    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...

    Let' s change Hindu back to Santan [Vaidic] Dharma

    Really, merely a "historical reformer" and not svayam bhagavAn? Not all Hindu-s would agree with that; I know I wouldn't...;)

    Researching Ahmadiyyat

    I meant that in Urdu, we would use akhi. Even if you were speaking in Arabic though, why would it be akh and not akhihi (wouldn't you use idafa rather than mansuub)? I'm not very good at Arabic, lol. Also, aaghaa is a turkic or dari word I think, in urdu we use aaqaa, :D. Also, you were once a...

    A dream of death.

    That reminds, me...I need to make a Lunar Home of the Vedas book and see if I get any gullible followers, lol...

    A dream of death.

    How does one arrive at THAT conclusion merely from a statement regarding ashes being placed in a box which is in turn thrown into the mud? How strange, lol...

    A dream of death.

    Wait...what? I don't get the joke....Is the joke the randomness of your comment?

    Book club

    Actually, it could mean either "truth surely/indeed triumphs" or "truth alone triumphs," because in some cases eva means indeed. Also, iva, which comes from the same root as eva, usually means exactly (for example, "tathaiva" it means "exactly like this").

    Brahman and Reincarnation

    Dang, I can't believe I made such a ridiculous typo (writing "who's" rather than "whose") and didn't notice it until now! I'm usually able to distinguish between possessives and contractions (like their and they're), but ones like "whose" and "who's" and "its" and "it's" are so annoying, lol. I...

    Let' s change Hindu back to Santan [Vaidic] Dharma

    Exactly. It still is, at least in part, Indo-European, right? It can't be completely coincidental that the ancient Celts referred to themselves as people/descendants of the Water Goddess (Tuath(a) Dé Danann) whereas balinese people (who, judging by this picture, might have adopted Hinduism from...

    Yes... Also, I mean you in particular.. :)

    Let' s change Hindu back to Santan [Vaidic] Dharma

    Why would you not want to consider the R^igveda as not only Indian and "Indo-Iranian," but also "Indo-European" in general? How else can you explain how a Vedic/Hindu goddess like dAnu (who is still worshipped by people in balidvIpa, see here) was worshipped practically half a world apart by the...

    Let' s change Hindu back to Santan [Vaidic] Dharma

    Really? I always thought that most linguists view Eastern Europe as the most likely origin place, around 3500 BC: Yamna culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Let' s change Hindu back to Santan [Vaidic] Dharma

    I don't want to go all MV on you, but... HYMN XXX. Viśvedevas. 1. NOT one of you, ye Gods, is small, none of you is a feeble child: All of you, verily, are great. 2 Thus be ye lauded, ye destroyers of the foe, ye Three-and-Thirty Deities, The Gods of man, the Holy Ones. 3 As such defend and...

    Does Hinduism acknowledge Jesus as an Avatar?

    praNAm You seem a bit paranoid, almost to the extent at which you don't seem to know what you're talking about (sorry, I had to say it, :p). Firstly, Max Muller was not a Hindu in the traditional sense, he was a British-German Indologist who did research on Hinduism. He did have some interest...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Both abuses? Wait, what are you talking about? If it was just harAmI, then yes, I agree. However, lUN harAmI (ਲੂਣ ਹਰਾਮੀ) means the same thing that namak harAm does in urdu or hindI (i.e. ungrateful person/traitor). In fact, it's pretty much a...

    ZeeTV commercial "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - The World is my Family"

    I don't watch Indian television anymore (or even Bollywood films) either, but I do occasionally (if I'm in the mood) watch old serials. Some of the ones that I used to like are Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan, Kasam Se, Naagin, and Vishnu Puran. I stopped watching ZeeTV around the time when Pavitra...

    Confused about Sikhism/Hinduism differences

    Nonsense, it means someone who is ungrateful or treacherous, as I explained before. Also, the phrase lUN harAmI was part of the aNga that the sikhiwiki people quoted, I'm just clarifying that they translated it incorrectly. Wow, you know more about sikhism/punjAbi history than most sikhs I...

    any Kashmir Shaivites here?

    That swAmI who is the great fearful one strives to connect with [or free] those who [presently] exist in saMsAra. By the anvartham-s (meanings/evidences) of the guru-s [and] in the shAstra-s, this kAlabhairava is praised .
