@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes we hv become 2nd class citizens now ... haha ....
 
@Rickross Yes :)
 
Ha Ha
 
I think we should do some kind of expiation :)
 
Ha Ha
Chkd the questions nothing to answer .. :D
 
@Rickross Yes, lot of questions but nothing to answer.
 
7:04 AM
Ha Ha
Asking good questions also is difficult ...
that has been answered in the scriptures
Can u answer the yawning weapon Q?
What is it called in Sanskrit?
Haha
 
@Rickross No it was only used at that time AFAIK
Jrimbhika weapon
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani Ok
Then u can answer that no it was used only at that time and quote a reference
otherwise the Q will remain unanswered
 
Then they will ask me if I know all scriptures
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani Haha
all sorts of problems ..
 
I haven't been good experience with that user
 
7:08 AM
@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes
I was chatting with him under his Meta Q last nite ..
 
@Rickross Seen that.
I think you can answer this one:
1
Q: What is the meaning of the "...........vidmahe....Dhimahi....prachodayat" formula?

S KHere is an example I took from another post here: bhaskaraya vidmahe mahaddyutikaraya dhimahi | tanno adityyah pracodayat There are lots of variants of this formula. What is the context in which this formula is used and what does it mean?

 
Another Q is there What does belief in Vedas mean? That's IMO asking What is the meaning of the word belief? So off-topic for me :D
 
@Rickross yes
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani But wht to answer there? too easy I guess
Btw hv u gone through all unanswered Qs tagged with MB and Ramayana?
 
@Rickross Its asking for some kind of formula
 
7:12 AM
You can answer many of them
@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes for me it looks like he is asking the meaning of the 3 words vidmahe, dhimahi and prachodayat
 
@Rickross I used to. There are some good question but difficult to answer and there are some questions that I don't want to answer.
 
or may be he is asking why this general format is used in all Gayatris
 
Yes, its unclear to me.
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani don't want to answer? ok understood :D
 
Same for pan-indian question
@Rickross :)
 
7:14 AM
@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes which other festivals are there? He named 2 already.. Ekadashis are also celebrated all over but not as festivals I think?
 
@Rickross For me too, Ekadashi is right answer.
Ram navami is also not celebrated all over the india
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes but they will say if it's celebrated like festivals?
@TriyugiNarayanMani Oh in which places not celebrated?
 
@Rickross Yes
@Rickross I think ram navami is mostly celebrated in north india
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes
@TriyugiNarayanMani There is a Q: On what basis the Mahavakyas are chosen?
This can be answered by using Paingala Upanishad. One user called Naveen Kick recently added the answer to another Q.
That Upanishad itself says that these are the Mahavakyas..
 
@Rickross yes
 
7:21 AM
People think that it is a man made classification but it is not
 
Yoou should answer then
 
Besides that I hv also found other minor Upanishads talking abt Mahavakyas (although they do not say which are those Mahavakyas)..
@TriyugiNarayanMani Actually I hv asked that user to answer .. It will not be right for me to answer because I did not know abt the source before seeing his answer
ethical problem :D
 
@Rickross OK
@Rickross yes its fine
Its time for lunch. So, I have to leave now.
 
@TriyugiNarayanMani Ok but wait
see this comment before going :D
I hv discussed this with my friend T.N. Mani according to whom it was only used on that occasion — Rickross 47 secs ago
