Namaskar! Since the current mod team is not much active, handling of flags may take time. I will be checking on sundays. You can ping me here if there's any spam/rude post that needs to be handled urgently. Thanks.
In this picture Shiva is shown showering gold coins just like mother Lakshmi is shown in many pictures of her. Which form of Shiva is it? I think God and Goddess who are receiving golds are Kubera and Mother Lakshmi.
@TheLittleNaruto - hows it going ? are you sure the best way to handle sv going on a bounty handing spree is by waiting for other members to respond on the meta question posted by Rickross
i am asking because you plan to stand for elections and it will help to know whether there will be bias for action from the new mod coming in . Please note that i am not asking you to post against or in favor of sv, but asking whether it is not something that mods should intervene and let their position be known
I might not be better person to ask. As I see they think I am backing sv. But actually I am just stating facts. I also feel there is some nitpicking war going on and sv succeeded in irritating some opposite users.
Also before you read this conversation, you must know our guy @SwapnilDas is learning astrology. And he has better understanding of it than us including sv.
@Mr_Green He was making nonsensical comments on Jyotish. As I started studying Jyotish as a skeptic myself, I calmly wanted to make him understand that it is natural to doubt the subject due to the ill-interpretations of the very subject by pseudo-intellectuals of the field. But instead of showing any desire to learn, all he wanted is to test people and Jyotish itself. So I flagged his comment for mods and kicked him out of the room. Subsequently, he served a 15 days ban from the main site.
Why Hindus do not accept Jehovah as god ?
As Jehovah is without arishadvarga
As Jehovah is better than lord Vishnu and Shiva who are struggle with arishadvarga
What bad qualities are there in arishadvarga
@TheLittleNaruto - I just found the story in Skanda purana , Will update the answer. See above screenshot of skand purana , will read the whole story and will update later.
@SwiftPushkar I think there one more form by name bhairav or something similar. I'll see if I can find the reference to that, will post an answer then.
@TheLittleNaruto -Partly because there are no more interesting active people remaining. So no interesting answers , debates , comments , chats etc. that makes job of moderation more boaring i think.
Is the Discussion sort of being rescheduled ? Participants seems to be departing :) @TheLittleNaruto
also, even though (finally) was able to add the email address & create a password, received an email notice for this at the Original email a couple hours ago: so if unschedule The Discussion, that would hopefully only be temporary to maybe let their system reset, if it will: maybe is a glitch, was 22 screens & 4 emails to process the above, which didNot function to do so several months ago, And SU didnot connect along with the other few sites and had to be logged into separately: but: the login and psswrd worked! sort of glitchy :)
:D if You have the Verses handy we can discuss them a bit :) am working for the next few hours; also, just misinvested an hour answering something that likely doesnot matter :) @HinduKid
Vidyam cavidyam ca yastad vedo-bhayagm saha, avidyaya mrtyum tirtva vidyaya-mrtam-asnute(11) " He,who knows at the same time both Vidya and Avidya,overcomes death by Avidya and obtains immortality by Vidya." (SwamiChinmayananda)
Here, it is said that he,who combines in himself/herself both vidya and avidya together, would overcome 'death by avidya' and obtain 'Immortality by vidya'. They must be considered as serially connected: Selfless dedicated work(Avidya) preparesone for contemplation,and when through contemplation Vidya is fulfilled in direct apprehension ofthe Self, thereafter the Perfect One undertakes karma as as a sacred satisfying fulment of his realisation and spiritual experience.
This Mantra says that certainly the experienced knowledge of the Self(Atma-jnana) would give us Eternal Liberation and Immortal Existence; for,thereby we shall discover that we are not the body-mind-intellect equipment to which belongs the irreparable change called death.Mortality is the tragic fate of the matter; Immortality is the blissful nature of the Spirit. possessiveness during his days of ignorance.
Besides, such great of realisation 'overcome death' that is caused by Ignorance(Avidya). Death can frighten only him who mis -understands himself to be the body, but to him, who has realised that he is the Atman, death is only one of the meaningless delusory changes in his body - zone with which he maintained a sense of
Andham tamah pravisantiye' sambhutu-mupsate. tato bhuya iva te tamo ya u sambhu-tyagm ratah(12)
"They fall into blindening darkness who worship the Unmanifested (Prakkrti); but those who devote themselves to the Manifested (Hiranyagarbha) enter into greater darkness"(Swami Chinmayananda)
First, action(avidya) as dictated by our desires,in order to bring us out of our inertia (tamas)into an active mentality of sprightly enthusiasm(rajas), and, thereafter, through a pursuit of desireless activity,onecan gainpurification of one's mind and intellect, as a preparation for meditation. Lateron, through steady and diligent meditation, the seeker gains the fulfilment of knowledge(vidya).
