@SreeCharan when some user continuously votes on the same users post in same time... then that voting is reversed... it's called reversing of serial voting...
@SreeCharan I also had voting reversed in Hinduism SE while I used to live in previous hostel... It was because my roompartner wanted to join Hinduism SE and he used my mobile but different browser ..
@SreeCharan I think he voted nearly all of my posts... He was (is) a staunch devotee of Shiva... and I primarily write answers related to Shiva... I think he voted nearly all answers which glorify Shiva...
I'm not sure whether other users votes were reversed or not...
There is a story behind his disappearance, he didn't die.
There are many misconceptions about this because some people do not study the Vedic texts properly and out of curiosity and half-knowledge makes some baseless conclusions like Lord Krishna died from just an arrow by Hunter Jara.
The Stor...
Lord Krishna disappeared from the material world at the age of 125.
Brahma said to Krishna in Srimad Bhagavatam 11.6.25 —
O Supreme Personality of Godhead, O my Lord, You have descended into
the Yadu dynasty, and thus You have spent one hundred twenty-five
autumns with Your devotees.

Is this really needed in the answer - There are many misconceptions about this because some people do not study the Vedic texts properly and out of curiosity and half-knowledge makes some baseless conclusions like Lord Krishna died from just an arrow by Hunter Jara.
@anuvaramban He is Gaudiya Vishnava or ISKCONite. So, they answer from Supreme Perspective of Krishna. He can't digest the statement that Krishna left his body after getting hit by arrow.
@RakeshJoshi I was talking about the part where he says, "There are many misconceptions about this because some people do not study the Vedic texts properly and out of curiosity and half-knowledge makes some baseless conclusions"
Yes, other Puranas do mention about prophecy of Adi Shankara. As per Kamakoti Site, there are references to Adi Shankara being Avatara of Lord Shiva in Kurma Purana, Markandeya Purana, Aditya Purana, Shiva Purana and Linga Purana.
Among them, i found exact verses in Chapter 30 of Kurma Purana.

The blue (Nila) and red (Lohita) colour represent Purusha and Prakriti. Since both Prakriti and Purusha merge in him, he is called NilaLohita. Linga Purana 2.18 states it as:
नीलश्च लोहितश्चैव प्रधानपुरुषान्वयात् ।
स्कंदस्ते यतः शुक्ल तथा शुक्लमपैति च ।।
He is of both Blue and Red colour...
@SreeCharan I think Shyama means dark. Meghavarnam in case of Vishnu. You can see Venkateswara Statue which is svayambhu and it is black. But I think Nila is blue

@Tezz If Nila + lohita = Purple or violet, VIBGYOR. Starts with Violet ends with Lohita. Shiva resides in all frequencies. haha. Even in all Spectrums.
I want to learn Sanskrit. Can anybody guide me how to start???
Because I know Marathi, Hindi , English three languages I can not justified which medium will help me to learn Sanskrit in easy and perfect way.
I'm interested to know:
Is time an eternal aspect of the cosmic multiverse or is it specific to our particular universe?
How is this concept of eternity handled? Is it only future looking or is eternity to be understood as union of infinite horizon over past and future or is it something else e...
@ABcDexter Hitler thought that original Aryan race was Germans. This all happened when historians claimed that Aryan race came to India from central Asia and Europe and they invented Sanskrit. Due to excessive fanatism for divine Aryan race, world war 2 happened. (Fanaticism of hitler and persecuted jews.)
@ChinmaySarupria Interesting, can you point to the verse that talks about this?
@ChinmaySarupria it's a bit abstract i agree but some examples are: How is the passing of time experienced, is this same for everyone? if so what aspect is same? (all of this in consideration/accordance to the vedic verses on the same)
The depiction of Gods is not accurate these days. See my question about Brahma depicted as old here.

Adiseshu wipes out all others except Nara and Narayana who become as incarnations of Arjuna and Krishna. As the story unfolds only Krishna and Arjuna match wave lengths. Can any one give more clarity to this topic on which I have a vague Idea. I am very keen to know it from anybody
@anuvaramban I am not sure of any verses talking about past but seeing in the past in technically possible, practically not. Take for example - Betelgeuse, it's a star located 700 light years away from Earth which means light from it takes 700 years to reach Earth which further means the Betelgeuse we see in night sky is of 1300 and no 2017! Because the light of Betelgeuse in present time is still travelling and hasn't reached us and won't reach us till year 2700.
@anuvaramban Now let's apply the same logic with one condition that we are now present on Betelgeuse instead of Earth. If we were present on Betelgeuse now, i.e, 2017 we won't be able to see what is happening on earth in 2017 because the light will take 700 years to reach Betelgeuse. But here comes the interesting part - the light currently present on Betelgeuse is 700 years old, that means we can see the start of Mughal dynasty or whatever happened around 1300.
If we have to go further back in time, we will have to go to a much farther planet or star so that light will take more time. Ex - If you were born in 1990 and were 1 year old in 1991, then you could go to a place that is 26 light years away, on that planet light of 1991 will arrive and you will be able to see yourself when you were 1 year old. Similarly, you can go to a farther galaxy like the Andromeda or any star that is far enough to see the time of dinosaurs.
If at the moment, we humans somehow put a gigantic poster on the face of earth so that someone could see it but technically, the same poster could be seen infinite times because all you need to do is go to far away places and witness the same thing all over again.
But there are some problems - first we humans must make something that will help us go to such places but an advanced spaceship won't help as it can never cross the speed of light so we won't be able to see past but here there are 2 possible solutions - either you are a yogi and can travel with the speed of mind, you think of a place and instantly land there or you create what is known as a wormhole. It's a concept, scientists are working very hard on it, not much information is available
but they are optimistic that it can help connect one universe to another or 1 point in space to another. Let's say such wormholes and spaceships are created and we are successful in going to another place in a blink of an eye, how will we watch what's going on on earth from a star located far away? We need instruments that can enable us to zoom a lot so we can clearly what's going on.
@ChinmaySarupria I am aware of this effect due to finiteness of speed of light, how is this a property of time though? It is a property of physical light na.
@ChinmaySarupria Have you heard of the Alcubierre drive?
