Eight components of Ayurveda

Can you verify edits like these [1]-[2]? I don't think they are adequate. You should also see Talk:Ayurveda#Eight components of Ayurveda. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:29, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Variations of Ramayana

[edit]

Nepal is not part of India! The information about the Nepalese version is included in the Variations of the Ramayana outside of India section! For you to call it vandalism is outrageous! (110.148.115.165 (talk) 07:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC))[reply]

110.148.115.165, [3] classifies all versions of Ramayana from the Indian subcontinent together. The Nepali version was added in "Regional versions" as such. --Redtigerxyz Talk 07:23, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Diwali

[edit]

Why did you remove references to Jainism?

Why did you remove reference to Harivamshapurana of Jinasena? It is the oldest known direct reference to Diwali?Malaiya (talk) 20:02, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Malaiya, the Harivamshapurana claim was based on a WP:PRIMARY reference. The claim also contradicts referenced text in the article that state that Diwali was mentioned earlier in 7th century Sanskrit play. Diwali (Jainism) deals with Jain celebrations. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/166786/Diwali Most encyclopedias define it as a Hindu festival. --Redtigerxyz Talk 06:51, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Redtigerxyz,

Removing references to Jainism and Sikhism and claiming it exclusively, presents a narrow perspective.
  • It minimizes the significance of Diwali.
  • It denies the shared traditions of the dharmic religions.

Note that

  • the very earliest mention to the festival of lights on the amavasya of Kartika (Purnimanta calendar of North India, Maharashtra follows Amanta)is found in Jain tradition, in Kalpasutra of Bhadrabahu.
  • the earliest mention of term Diwali is in Harivamshapurana as Dipali (Dipalikaya). The drama you refer to is Nagananda of Harshavardhana (incidentally a Buddhist text) that refers to some festival "Dipa Pratipada" There are no details and no dates. No month is given but presumably the tithi is pratipada.

I see that you can read and write Sanskrit. Thus you cannot claim not to understand Sanskrit texts. I can provide other references. What do you need?

Incidentally what do you mean by "it is primarily a Hindu festival"?

Malaiya (talk) 23:42, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Diwali article is about the Hindu festival. There are sub articles about Jain (Diwali (Jainism)) and Sikh (Bandi Chhor Divas). Most encyclopedias Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of World Religions, Britannica, Religions of the World: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices, Religious Celebrations: An Encyclopedia of Holidays, Festivals ..., Oxford dictionary, Random House Dictionary, Collins English Dictionary define Diwali as a "Hindu festival". The simultaneous celebrations in the Diwali period by Jains and Sikhs are covered later in the encyclopedia (OR not covered at all). Wikipedia follows the former in line with other RS. The claims about Bhadrabahu and Harivamshapurana need to be backed by secondary RS, which they were not when they were added in the article.Redtigerxyz Talk 13:53, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question on Padma Purana & Skanda Purana:

The article mentions: "The festival is mentioned in the Padma Purana (c. 701–1200 CE), the Skanda Purana (c. 701–1200 CE), and other Sanskrit Hindu scriptures". Do you happen to know where in Padma Purana and Skanda Purana and what other Sanskrit Hindu scriptures?

Padma Purana has detailed discussion on Kartika Vrata in the Uttarakanda appendix, but I did not see any mention of Diwali. You are probably familiar with Skanda Purana with its connection with western India (often cited in context of NagaraKhanda and SahyadriKhanda). The term Dipavali is there but it has nothing to do with a festival.

Article states: "Many see Diwali honouring the return of the god Rama, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana from exile of fourteen (14) years, as told in the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana" There is no mention in either Valmiki's Ramayana or Tulsidas's Ramacharitamanas. Since searchable texts for both are available you can check that instantly.

Pratipada is not amavasya.

Incidentally I should mention that I created articles Hindu Temple Society of North America, on the first Hindu temple in USA, Jai Jagdish Hare and its author Shardha Ram Phillauri, among others. Malaiya (talk) 00:59, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Dance on VA

[edit]

Hi Redtigerxyz, I've always respected your contributions to Indian related topics on Wikipedia:Vital articles/Expanded. It's come to my attention that there are no Indian dance forms on the list. I think Indian classical dance or Bharata Natyam will be a good addition to the list. The other dances are specific and not a category so Bharata Natyam is probably better. What do you think? Thank you also for your general work on India and Hinduism and bringing many articles to GA and FA status. Gizza (t)(c) 22:48, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suppressing Bangla calendar

[edit]

Hi, was it discussed anywhere before you merged the months of the Bangla calendar into the Hindu calendar? I strongly disagree with this, and have so far reverted Asharh and added a needed citation to it. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:46, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sminthopsis84: As per discussion on Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Hindu_Month_articles_inconsistency, Bengali calendar is a regional variation of Hindu calendar. The name and traditions of the month may vary, but the time period and the days (including major festivals and holy days) tally with the main Hindu calendar. There may be additional regional festivals like Jagadhatri Pujo, which are mainly exclusive to the Bengali culture; but these can be noted in the Hindu calendar month too. The Tamil calendar also follows the same convention. --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:03, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the pointer, this is not just an India-related topic and should have been discussed with Wikiproject Bangladesh. A revised version of the calendar is the official calendar there. It is likely to cause considerable friction to have the calendar of what is in effect a Muslim country labeled as the Hindu calendar. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:09, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sminthopsis84, the problem is the Bengali version of the Hindu calendar (Shaka) used by Bengali Hindus and the revised Bengali calendar (Hijri + Hindu) use the same names (Bengali forms of the Sanskrit names). So Ashadha, the Hindu month is called Asharh. How do you say this on the Ashadha article? --Redtigerxyz Talk 06:24, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sorry, I overreacted to the statement in the discussion "There are various regional variations of the Hindu calendar: Indian national calendar, Bengali calendar, Nepali calendar etc.", when the heading was about merging the month names only. Yes, the month names are the same, with the different spelling reflecting the dialect variation between Sanskrit, Hindi, Bangla, etc., though I don't know any of the languages. I'll look at this some more. What do you think of making a separate page about the revised Bengali calendar, perhaps called Bangabda, the name used by Banglapedia? Perhaps that would make it easier to refer to the various calendars, and hence easier to combine the Asharh and Aashaadha pages into one without leading off with that problematic "is a month of the Hindu calendar". Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:51, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sminthopsis84, I suggested the splitting the article in Talk:Bengali_calendar#Two_versions. The neutrality of Banglapedia is questionable, which says that it started in 1594 and completely disregarding the Shashanka (a Hindu king who unified Bengal) connection. [4] has both origin theories: Shashanka and Hijri, which I plan to put when I get time. (If you have time, please add) Banglapedia surprisingly uses the Sanskrit names in the article: Chaitra, Bhadra, Ashadh instead of its Bengali pronunciations Chaitro, Bhadro, Asharh. Bangabda is a generic name for the Bengali calendar; not only the Bangladeshi version. --Redtigerxyz Talk 07:51, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Let me make clear to everyone here that the "Bangla calendar" or the "Bengali calendar" IS NOT a religious calendar. I hope this solvers all the issues. বব২৬ (talk) 09:34, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What might be confusing Redtigerxyz a lot is that, Bengali calendar (formal name: Bongabdo) share same name of months and are used in similar region as of the Hindu calendar. What he is probably ignoring is the fact that, the calendar is not derived from or related to Hindu calendar. There are many regional versions of Hindu calendar, and they can very well be discussed in same article. Bengali months cannot be in the same article. The argument that names are Sanskrit, is equally invalid basis; most words in Bengali are either adopted or derived from Sanskrit (or more accurately Apabhramsa). Chill. – nafSadh did say 00:09, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear nafSadh, the reference says that they are Sanskrit month names and it is a solar calendar, based on the Surya Siddhanta. Nowhere am I telling you to add the word Hindu. I hope that the article is accurate and based on WP:RS, not WP:OR. I trust you can fulfil this and as such I am refraining editing the article. Redtigerxyz Talk 13:49, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article is thoroughly messed, it was messy and it is still. I'd try to improve. – nafSadh did say 16:06, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed that you reverted my changes to Bhrama that his worshipers are known as belonging to the Kalpawasi Sampradaya. Please let me know the reason so that they can be addressed. Thanks. Vdhillon (talk) 10:45, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vdhillon, can you provide WP:RS for this claim. Brahma is generally not worshipped in Hinduism. I have read about a Sampradaya dedicated to him. Kalpawasi are generally related to the Kumbha Mela. --Redtigerxyz Talk 10:48, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

please refer to 2nd para, 3rd line, http://www.tribuneindia.com/2013/20130731/himplus.htm#10

yes, all sampradaya turn up at kumbh mela, kalpwasi are one of them, I am currently working on a wikiarticle on Akhara (still needs more work, loads of dead/red links, which I will create one by one, hence, the need to insert in wikiarticle on Bharma also, you are welcome to help), in future I will insert the references to backup the claim so others do not revert my edits.

GA Review?

[edit]

Greetings. As an experienced and well-known editor among the Indic pages, I was wondering if you would be willing to do a GA review on Bharatiya Janata Party. I nominated it a while back, but I suspect that even those editors who know enough about the subject are steering clear of a page seen as controversial. If you haven't the time or inclination, I understand. Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 11:30, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vanamonde93, IMO, it would be best if a non-Indian - who possibly knows nothing about the BJP - reviews it. IMO, that person can better judge the neutrality. If I get time, I will leave an unofficial review on the talk. --Redtigerxyz Talk 11:38, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Friend, We recently added few links to original content on youtube and my blog about Maa Durga Deity and the same seems to have been disapproved. May I request you to kindly re-consider a review and let me know if the added links were not in tune with the specific page.... The links that we added were content that we have published on youtube and blogspot. We hope to hear back from you soon.

Nvvchar sir has applied for TTT 2015. It took me 3 emails from him to understand I was not clear enough to tell him that they will pay for your air-fare,, travel, food, and all other "incidental costs" (this does not include buying gifts for family members, friends)

Now, why not you? PLEASE come to TTT 2015. Note: You'll get economic class air ticket.

Could you register RIGHT NOW here meta:India_Access_To_Knowledge/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/2015#Registration? Then we can do long discussions, if you want. Withdraw any moment, but the deadline is already over. So, please register right now.

I want to see you there over a cup of coffee with Nvvchar Sir discussing Upanishad DYKs. Register right now, we'll discuss all things later. ---Tito Dutta (talk) 02:25, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

V Imp reverting of the edits in wikipedia for Guru Gorakshnath

[edit]

Hi- Jai Mere Guru ke Nath Guru GorakshNathJiki

This is representative of Guru GorakshNath Spiritual Group We had updated wikipedia because lot of misunderstandings about Guru Gorakshnath. He is not 11 century Yogi but Lord Shiva Himself. If you read the blog in signature its proved the same. Hence calling him 11 century Yogi is incorrect. That was the reason we removed the section we found incorrect. The content was referenced from following URL Guru Gorakhnath disciple

Pls revert back our change ASAP. I hope you understand our good intensions. I am new to wikipedia, so in case I have not followed guidelines, pls help in putting the content I mentioned in required format. Pls acknowledge once you have started editing or need any info.

Thank You. Alakh Niranjan !!! Regards, Guru GorakshNath Spiritual Group. http://gorakhnathdisciple.blogspot.in/ जो नाथ किसी का ध्यान नहीं लगाए ब्रह्मा विष्णु तेंतीश कोटि जिनको प्रणाम हैं लगाए वो एक शिवलिंग स्वरुप भगवान शिवगोरक्षनाथ हैं ! Devendraparmar1 (talk) 04:57, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Devendraparmar1, There are numerous WP:Reliable sources that date Gorakshanath between 10th-12th century CE [5][6]. He is associated with Lord Shiva and Naths, Adinath (Shiva) being the first Nath in sampradaya. [7] as well as its source [8] has many inaccuracies and violates Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.

Examples:

  • "Guru Gorakshnath is the founder of Hath Yog and Nath Sect.": This belief contradicts all basic tenets of Nath sampradaya, where Matsyendranath is called the (human) founder of Nath sect; preceded by the divine founders Shiva (as Adinath) or Dattatreya.
  • "Guru Gorakshnath is a supreme form of Lord Shiva and Vishnu": Naths are associated with Shiva, not Vishnu
  • "In Treta Yuga both Lord parshuram (Incarnation of Lord Vishnu) and Lord Rama (Incarnation of Lord Vishnu) were his disciples.": Which scriptures assert this? Not even mainstream Nath traditions mention these. Redtigerxyz Talk 05:49, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Pls read the blog provided. Matsendranath himself asked shiva for Help to spread nath Tradition , and that's how he came down as Gorakshnath. Matsendranath learned from Shiva and Shiva is Guru Gorakshnath on earth that's why mentioned he is founder. He infact became disciple of Mastendranath to also teach how disciple should be. If he was 10-12 century then how did he was a guru of Bharitharinath who was more than 2000 years back and how did Shankaracharya mentioned about him. The truth he appeared in various times last time was 10-12 the century but that does not mean he is 10-12th century yogi, He is non born and no one can tell when he was born because he appeared various times in various ages. The 12 Panths Ram Ke panth etc is not known to any one as of date but they were original panths in Treta Yuga established to spread yoga knowledge by Rama who accepted Shiva as his Guru. You need to read the whole blog to understand there are more than 400 posts and the auther is learning directly from Guru Gorakshnath. If you want reference its only in the blog I will provide specific links. The problem is lot of things in Nath traditions have been modified over time hence no one knows the truth. We want to clear bad/incorrect things about Guru Gorakshnath throughout internet.Regarding Guru Gorakshnath being Shiva and not Vishnu - There is no difference between both so does not matter that's what was mentioned in my post also, and even if you do not agree it is mentioned in Navnath Bhaktisaar Guru Gorakshnath is Hari Narayan.

Devendraparmar1 (talk) 11:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Devendraparmar1, we regard the above as original research and the blog as not a reliable reference. As such we will not accept your submission, please choose another site for same. Thanks. --Redtigerxyz Talk 16:24, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We will provide referces that can prove Guru Gorakshnath is not 10-12th century yogi. What ever mentined about him is false. Did you even try to find out the period of Bharatharinath on earth or read about what Shankaracharya wrote about Guru Gorakshnath. This will prove that he is not 11th or 12th century yogi. That clearly needs to be mentioned in wikipedia. You yourself have written he is Shiva. So indirectly he is Guru of Matsendranath or no ? Devendraparmar1 (talk) 05:14, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the above links are more than sufficient. Hence request you to please change wordings - Gorakshanath (also known as Gorakhnath) was an 10th to 11th century[1][2] Nath yogi in the beginning to following Guru Gorakhnath is Lord Shiva's yogic manifestation ref - http://gorakhnath.org/ He has appeared in different ages to teach Yoga and then here you can add the above 8 references. If needed you can mention that he is mentioned in various ages i.e 8th century , 11 century etc.

The references present various theories of dating and legends.Redtigerxyz Talk 05:10, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally I am mentioning details from our blog which will make things clear http://gorakhnathdisciple.blogspot.in/2013/03/guru-gorakshnath-shri-nath-ji-lets.html Please update the wikipidia page about Guru Gorakhnath. Also add reference to our Blog in wikipedia page http://gorakhnathdisciple.blogspot.in/2013/01/chapter-1-about-guru-gorakshnath.html

If you want me to do so pls let me know. There are some minor changes needed in Nath Sampradaya section which can be done at a later point Thanks Devendraparmar1 (talk) 18:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So everything looks unrelaible to you - how can you say the links you provided are reliable, what is the differentiator ?. Pls note the Auther (Guruji) is learning things directly from Gorakshnath Ji in samadhi. Anyways we do not expect you to believe this. We only want the truth to be told. Unfortunately there are various false records about Nath Sampradaya in multiple sources and none of them is reliable. Lets keep these things aside

Can you mention following at start (I am also mentioning reference which is NOT from our Blog site)

Guru Gorakhnath is Lord Shiva's yogic manifestation ref - http://gorakhnath.org/

and mention there are various records about his existence in all ages most recently from 8th/11th to 18th Century(you can mention 8th/11th century and 18th century reference I gave). Is this possible ? Devendraparmar1 (talk) 12:05, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Devendraparmar1, red-outlined triangle containing exclamation point Warning please do not add original research and please note— Wikipedia is not a soapbox. See also WP:Truth. You might wish to start a blog or visit a forum if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views..
    BTW, here you wrote We had updated and That was the reason we removed the section. . . — please explain what do you mean by "we"? (I can see two other users User:Nathwarrior and User:Aapune were editing the article in a similar way). --Tito Dutta (talk) 22:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When I said We I mean the group of users of Blog Guru Gorakshnath Disciple. I do not in any way relate to the 2 users you mentioned above. I had given various references that prove Guru Gorakshnath is not 11th century you and has been coming in various ages as late as 18th century. That was what we (Guru Gorakshnath disiple users) expected as wikipedia is always on top of search results and we wanted right info to be present about him. I guess it should not be difficult for you to say his existance is recorded in various times instead of mentioning 11th Century. Additionally he considered as Yogic manifistation of SHiva can also be mentioned in first line (reference I have already given above and you also have mentioned in Duet with Balaknath section). If that can be mentioned in first line, it will be good. Hope this clarifies and you can now update the first line. Devendraparmar1 (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mahalasa Edit

[edit]

Hello Dear Redtigerxyz, Myself Sumedh Tayade (talk) 07:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC), Few days back you had pointed me about the Malhari Mahatmya and mother's name of Mahalasa Goddess, The Marathi tv serial Jai malhar names Mahalasa's mother as 'Mayananda' so how i can prove this to wikipedia, can i give citation about this tv serial for proving factual accuracy or need to think distinctly and then implement the changes by Consensus? Sumedh Tayade (talk) 07:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sumedh Tayade:, Tv serials or films are not the most reliable sources for Hindu deities and their legends. Like most adaptations, Jai Malhar takes artistic liberty and digresses from popular versions of the legends of Khandoba. One example is Mayananda. The Malhari Mahatmya does mention Mhalsa's father Timma-seth, but her mother is not named. There may be other texts or oral legends that may have the character "Mayananda", on which Jai Malhar may be based. If reliable references (scholarly books etc.) can be found stating the certain text or oral legend states that Mayananda is the mother of Mhalsa, we can include it. Also, certain TV serials or films acquire cult status over time and their version of the tale becomes popular, for example

If over time, Jai Malhar attains this stature and is quoted by scholars, its version of the tale can be added in the Khandoba-related articles.

PS: I will recommend you reading Help:Using talk pages, which teaches how to use a talk page. Always add a new discussion at the bottom of the page, an user may miss out a new page if it is at the top or middle of the page. Use "New section" (top right of the talk page) to start a new discussion. --Redtigerxyz Talk 12:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
