    Donigerism and Kripalism

    AnDAl is a girl's name, lol.

    Donigerism and Kripalism

    Yes, and it appears that Sil heavily quotes from sAnyAl, who is the individual who I referenced for the "****" comment for the lIlAmR^ita, since I have his (sAnyAl's) text. Is that why you think I was supporting kripal, some strange indirect connection? I think you should actually refute MY...

    How to start ?

    praNAm Treks, This is off topic, but wow, it seems I used to mess up my recitation (when I was still a Sikh). I used to say ehO chalt mOhI (not iv chalt mOhI), har charaN kamal (not har charaN kaval), and terai nAm vAsA (not terai nAi vAsA). I guess my little nitnem gUTkA must have modernized...

    Parse Legends and Traditions

    Actually saurabha can refer to anything born from kAmadhenu (i.e. surabhI), which according to the bR^ihatparAsharahorashAstra (adhyAya 31, I think?), would refer to any human, animal, rAkShasa, etc. So yeah, we have a saurabha in Hinduism; millions in fact. :p Whether the sorabh that shahz is...

    Digambaras in Northern Climates?

    You're missing the point, I'm talking about from a strictly historical perspective, in which case it's unlikely that he lived 40,000 years; the same applies for the chiranjIvI-s, sure. :D

    Donigerism and Kripalism

    None of your points addressed my quotes, so I don't see the point. My verses about rAmakR^iShNa touching the penis of little children and what not were taken from a translation from estudantedavedanta.net translated by shrI mA trust and the vedAnta society (which is comprised BY HINDU-s), not by...

    Pronunciation of the word "Celt"/"Celtic"

    Both you (EyeofOdin and Poeticus) and the Irish people correcting you are wrong to an extent. In Gaeilge, the word would be spelled as Ceilteach (pronounced kind of like "Celt-ukh") in which the "C" isn't a hard sound nor an "s" sound, although I agree that it's closer overall to the hard sound...

    Digambaras in Northern Climates?

    Well, kassapa (presuming you're speaking of kassapa buddha and not mahAkassapa [who was a disciple of shAkyamuni buddha, just like Ananda]) likely never existed (no one lives to the age of 40,000 years, lol); the first historical buddha was gautama buddha.

    Digambaras in Northern Climates?

    It's okay, I also made a mistake in the response to you. I was on my iPhone when replying and accidentally wrote BBC rather than BBA (bhaktivedAnta book association) or BBT (bhaktivedAnta book trust) because it "spell-corrected" :rolleyes: me, and I didn't notice the change, lol. Wait, what...

    Digambaras in Northern Climates?

    I agree, although it should be written vaiShNavism (or vaiṣṇavism in IAST), and not as vaishNavism, since vaiShNava comes from viShNu (with a ष्) and not vishNu (with a श्) [it ***ses you off when I proofread, so I'm gonna keep doing it until you can deal with...

    Digambaras in Northern Climates?

    I am of the view jaina dharma predates the AjIvaka-s and bauddha-s by at least 300 years, if not more. The very early tIrtha~Nkara-s, if they existed at all, likely didn't teach the same principles of present day jaina dharma; however, pAshvanAtha, who probably dates to around the time the...

    Kabalarians? (Name analysis-ology)

    Really, I always though kabbalah was Jewish: קבלה לעם No, actually I don't. :)

    Overlapping Deities, Medium Polytheism

    Well, shakra is indra and indra is shakra, hence why the bauddha-s often call him "shakra devAnAm indra," meaning shakra, indra of the deva-s, and the veda-s also refer to indra as shakra, like in the phrase "átÍdu shakrá ohatendro víshvA áti dvíShaH...bhinát kanÍna odanám pacyámAnam parógirÁ"...

    Digambaras in Northern Climates?

    If digambara jaina muni-s did move to Britain or Canada and still wanted to abide by all anuvrata-s, then I presume that they might even be arrested for public indecency, or they might be hit by a woman (or in the case of a sAdhvI, perhaps hit by a man) for exposing their private parts, like...

    I have no idea. I'm not really into jyotiSh. :p
