@KrishnaShweta I was waiting whether someone would ask me this but you're intelligent :D.. Pranan is different from Prana. Prana is vital air out of primary 10 vayus but Pranan is ultimate shakti of supreme which is there at top of head for us.

When will users know that title is not the question?!

Vague and one liners without improvement are reopened blindly.

Q: Who is Sridhara Swami Advaitin or Vaishnav?

Sridhara Swami is generally referred as an Advaita commentator but this site https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/bhagavad-gita-1-1/ says Sridhara Swami of Rudra sampradaya. Which is true?

Nog Shine

4:06 AM

@AkshayS Questions which have nothing in the body are not questions and closed as unclear. That is the way.

Akshay S

4:16 AM

@NogShine Yes... that's why I added the comment to be specific in the body on what basis does the author wants the answer. And to me, question is not unclear and the author perhaps would have missed to add content in body. Are women not allowed to read vedas or is there restrictions on women is the question. Its not unclear and if author can add and be specific in content, it will give perfect picture to answer. This question is not unclear and at the same time its unclear to answer

Nog Shine

Do not reopen/leave open questions which have nothing in the body and only title.

@AkshayS Personally, every question is good and everything will be clear. But close voting doesn't have personal opinions. If different people have different views, it is obviously unclear and a bad question. But people are voting to reopen many such questions.

Akshay S

@NogShine I didnt click leave open option but instead I skipped because that question can be changed and we must give 1 chance for author to rephrase it

@NogShine This is not personal view because title makes it clear what OP expects but if they can add further content in body, it can be answered. I give suggestions only for which it can be improved.

Nog Shine

A question can be always reopened if it is clear enough. It is only putting on hold not deleting. But every time 1 chance to the OP and users reviewing will give wrong reviews every time. There won't be no closing of such questions.

@AkshayS Title is only introduction. It is not question. Question is the body.

Nothing is present there.

titles should be short and simple. Body should be detailed.

Akshay S

@NogShine That's correct but if we look at from author's perpsective, he could have added the question in title itself. That's why suggestion I felt is needed!

@NogShine how long questions will be on hold?

Nog Shine

@AkshayS So, we should not close one liners? In that case, we should not delete one liners too?

Adding question in the title is not the right way..

Moderation should go on..

allowing such question will become a practice and users think that is the good way to write questions.

Akshay S

4:27 AM

@NogShine I am not saying we should not close all one liners because not all post have same quality or clarity in title itself. Depends on questions. but if we look at certain questions, we can definitely realize certain questions can be given a chance

Nog Shine

@AkshayS Titles need to be clear. They are just introductions. It is the body which matters.

Akshay S

I am always cool in discussions because difference of opinion is always Maya :P

Q: 'Playing football takes us nearer to heaven rather than reading Bhagavad Gita' but how and why?

That famous line above was uttered by none other than Swami Vivekananda. I admit that I haven't gone through the complete speech yet, but I am curious to know what he meant by that. Did he mean that being a karmayogi in the path of salvation is more suited to today than any other path or did he ...

bhagavad-gita philosophy karma vedanta vivekananda

No one says this question is unclear based on title.

Akshay S

@NogShine Ohooo... then come lets play and go to Moksha :P

Nog Shine

Read that faq post.

Akshay S

4:33 AM

@NogShine The question is clear... what is unclear?

Nog Shine

@AkshayS The title is not saying what the question is. Is it?

It is clear because the body is detailed.

Same applies to all questions.

Akshay S

@NogShine We cant fix a standardized rule because application of each question is different...

Even if we have that rule, we should be able to see whether this question can be given a chance or not

Nog Shine

@AkshayS Fixing rules is what discussions and Meta is for. There are guidelines to follow which post to close or delete. There are clear rules to follow. It is people who have different opinions. Different opinions and misunderstanding is not the same as not having standard rules.

@AkshayS Moderation and improvement both should go on. One should not stop for the other.

Akshay S

@NogShine Let me not get trapped in Maya. Lets finish this discussion :P

Nog Shine

@AkshayS Why do you always say Maya? Are you fond of it?

Discussions do not end here. Just a pause and break

;)

Akshay S

4:45 AM

@NogShine haha.... because without Maya, everyone of us are same.

@NogShine He never did any Yoga to be honest. He lived a life with his mother and wife, and when his wife passed away, he came to chidambaram.... His path was GYAN YOGA and in that he always told us to be 24hrs in vichara. Through Vichara reach immortality

He visited and did as per procedure deity worship to Lord Shiva and Parvati, got their darshan and his guru was Muruga...

@TheDestroyer ^^

The Destroyer

@AkshayS Vayu element is actually mentioned differently in different places. Technical aspects need not be edited in questions.

@KrishnaShweta what's point of showing it to me?

Akshay S

@TheDestroyer Here vayu is related to internal deity of 6 chakras. Muladhara being AUM Kara, then next 5 = panchaboothas, and 7th is Turiya.

Krishna Shweta

@TheDestroyer nothing. I forgot sorry.

The Destroyer

@AkshayS Actually, it conflicts author's words. Let such things be corrected through answer or through comments. We can only edit grammar or such things.

@AkshayS do you believe in spirits?

Akshay S

@Akash.B I dont believe

Akash. B

@AkshayS any reason for that?

Akshay S

@Akash.B because they are reality :D

I'll tell you one thing. This belief is duality concept. If you believe in God and if someone gives another reason and says God doesnt exist, your mind will swing to that idea. So let us come out of belief concepts

Akash. B

Q: Expalaing the meaning of Atharva veda 4:32:2

This is what i found on an Hindu critique blog vedkabhed on wordpress. Boneless, pure, cleansed with the wind, brilliant, they go to a brilliant world. The fire does not burn their male organ. In Swarga they get plenty of women.” [Atharvaved 4:34:2] Is it actual description of distorted one.

Q: If there is a contradiction between Pratyaksha Pramana and Sabda Pramana, which one is more authoritative according to Advaita and Dvaita Vedanta?

According to this answer if there is a contradiction between Pratyaksha and Sruti(Like scriptures say fire is cold but we perceive fire is hot), only Pratyaksha is more authoritative according to Vishitadvaita Vedanta. I would like to know the same for Dvaita and Advaita Vedanta respectively.

Is there any preferable side according to Hinduism?

scripture ayurveda

Example is this. Vague question with vague tags.

"Is there any preferable side according to body". That's it

Reopened without any improvement.

Pandya

5:10 PM

@Zanna great!

@Zanna excellent!

@NogShine Yes, sometimes I observed they put whole two lines in title of question whereas body contains only half of line.

Nog Shine

@Pandya Nothing but that. They used to be closed in the past. Now users changed and reopening without looking at improvement.

Krishna Shweta

I guess @Pandya is writing answer. ^^

Nog Shine

If that is athava Veda answer, the blog used AWGP ranslation only.

vedkabhed.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/…

Pandya

@NogShine well, here agian community is divided whether to allow everything written in text or not. I'll probably write one meta when I will analyse and have a conclusion.

@KrishnaShweta which one?

Nog Shine

@Pandya What written in text? Did we ever have one unanimous discussion since last faq?

What's there to analyze? There are questions on MSE already and we followed the way in the past. What's the problem in doig the same now?

Pandya

5:26 PM

@NogShine have discussed earlier. You pointed that not everything written in text would be on-topic e.g. non-religious things.

Nog Shine

@Pandya I'm asking about questions which have nothing in the body but everything in title. Not about scope.

They were closed as "Unclear what you are asking in the past"

now freely upvod and reopened.

@Pandya Yes, I still stick to that. Destroyer also agrees.

Pandya

@NogShine didn you talk about re-opening without improvement?

Nog Shine

@Pandya Yes. The question was still oneliner and no improvvement into a detailed one. Still it was reopened.

Pandya

@NogShine Revision shows it was closed as off-topic not as unclear.

Nog Shine

@Pandya Yes, but we don't reopen and close again as unclear. Do we?

No user can do it because they can only vote to close once. While reopening, many things should be considered.

Pandya

5:33 PM

@NogShine unambiguous since last faq?

Nog Shine

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if it's unclear or off-topic but reopening because of wrong close reason doesn't happen anywhere on SE.

@Pandya Yes. Show me a meta post where there was unanimous decision.

Every time there's some useful meta, the answer comes as Community is divided. In those cases, one who says SE way and useful way in long term should be selected.

Pandya

What would be the solution steps according to you?

Nog Shine

Following network wide policies for general topics like comments etc.,

There is so much noise in comments.

Debates, discussions are going on. Sometimes, unfriendly comments and chatty comments

Zanna

6:01 PM

on AU we reopen questions to close them as duplicates if they are good quality

Pandya

6:16 PM

[Just for fun] Btw, I am just trying one poll. since the poll runs without signup and results are also visible it's expected to vote single time sincerely. Here is a link: linkto.run/p/PZ9PHU0P [only for SE users].

Here is direct result link linkto.run/r/PZ9PHU0P ; clicking on "show numbers" button you can see no. of votes on each option.
