    praNAm everyone, Is this verse from puRanANNURu speaking of satiprathA or not? I welcome any response, although it would be great if someone who is familiar with ancient (saNkam) tamizh could also respond...: நீர் வார&#3021...

    Question for person familiar with Vedic...

    I came across the following verse in the kaushikasUtram and it doesn't seem to make sense to me, although that might be because the language in the verse is very complex in terms of literary quality and quite repetitive in structure. Therefore, could anyone here translate the following for me...

    Animal Sacrifice in the Veda-s?

    When going through a Veganism thread in the Hinduism forum, I came across the following post which I couldn't quite understand, so rather than necropost on that thread, I thought I might as well start a new thread: When he states that during the jyotiShToma, a goat is sacrificed, I assume he's...

    Itihsapuram?

    I'm wondering how, if the Śatapathabrāhmaṇam supposedly predates the purāṇāni (according to Indologists), how they (Indologists) reconcile their claim with the mention of "Itihāsapurāṇam" in the text. Any thoughts?

    "Worst of Creatures"

    I have a quick question, which would you find more offensive?: 1) The statement that if the religion/ideology you adhere to did not exist (i.e. no one adhered to it), the world would probably/likely be better. or 2) The view that if you do not follow my belief system, then you are the worst of...

    Rewrite Puruasktam? :facepalm:

    Wow, it seems that Sāgarikā Ghosh (or, as I call her, Shaggy Goose) wrote an article about how we should rewrite the Puruṣasūktam back in 2006. Dang... I though her comment about Rāma was bad: Why is Hinduism always attacked, and since when did the...

    Parkash Diwas (Gurpurab) of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

    Since today is the birth day of Guru Nānak Dev Ji, I thought I should make a thread and we could post Gurbāni quotes we find interesting... I personally like the Anand Sahib (even though it's by Guru Amar Dās rather than Guru Nānak Dev Ji): 0Ez_YnPj-Ds I also like the...

    rrdhik in the rdevbhgavatapuram?

    I've recently been reading the Devībhāgavatam (reading the Purāṇa-s is considered a naimittikakarma in my sampradāya, :p) and came across the following verse, which piqued my attention a bit: श्रीनाराय&#2339...

    Why did both Avraham tell a half-truth about his wife?

    I'm not Jewish, but I like reading scriptures and texts from other cultures/religions and I have a question about a part of the Torah... In parashat va'yera, it says that when Avraham reaches Garaar, he tells the 'Abimelekh dude that Saaraah was his sister (yet doesn't tell him that she was...

    Sectarianism in ktism

    I recently came across the following verse in the Dvitīyollāsaḥ of the Kulārṇavatantram and it seems to be quite sectarian, a bit ironic since I've heard on these forums that Śākta-s are generally the least sectarian of all Hindu "sects," :rolleyes:... Here...

    Vaiava-dharmastram

    Koṭi-koṭi praṇāma to everyone, I have a quick question: has anyone ever read the Vaiṣṇava-dharmaśāstram? I've read other dharmaśāstra-texts (the Yājñavalkya-Smṛti, Nārada-Smṛti, and Manu Smṛti specifically), but...
