A: Why do Indian women wear bangles?

The tradition of wearing of bangles in India began in ancient times. Even today, womenfolk love to enhance their feminine grace and beauty with the help of bangles that are available in variety of forms. The word bangle has been derived from the Hindi word bangri or bangali, which in S...

Is this a Hindu Goddess? If yes which one and what do they represent?

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - sorry i was not here , i will see that

Tezz

@TheDestroyer I think she is Buddhist deity...

SwiftPushkar

will be back in 30 min :)

The Destroyer

@Tezz I found reference for Pippalada story in Brahma Purana.

wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-brahma-purana/d/doc57576.html

But it is not available in the Brahma purana i have.

@Tezz Ohh. ok.

SwiftPushkar

3:10 PM

@Tezz - looking at head gear of the image , it seems like , this is some kind of dancing apsara , and of southeast asia style , maybe related to Apsara dance from cambodia or so... nor sure but searched :)

@Tezz - and if its a godess , it may be one form of dancing form of Godess Saraswati

The Destroyer

3:40 PM

@KeshavSrinivasan I found a story of enmity between Garuda and Adishesha son in Brahma Purana.

@KeshavSrinivasan I saw this question. Are you sure it was Adisesha?

Q: When did Vishnu's bird Garuda try to kill Vishnu's serpent Adiseshan?

As I discuss in this answer, the Pancharatra Agamas are the foundational texts of Vaishnavism. Similarly, the foundational texts of Shaivism are known as the Shaiva Agamas, aka the Shaiva Tantras. One of the Shaiva Agamas is known as the Parakhya Tantra, and it takes the form of a dialogue betw...

mythology vishnu adisesha agamas garuda

Tezz

@TheDestroyer oh ok... so another story added...

The Destroyer

3:53 PM

@Tezz BTW, in Brahma Purana, Shiva doesn't open His 3rd eye. Pippalada sees Shiva's 3rd eye in mediation and after seeing his 3rd eye, he was able to create a Demon.

@Tezz He didn't open his 3rd eye.

This is mentioned in ch 40 Gautami Mahatmya of Brahma Purana.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer but it can also be added on answer... as a side note...

@TheDestroyer so did you found in version of Brahma Purana you have...?

@SwiftPushkar yes she might be Saraswati
.... but there was similar question asked previously... I'm searching but not finding...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz @TheDestroyer - look at the hand , its like the fig. is doing some magic act or so ..Anyway @Tezz -Interesting find :)

one usual member absent ?@KrishnShweta

Tezz

4:14 PM

@SwiftPushkar haha... magic act..

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - may be "performing some magic is the right sentence" :)

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar also what is that nailcutter or key chain or माला ...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - the spheres are very small so its more related to Nail-cutter hanging one

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar yes.. I also think the same...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - some kind of special "Mudra" or so

@Tezz - dose shivas third eye also represent concept of "All Seeing Eye" @TheDestroyer - what you think ?

The Destroyer

4:30 PM

@Tezz Yeah. I will add that too.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer I found another user deleted account...

The Destroyer

ohh.. who?

Tezz

See the comments on this answer here: meta.hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/290/…

I think his name is Sandeep...

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar haha. He had fight with me.

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar it also represents that concept but... it represents much more concept than that...

Q: @Sandeep. Don't remove Mythology Tag while editing questions

I appreciate your efforts of improving grammar and format of some questions and answers but why do remove mythology for questions asking Puranic Stories? This clearly conflicts with author's intent. Please see My concern about the use of mythology tag, Keshav's answer about meaning of word Myt...

discussion

@SwiftPushkar I think Shiva's third eye is exactly same as results we get after activating Ajna Chakra.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer it is not exactly same I think... we won't get power to annhilate everything

@TheDestroyer so his accounts were deleted or he himself deleted his account...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz @TheDestroyer - yes agree , that the concept of shivas third eye is more broad than "all seeing eye " @TheDestroyer - exactly wht i was about to ask , i mean "whts the concept of that related to us :)

The Destroyer

@Tezz Yeah. Only only Iswara or Saguna Brahman has power of creation, preservation and destruction.

@Tezz don't know. How did you know this?

Tezz

@TheDestroyer furthermore I haven't heard anywhere where other than Shiva/ Shakti annhilates something using third Eye...

@TheDestroyer I was just visiting some meta questions... and I saw those comments there...

SwiftPushkar

why some user names wont showed as hyper- links , and only names ? in comments @Tezz -ohh ok :)

The Destroyer

4:39 PM

@Tezz Yes. That is correct. Only Shiva can annihilate using 3rd eye. Even Jeevanmukta can't. ohh wait, what if Kapila wasn't incarnation of Vishnu. Could he able to burn Sagara sons to ashes?

Tezz

Deleted accounts....they are...

@TheDestroyer it is in case of universal annhillation only... otherwise we also destroy many mosquitoes...

The Destroyer

@Tezz Can we annihilate Kamadeva (literally not metaphorically) like Shiva?

with 3rd eye

Tezz

These sons are like mosquitoes for sages... @TheDestroyer I think we can destroy Kamadeva by other means... but not sure whether Humans can use their third eye for destruction...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz @TheDestroyer - can you people spot some unusual pattern of getting point in this as it looks that user has got lot of upvotes during short time hinduism.stackexchange.com/users/7295/… , this is just ,the thing i saw , and not that serious , but regarding to our previous discussion about ref. of quora

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar Don't worry. If he does anything mischievous acts, he will get serial upvoting or downvoting.

SwiftPushkar

4:45 PM

@TheDestroyer- ok :)

Tezz

@TheDestroyer ok...

The Destroyer

@Tezz ohh. ok. Got you.

Krishn Shweta

@SwiftPushkar Oh!! OK..

@KrishnShweta @TheDestroyer - whts abt rain over there , here mostly clear

Krishn Shweta

@TheDestroyer 1. Raghavan, 2. Sandeep?

The Destroyer

@KrishnShweta What 1 and 2?

Krishn Shweta

5:09 PM

@SwiftPushkar Hmm... Rains almost stopped.

SwiftPushkar

@KrishnShweta - @TheDestroyer is talking abt removing comment so the modarators names given

Krishn Shweta

"(at)SwiftPushkar haha. He had fight with me." @TheDestroyer you said this...

SwiftPushkar

@KrishnShweta - on what ?

The Destroyer

@KrishnShweta I also had fight with Krishna.

hahahahahaaaah

Krishn Shweta

@TheDestroyer Thank God you understood.

SwiftPushkar

5:12 PM

@TheDestroyer @KrishnShweta @Tezz - do you people keep fast "upavas" during 9 days of navaratri ? me only for 2 days start and end

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar i think No. I followed only for Siva rathri. That is my first Upavasa.

Krishn Shweta

@SwiftPushkar before I used to be fasting for 9 days.(2 years back)

SwiftPushkar

@TheDestroyer - ok

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar I do not keep Upavaasa in Navaratri at all... although Navaratri is greatest festival here... but most people do not take Vrata...

Krishn Shweta

@TheDestroyer I guess there are more than one Krishna here.

Tezz

5:15 PM

@KrishnShweta yes Gaudiyas believe that...

The Destroyer

@KrishnShweta Yeah. At least Sandeep has no relation with Krishna.

@tezz She may not get your jokes :P

SwiftPushkar

@TheDestroyer @Tezz @KrishnShweta - here mostly ladies keep fast for 9 days , and during 9 days we recite "shree suktam" many times

Tezz

@TheDestroyer haha...

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar Ladies are saviors of Sanatana Dharma.

Krishn Shweta

@TheDestroyer Really I didn't get :(

SwiftPushkar

5:17 PM

@TheDestroyer - yes , i also said this to @KrishnShweta once :) like that

Tezz

@TheDestroyer make her understand... haha...

Krishn Shweta

:/

The Destroyer

@Tezz @SwiftPushkar @KrishnShweta Why @KeshavSrinivasan is not active from past 2-3 days?

He might be watching US debates.

SwiftPushkar

@TheDestroyer - ya i aslo given him call some time ago , by mentationing

Tezz

@TheDestroyer yes... he just came about 5 hrs ago and told Shiva purana was separated into Shiva And Vayu purana...

That's only in the past 2-3 days...

The Destroyer

5:20 PM

@Tezz Yeah. He usually comes here by this time.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer he is also not making his questions active...

The Destroyer

@Tezz Yeah.

Krishn Shweta

@KeshavSrinivasan Trin trin........

Tezz

@KrishnShweta I think he is not omniscient like someone....😀

The Destroyer

@KrishnShweta like Tezz

Krishn Shweta

5:26 PM

@Tezz I think he is Tezz like someone

@TheDestroyer LOL.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer no like you...

SwiftPushkar

hey guys , we must also take care of our eyes regularly, cause we do so much screen \mobile activity , i think washing eyes with cold water helps and also we should look in some other direction away from screen after some time :)

The Destroyer

@Tezz Why me, you, her, him, it? Everything is Maya. We are all Nirguna Brahman :P

Tezz

@TheDestroyer hahaha...

@TheDestroyer so now we should discover new language for conversation...

For eg... if I ask what are you doing ?

If we ask what are we doing?.. (converted)

The Destroyer

@Tezz English got screwed up due to Advaita.

Tezz

5:30 PM

@SwiftPushkar yes... I just looked upwards...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz @TheDestroyer @KrishnShweta - i think @KeshavSrinivasan is omniscient as he is modarator and can see the chat activity without enetring chat room , my guess

@Tezz - ha ha ha , like that :)

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar anyway your advice is nice and we should follow it...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - thanks :)

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar In every Manvantara there will be a person named "Keshav Srinivasan" who will uplift Sanatana Dharma by living in Krauncha Dvipa Aindra Kanda.

Tezz

That is my theory...

SwiftPushkar

5:33 PM

@TheDestroyer - ha ha but you should cite sources

The Destroyer

through his online works. Yeah Credits @Tezz

Tezz

Source: Purva Mimamsa Sutras...

The Destroyer

How Purva Mimamsa Sutras ?

Tezz

On the other hand the priority of the word is already spoken of. (Sutra 29)

We have already established the eternity of the word ; so every word whether human or divine is eternal. The objection is therefore groundless.

My words are human words... and they are eternal... Haha...

The Destroyer

@Tezz what does it mean by eternal?

Keshav Srinivasan

5:37 PM

@TheDestroyer "In every Manvantara there will be a person named "Keshav Srinivasan" who will uplift Sanatana Dharma by living in Krauncha Dvipa Aindra Kanda." Haha

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz whats 90006 below your name ?

Tezz

@TheDestroyer every words are eternal ... even if object destroyed... the idea persists through name...

@SwiftPushkar its nine thousand and six...

Krishn Shweta

@SwiftPushkar That's his rep.

Keshav Srinivasan

@Tezz Concerning Aranyakas, I've also argued with brahma jijnasa about this. He thinks all scriptures, including all Shrutis and Smritis, are eternal word for word.

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - ha ha ha thank you guruji for expalning the fig in words :)

Tezz

5:39 PM

@SwiftPushkar you are welcome...

@SwiftPushkar but actually you have written ninety thousand and six..

@KeshavSrinivasan so Smritis also eternal word by word means... Ramayana Mahabharat all happens exactly same way always...

Keshav Srinivasan

@Tezz Well, I don't think he believes that, because he has also told me that he thinks that different chapters of the Mahabharata may take place in different Kalpas. Like he thinks previous Kalpas' Mahabharatas have been mixed with the text of our current Kalpas' Mahabharata. That is how he resolves the problem of contradictions, because he refuses to accept that anything is an interpolation.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer for eg... if you destroy all Jugs of the world... then the idea of the Jug still exists through the word Jug... thus the word Jug is eternal... Swami Vivekananda has nicely explained this in one of his works... I forgot...

Keshav Srinivasan

@TheDestroyer "I saw this question. Are you sure it was Adisesha?" Yeah, the Parakhya Tantra says it was Adiseshan. So that Brahma Purana story must be a different incident. By, the way, does the Brahma Purana say that this fight happened on the Nishada mountain?

Tezz

@KeshavSrinivasan oh Ok...

The Destroyer

@Tezz ok. Abstract representation through names?

Tezz

5:46 PM

@TheDestroyer something like that...

Keshav Srinivasan

@Tezz @TheDestroyer According to the Purva Mimamsa Sutras, words do not denote individual objects, they denote categories or classes of objects.

Tezz

@KeshavSrinivasan yes..

The Destroyer

@KeshavSrinivasan Even proper nouns?

Tezz

@TheDestroyer actually the term proper noun doesn't exist in Sanskrit language. ....

Everything is Attribute...

The Destroyer

@Tezz ohh. What do they call Bharatha varsha then?

Tezz

5:52 PM

Thus we have many names of Gods and Sahasranaam of Gods to represent them...

@TheDestroyer for convenience sake we call Lotus as Pankaj or Kamala in Sanskrit... but everything which grows in mud can be called Pankaj... and similar for Kamala...

Khagesh = which flies in sky... but we use this term for Garuda...

The Destroyer

@Tezz ohh. ok. Sanskrit is interesting.

Tezz

Vishnu = who is pervasive... we use this term fir four handed god who....

SwiftPushkar

@TheDestroyer - in devnagari खगेश

Tezz

@TheDestroyer thats why Gau described in Vedas can mean light... due to it's etymology... not always cow...

The Destroyer

@KeshavSrinivasan No. But Garuda and Mani naaga, son of Adisesha, fight in vaikunta before Lord Vishnu.

Tezz

5:56 PM

@TheDestroyer Vrishava described in Vedas can mean holder... and so on...

The Destroyer

@KeshavSrinivasan But Garuda redeems from his bad actions near Gautami tirtha of Triyambakeshwara region to Somnatha in gujarat.

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - but if we look carefully khagesh means lord of flying ones as eagle is often called or represented as powerful "ish" khaga plus ish , what u think ? like gana dhe ish ..

The Destroyer

@Tezz Ok. I think this is same for all languages, thought they devised proper names to identify things, as every name has meaning.

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar yes but it is not always true that eagle will always be Khagesh...

@TheDestroyer Sanskrit is based on different concept... there are around 2202 root words called Dhatus and all words are formed by permutation and combinations of these Dhatus...

Like the dhatu Khag means To fly

Gam means To go

And so on...

The Destroyer

@Tezz ok.

Tezz

6:03 PM

So every words can be broken into it's etymology...

So if one knows Sanskrit Grammer he doesn't need Sanskrit dictionary....

Because words themselves has meanings...

But this is not case of English language... one can't derive meaning just by looking at the word in English....

The Destroyer

@Tezz ok. But even English too can be broke into roots.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer then break the word Root itself... how do you break?...

Break the word Word

Break the word Break

The Destroyer

@Tezz Some words are derived from greek and latin. English is mix of many languages.

merriam-webster.com/dictionary/root

SwiftPushkar

hay all check this pdf abt learning to read sanskrit google.co.in/…

The Destroyer

@Tezz Middle English, from Old English rōt, from Old Norse; akin to Old English wyrt root, Latin radix, Greek rhiza

@Tezz As Sanskrit is one of oldest languages, this method is working perfectly.

Tezz

6:10 PM

@TheDestroyer but rõt doesn't have always that meaning in all Sanskrit words... like Rot means to decay...

Also the word Route

The Destroyer

@Tezz Yeah. We need to know other languages to know meanings of root words in English

for some words.

Most are based on greek.

@Tezz I understand what you say about Sanskrit.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer Ok...

@SwiftPushkar Ok...

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz - yes you are correct , sanskrit is self explanatory

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar good find. :)

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz Does Lord Shiva wear only Naga snakes?

Tezz

@TheDestroyer what do you mean by Naga Snakes?...

The Destroyer

@Tezz Only Naga serpents. not all snakes.

SwiftPushkar

6:21 PM

@TheDestroyer - do you mean cobra and other snakes @TheDestroyer ok

Tezz

@TheDestroyer I don't know... main snake is Vasuki... but I think there are other snakes in his wrists, waists, back etc... too...

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar Yeah. King Cobra

@Tezz Yeah. I feel people on Deviant Art and other Artist are not depicting Naga Snakes on Shiva paintings.

SwiftPushkar

@Tezz @TheDestroyer - i think they are all king cobras and not ordinary poison less snakes

Tezz

@TheDestroyer but I think Vasuki is Sarpa not Naaga...

The Destroyer

@Tezz No vasuki is Naga. He is also called as Nagaraja.

Tezz

6:24 PM

Oh no no... we also call Nagaraja Vasuki

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar @Tezz i think only Naga snakes are helpful to devas not all snakes. That's the reason we only pray to Naga Snakes.

SwiftPushkar

@TheDestroyer - wiki says vasuki is nagraja so he is NAGA

Tezz

@TheDestroyer yes... Surasha is also Naaga Mata who helped Devas to test Hanuman...

SwiftPushkar

Vasuki

Vasuki is a nagaraja, one of the King serpents of Hindu mythology and Buddhist mythology. He is a king of the nagas and has a gem called Nagamani on his head. Manasa, another naga, is his sister. Vasuki is Shiva's snake. He is known in Chinese and Japanese mythology as being one of the "eight Great Dragon Kings" (八大龍王 Hachi Ryuu-ou), amongst Nanda (Nagaraja), Upananda, Sagara (Shakara), Takshaka, Balavan, Anavatapta and Utpala. == Nagamani of narmatha == Vasuki is famous for coiling around the neck of Shiva. Shiva blessed Vasuki and wore him as an ornament. The most famous legend in Hinduism in...

The Destroyer

@SwiftPushkar yeah. In Mahabhartha Vasuki is described as Nagaraja, BhujangaRaja and Sarparaja.. all kind of Rajas..haha

Tezz

6:27 PM

@SwiftPushkar I don't think he is Naga because wiki says... rather I think he is Naga so wiki says it... haha 😀

@TriyugiNarayanMani Thanks! Aithreya Brahman says Andhra people are descendants of Viswamitras though SB says Andhras as Mlecha. May be "Andha" became "Andhra".

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@Tezz Ramcharitmanas says it as " surasa naam ahin ke mata" right?

Tezz

@SwiftPushkar ok Good night...

The Destroyer

@TriyugiNarayanMani But it doesn't say anything about cursing them to become blind.

@SwiftPushkar Good night.

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yes...

Triyugi Narayan Mani

6:40 PM

@TheDestroyer yes quite possible

@TheDestroyer yes there is no any mention of andha

The Destroyer

@TriyugiNarayanMani Yeah. My Telugu teacher said this when i was in 10th. May be he read somewhere.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@TheDestroyer ok. So you are looking for the reference of Andha only or the reference of story other than Ramayana?

The Destroyer

@TriyugiNarayanMani My main intention is to know whether Andhra people are descendants of viswamitra not.

@TriyugiNarayanMani origin of name is secondary.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@TheDestroyer ok

The Destroyer

@TriyugiNarayanMani BTW, i searched Aithreya Brahmana, there's no word called "Telugu"in it.

Q: Wherein Aithreya Brahmana of Rig Veda has the word "Telugu"?

The Etymology of Telugu is believed to be derived from word "TRILINGA" or Trilinga Kshetras. Those three Shiva Temples are Kaleswaram, Bhimeswarama and Srisailam. With time Trilinga became Tenugu and Tenugu became Telugu. These three Shiva Temples are present in three regions (Kosta Andhra, Te...

@Tezz you can find full text here archive.org/stream/aitareyabrahmana04hauguoft/…

The Destroyer

6:51 PM

@TriyugiNarayanMani i think either they have different version or they could have added later to show telugu is very old language.

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@TheDestroyer may be

Tezz

@TriyugiNarayanMani yes, I know it...

The Destroyer

@Tezz We don't have critical editions of vedas right?

Tezz

@TheDestroyer why do Vedas need critical edition...?

The Destroyer

@Tezz I thought different people had slight variations of vedas excluding Samhitas.

Tezz

6:55 PM

@TheDestroyer Samhitas and Brahmanas do not contain interpolations...

Aranyaks slightly contains (as per some scholars)...

Condition of Upanishads as you know...

The Destroyer

@Tezz All Hindus have same contents in Vedas? Critical edition is agglomerate of different versions and it includes all possible authentic stories.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer all have same in same Shakha...

Triyugi Narayan Mani

@TheDestroyer @Tezz @KrishnShweta good night friends.

Tezz

@TriyugiNarayanMani Good Night... Have a Nice Dream...

Krishn Shweta

@TriyugiNarayanMani Good night.

The Destroyer

6:58 PM

@Tezz Ok. So, all Hindus must have same Aithreya Brahmana. But why do they claim that? I'm actually doubting their claim now.

@TriyugiNarayanMani good night.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer yes All Hindus have same Aitreya Brahmana... undoubtly....

I just searched google.com/m?q=Telegu+word+in+Aitreya+Brahmana

And do not find any such claims....

The Destroyer

@Tezz I will try to find Aithreya Brahmana in Telugu language.

Telugu

Telugu is an Indian language spoken in the southern part of India. It is the official language of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is one of the twenty-two scheduled languages of the Republic of India. Telugu is the second most spoken language in India and 15th largest spoken language in the world. As it is one of the oldest languages in the world, Government of India gave it the status of a Classical language. Aitereya Brahmanyam which is a part of Rigveda (literature dates to 7000 years before CE) written thousands years before CE, has mentioned Telugu. Telugu also finds mention in Rajatarangini...

Tezz

@TheDestroyer you mean Telegu translation...?

The Destroyer

Yeah.

@Tezz This article might be written by a hardcore telugu language lover as you can observe it from his words and sentences.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer it is not talking that Aitreya Brahmana contains the word "Telegu.

It is telling it contains Telegu word...

It is referring to the word Andhra

The Destroyer

7:03 PM

@Tezz It says it mentions telugu language.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer and it doesn't cite source also...

The Destroyer

@Tezz "Aitereya Brahmanyam which is a part of Rigveda (literature dates to 7000 years before CE) written thousands years before CE, has mentioned Telugu"

Yeah. It doesn't cite sources.

@Tezz How it could mention language without using word Telugu?

Tezz

@TheDestroyer it is referring to the Telegu language... the word Andhra...

The Destroyer

@Tezz Andhra and Telugu are different things.

Tezz

He is only speculating that...

The Destroyer

7:06 PM

@Tezz telugu is derived from trilinga.. Andhra is tribe.

Tezz

I think he is telling Andhra is Telugu word and as A.B. mentions it.... so he is thinking Telugu language is mentioned...

The Destroyer

@Tezz Andhra is mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer in any case you can be sure that that wiki article is wrong because..

The Destroyer

@Tezz but not sure about language of Andhra people.

vedabase.com/en/sb/12/1

Tezz

Wiki is based on western indologist which date Aitreya Brahmana to about 700 800 BCE and that article is claiming...

Aitereya Brahmanyam which is a part of Rigveda (literature dates to **7000 years** before CE) written thousands years before CE, has mentioned Telugu"

The Destroyer

7:10 PM

@Tezz I think the person who wrote article's intention is not to put Aithreya Brahmana to 700-800BCE old but his intention is to say Telugu is 700-800 BC years old to popular claims of 300 BC years old.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer Aitreya Brahmana 7.13 -18 also mentions the word Andhra..

The Destroyer

@Tezz If you say Aithreya Brahmana is eternal, you know the person will become elevated to Satya Loka.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer no he is putting Aitreya Brahmana to about 5000 BCE ....

@TheDestroyer what do you mean by elevated to satya loka?...

The Destroyer

@Tezz He says 7000BC

Tezz

@TheDestroyer yes...

@TheDestroyer but I don't understand your sentence.. " If you say Aithreya Brahmana is eternal, you know the person will become elevated to Satya Loka"

The Destroyer

@Tezz Well, the happiness he feels is equal to happiness one enjoy in highest regime of material world.

Tezz

@TheDestroyer but Aitreya Brahmana is eternal as it is Veda.

The Destroyer

@Tezz Yeah it is eternal. I'm not sure whether Telugu is mentioned or not. I will see in telugu language or other edition of Aithreya Brahmana.

Tezz
