Q: What is the story of the Asura Dhanvi attaining the position of Indra?

Keshav SrinivasanAs I discuss in this question, by far the most popular school of Hindu philosophy is the Vedanta school. But there are five other Astika or orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy: Purva Mimamsa, Samkhya, Yoga, Vaisheshika, and Nyaya. My question is about the Samkhya school, founded by the sage Kapi...

I found one spam link at Hindi page of दशहरा on wikipedia:
} दशहरा (विजयादशमी या आयुध-पूजा) हिन्दुओं का एक प्रमुख त्योहार है। अश्विन (क्वार) मास के शुक्ल पक्ष की दशमी तिथि को इसका आयोजन होता है। भगवान राम ने इसी दिन रावण का वध किया था तथा देवी दुर्गा ने नौ रात्रि एवं दस दिन के युद्ध के उपरान्त महिषासुर पर विजय प्राप्त किया था। इसे असत्य पर सत्य की विजय के रूप में मनाया जाता है। इसीलिये इस दशमी को 'विजयादशमी' के नाम से जाना जाता है (दशहरा = दशहोरा = दसवीं तिथि)। दशहरा वर्ष की तीन अत्यन्त शुभ तिथियों में से एक है, अन्य दो हैं चैत्र शुक्ल की एवं कार्तिक शुक्ल की प्रतिपदा। इस दिन लोग शस्त्र-पूजा करते हैं और नया कार्य प्रारम्भ करते हैं (जैसे अक्षर लेखन का...
 
@Pandya Happy Vijaya dashami.
 
Is there any provision of reporting spam so-that wikipedia can block ip?
 
There are three main types of spam on Wikipedia. These are: advertisements masquerading as articles; external link spamming; and adding references with the aim of promoting the author or the work being referenced. == Advertisements masquerading as articles == Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. Wikispam articles are usually noted for sales-oriented language and external links to a commercial website. However, a differentiation should be made between...
 
yeah, currently reading t hat one.
 
5:48 AM
Did you read the article?
 
To be honest, I don't much know how various functions of wikipedia work. That article is long, I over-viewed.
 
Which word is spam link?
 
Happy Vijaya dasami.
 
@Sinister you'll easily identify at hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
 
@Pandya Argh!
Was it a bird Was it a plane? No, it's @TheDestroyer Comes like lightning, leaves like a thunder. ;)
 
5:54 AM
@Sinister Keshav knows how to enter and leave even faster, like spark!
As Wikipedia grows in popularity, the temptation to misuse its editability to bring attention to other websites becomes nearly unbearable. At one end of the spectrum are professional spammers seeking to drive traffic to commercial sites. At the other end are webmasters of simple community sites who want to get more attention for their sites. This potential for self-promotion on Wikipedia must be managed—Wikipedia is not a "repository for links" or a "vehicle for advertising". Wikipedia exists for the purpose of creating a collaboratively edited encyclopedia, not for any individual to promote a...

Q: Will Muslims get punish for slaughtering cows for their own purposes?

user12153I know slaughtering cows is one of the top sins in Hindu mythology. So Will Muslims get punish for slaughtering cows for their purposes?

 
@Pandya I think we should make a meta discussion similar to this chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/15189/conversation/note
 
@Sinister for what purpose?
 
6:10 AM
@Hinduismbot @Pandya The same purpose you made the bookmark conversation. and posts like these.
@brahmajijnasa Is there a convincing reason to study other systems? They are preach division and there's nothing to learn from them. — Advaita lover 14 hours ago
And comments like these.
 
@Sinister The note is about Shiva vs. Vishnu debate and the recent post is different.
This doesn't look healthy question because of addressing people of other religion. And moreover it looks not a real question, just a discussion. — Pandya ♦ 1 min ago
 
@Pandya Some users who come here post something bad about other religions. Calling some philosophies great and others as bad. This can be applied to philosophical debates also. Bookmark conversations may not reach more audience.
 
@Sinister Well, I understand that we may have one meta post regarding guiding people but I think debating with other religions and debating different philosophies within same religion is very differnt things.
 
> I think debating with other religions and debating different philosophies within same religion is very different things.
But the both give a bad name on the site.
@Pandya They look same to me.

Q: Should we close questions related to Sanskrit language and grammar as off-topic?

SinisterSome questions on the main site seem to be about Sanskrit and not directly related to Hinduism. For example: Representation of number 0-9 in Sanskrit shloka Correct gender version of Sanskrit name तेजस्वी or tejasvī But while reviewing close votes, I saw a question (How can an elder address a...

@Sinister Hmm... I think we can't prejudge when will people start discussion on which topic. so, can't judge whether chat-event assertively work. I think the event of chat is IshvaraIchha. It can happen users come together discuss without any plan!

Q: ''Unscientific Claims from Hindu Scriptures''

Q: Is sindoor is necessary to apply?

kritiApplying sindoor after marriage is necessary or just a choice? Does god say anything about applying sindoor after marriage?

 
@Sinister Happy Vijaya dashami.
 
@KrishnShweta Wish you the same.
 
How are you and What are you doing?
 
I'm good Sinister and I'm reading active posts.
You?
 
8:49 AM
I'm good as well. Thanks.
I am in a process of making a post active.
 
Cool!!
 
9:01 AM
@Sinister I have two doubts.
from SB
> Lord Brahmā underwent penances for one thousand years. He heard this transcendental vibration from the sky, and he accepted it as divine. Thus he controlled his mind and senses, and the penances he executed were a great lesson for the living entities. Thus he is known as the greatest of all ascetics.
The lifespan of Brahma is 100 Brahma years. So wondering how he could penance for 1000 years.
Anyone? @Sinister @SwiftPushkar @TheDestroyer @TriyugiNarayanMani @Pandya ^^

Q: Is Goloka mentioned in the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam? If yes, what does it say?

Surya Kanta Bose ChowdhuryAccording to a website I saw yesterday, Goloka, the abode of Krishna is said to be mentioned in the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam. Is it really present? If yes, what does the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam say about it?

 
9:26 AM
Oh! good, You didn't leave yet.
@KrishnShweta There is a question by our @KeshavSrinivasan regarding 1000 year penances.
 
Link? ^^
 
@KrishnShweta which verse?
It could be devas years or human years.
divyam sahasrābdam amogha-darśano
jitānilātmā vijitobhayendriyah
atapyata smākhila-loka-tāpanam
tapas tapīyāms tapatām samāhitah
@KrishnShweta Sahasra also means "many" not just 1000
 
@KrishnShweta I found a question about 100 year yagna. I didn't find about this one.
 
Ohkk...
@TheDestroyer @Sinister one more doubt is there.
>Lord Brahmā said: O Personality of Godhead, You are situated in every living entity’s heart as the supreme director, and therefore You are aware of all endeavors by Your superior intelligence, without any hindrance whatsoever.
But Brahma didn't create anything yet. He was born, did penance and met Lord Vishnu. That's it. So how he could say "situated in every living entity’s heart as the supreme director"?

A: Where does Srimad Bhagavatam book 10 describe Krishna's son Upashloka and Pancharatra initiation?

SuryaSrimad Bhagavatam is one of the most widely recognised Puranas among the 18 Puranas, for its one-pointed focus on Bhakti. Thus it has been commented upon by many scholars from various schools of Vedanta, like: Sridhara Svami - Advaita Sampradaya (Adi Shankara) Veeraraghavacharya - Vishishtadva...

@KrishnShweta In this answer, user Surya gives a link for Bhagavatam with 5 commenatries. The commentaries are in footnotes.
 
@TheDestroyer Hmm... I just referred. Sahasra means thousand/any very large number and sometimes infinite too.
@Sinister Accha.
I will check
 
@KrishnShweta This type of wordings are common in Puranas.
@KrishnShweta Read Srimad Bhagavatam of Motilal. It has commentaries in footnotes.
Commentary by Sridhara Swami is most famous and oldest.
 
Ok Destroyer.
 
@TheDestroyer Where was that post asking unscientific fact? Self deleted?
@KrishnShweta Read the active posts now. I made a post active.
 
Good ^^

@Pandya, @TheDestroyer regarding following deleted Qn
I flagged to undelete. But got rejected saying dupes don't show up to unregistered users.
True. But they surely get indexed in Google. Once clicked they will lead to main linked Qn.
 
Owners deleting their own questions 🤦 Why?
 
@Sinister, see the flag. Mods may not be wrong in rejecting the flag. Only FYI
This Qn would be useful searching index in Google etc. Hence should be undeleted, yet closed. In my experience with the OP (user Rishabh), probably he thinks duplicate as taboo and hence has deleted. I don't have any chat room to contact him. Either a mod may invite him to a chat room (a Mod can do that) and ask to undelete or directly undelete and we may put a comment. – iammilind 1 hour ago declined - Duplicate questions don't even show up to unregistered users.
@KrishnShweta, "hello" to fellow pushti margi! :-)
 
Yeah, that's true. We have to contact post owners to say this. Deleting their questions may result in a temporary suspension too. Now, the work on low quality contributions is made strict and will come into force soon. So. we have to contact the user who deleted the post.
@iammilind Or you may contact them in one of his undeleted posts. If there's no way around. Let's wait for a moderator's reaction on this.

IkshvakuBecause the Brahma Sutras are almost impossible to understand without the appropriate context, and because very few people read them without the help of a commentary (like that of Ramanuja's or Shankara's), how did scholars know the meaning of each Sutra when the Sutras by themselves are vague? ...
