனை கூட்டி செல்லவார் - வள்ளலார் - - ENG Translation: for one who does 100 years Tapas and triggers the Agni, the same Agni can be triggered in 3hrs. One who sits down with his body without any thoughts and experiences - his mind dissolved in supreme, within 3hrs, Lord Shiva will take that soul with him - Vallalar !

Q: Temple bell : Animal horn for ringing

VineetIn a temple (Shri Raam Temple, to be exact), I have seen the bell having a piece of "deere horn" tied inside to strike and ring it. What might be the reason? Is there any ancient reference for this?

@Pandya @TheDestroyer @KrishnaShweta @AkshayKumarS What do we do about this question? ^ For building temple, they should construct a stapathi. The OP was suggested that and the question is still open.

@AkshayKumarS any reference is valid. Only citations are enough
13:37
@AkshayKumarS Because if everyone quotes without any explanation, all the answers will be the same. There would be no specialty of a user. Already people are quoting from the same translations. Quotes are not needed. That is what help cnter says. Anything which supports our answer is fine.
14:27
@NogShine If that is the case I would have answered so many questions :P
@AkshayKumarS Go ahead then
@NogShine haha.....I have a question and clarification. Is Paramapadam outside of Cosmos?
@NogShine That's a good question. We think Universe as Cosmos. But where we have large number of Universes in one could be the COSMOS? Like Brahman -> Cosmos->Universe->galaxies like that

Q: Asking for Hindu references containing science vs asking for scientific explanation

hanugmAsking for scientific explanations or answers is off topic according to this. But what about asking for reference texts or Slokas that may contain scientific information. Is it off topic? If yes, then why? In a Q&A site of Hinduism, I feel that all aspects of Hinduism related questions should ...

Unless we do what we have to do, we cant expect any changes in our life. The key to peaceful life and to grow through every situation of life is - we need to do what we have to do. If we dont and are lazy or say its difficult, time will pass on. That's it...
16:35
@AkshayKumarS Yes! But in some cases only observing the situation is needed by doing nothing.
