Talk:Arundhati (Hinduism)

message: Almost every one in India trace their ancestry to an ancient Rishi. This is not mythology but history, something real. Every family has a different lineage from a Rishi. Arundhati (Wife of an important rishi) is a very important person in such lineage, and this article is wrongly classified as mythology. Unfortunately, many Indian history books (like the Mahabharatha which is the story of probably the first ever world war) are classified as myths and mythology. It is sad to see a page on Arundhati going to a disambiguation page that talks of far less important and fleeting concepts borrowing that original name ! Every one in India following the Sanathana Dharma (popularly called as Hinduism) is shown a star that is named after that famous person Arundhati at the time of marriage ! Inspite of the fact that Wikipedia is such a great source of information, this article clearly demonstrates the fact that Wikipedia is a total failure in bringing to the world knowledge from ancient India. Perhaps, there are few that have the knowledge and inclination to update information in pages like this.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.242.187.140 (talk) 14:40, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The article has been aptly renamed, along with the appropriate changes to the disambiguation page. Use of words like "mythology" and "mythological" for characters in Ramayana and Mahabharata is pejorative, especially when the two texts are classified as "Itihaasa" in Sanatana Dharma.

Talk:Narikela

message: I've linked to this article from the Puja one, and hopefully people can continue linking here and expanding the article. The coconut seems to play a very important part in many Hindu rituals--I've often seen it offered to important people (holy people or other leaders) when they arrive to make speeches and such. What's the story behind decorating the coconut? I've seen gorgeous metal "shells" made for these cocomuts, and some amazing decorations. I understand those are done to emphasise the auspiciousness, but if anyone has more information on how and why particular symbols are used, it'd enrich the article greatly. Also, we need pictures and some encyclopedic editing, yes.

Talk:Bhagavata

message: It has been suggested that the page become a disambiguation page for Bhagavata, which can refer to either of two different religious traditions from two different time periods, as well as an abbreviated name of the Bhagavata Purana.

text: Proposal clarification I would appreciate if you can outline which two different religious traditions you mean. As I can see the need of the disambiguation but some conclude that 4 c. BC Bhagavata and current Bhagavata sampradaya are the same tradition, and others are branches of that tradition, we need to have one article for all bhagavata traditions? I propose to have 3 main entries in disambiguation 
#Bhagavata religious traditions that include anscient Bhagavatism as a section, as well as other traditions that belong to this line, 
#Bhagavata as the name of purana, with the associated meanings of the term.
#Bhagavata as a devotee of Bhagavata Purana or Bhagavata(within one of the traditons belonging to Bhagavata No1.)Wikidās ॐ 16:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Commissar

message: Can someone provide a reference regarding the Russian usage's derivation from the French military position? Dictionaries I've checked give an etymology based on a German term, Kommissar, meaning "deputy". That's based on the medieval Latin "commissarius", from the Latin "commissus", or "entrusted". Per Etymonline.com, the term dates to 1362 as an ecclesiastic position, "one to whom special duty is entrusted by a higher power"; there's a military usage dating to 1489 which seems to indicate someone with a quartermaster function. I have no information on when the usage might have changed, and which military organizations used it.

thread_title: Prior Military Use

message: Is there any truth in the fiction relating to commissars being given the authority to shoot fleeing soldiers, as seen in Enemy at the Gates? I've always sorta been under the impression that this rank was not only just a military officer, but also one of political purposes, in which they pushed the communist propoganda, shot traitors, cowards, malcontents, and simply enforced the red agenda above all others.

thread_title: Truth in fiction?

message: I wonder if someone knowledgeable can shed some light on the use of this term to denote a class of intellectuals subservient to the state. It seems Noam Chomsky uses it especially often, when he is deriding the intellectual class of the United States for playing into the interests of power. Obviously this has to do with the bureaucratic role of commissars in the Soviet Union -- but how did it come to describe intellectuals in the service of the state at large?

thread_title:  Note 

message: Jainism was once one of the dominant religions of South Asia and especially of South India. As shown in the Hindu BASAVA PURANA as well as in the PENIYA PURANA, the Shaiva Hindus saw the Jains as evil competitors for converts. This led to a gruesome combination of vitriol against the Jains plus appropriation of Jain ideas. In this light, the 63 Nayanars of Shaivism seem likely to be an attempt at appropriating the concept of the 63 Shalaka Purushas of Jainism. There is not a precise one-to-one relationship between the two concepts but the Shaiva insistence on the number 63 seems to be an appropriation from Jainism. 24.206.78.54 (talk) 01:28, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Khandavaprastha

message: Khandavaprastha was the original capital of Yayati, the great ancestor of the Kurus. Abandoned later when the capital shifted to Hastinapura on the river Ganga, it became a jungle that was cleared by a holocaust and the city of Indraprastha built there by the Pandavas with Krishna's help. The Purana Kila in Delhi is said to be the same site on the river Yamuna. After the great war, the Pandavas ruled from Hastinapura, the ancestral capital, while Indraprastha was given over to Vraja, great grandson of Krishna.

- 1960's: Rock and roll still going, surf rock (Beach Boys), pop rock (Beatles & Rolling Stones), songs about protest in Vietnam, theatre influence, art rock (Russell Morris), big bands (early Bee Gees)
- 1970's: disco, glam rock, pub rock, punk rock, new wave, sexual revolution, emergence of country (Helen Reddy, Slim Dusty etc)
- 1980's: synthesiser and drum machine --> dance music; new romantic (Pseudo Echo), new wave (Men at Work), Michael Jackson & Madonna popular, rise of pure pop music almost always recorded by women (Kylie, Jenny Morris), but also men like John Farnham and James Reyne, decline of pub rock and fragmentation of popular music, MTV and rise of promotional videos, also decline of records in favour of tapes and CDs, rise of alternative music
- 1990's: grunge popular, dance music overtaking rock in 2nd half of 1990s, rise of R&B music
- 2000's: rock overtaking dance in 1st half of 2000s, revival of 60s and 70s music, rise of hip-hop/rap, reality television (Australian Idol etc), pure pop music (Cassie Davis, Sneaky Sound System, Temper Trap, Pegz, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Ben Lee, Missy Higgins, Delta Goodrem), trend of actress-turned-singers which usually released one or two singles only (Stephanie Mcintosh, Tammin Sursok), Holly Valance releasing 2 albums, Bec Cartwright releasing 2 albums - this actress-turned-singer trend began back in the 80s with Kylie Minogue...
and finally, the rise of the internet as a vehicle for the promotion of music. Can you please do a check for me? Thanks!!!!! 114.73.1.145 (talk) 07:42, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Faro0485 (talk) 01:21, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The current image is used because it shows a goad which presumably was used to keep the oxen pulling the plow moving. As for the image you think is better: 1. Is it free? (i.e., is it in the public domain or released under a license at least as free as the GFDL?); 2. Is that a goad or a spear that the man is holding, as he is in what appears to be a war chariot, even though it is being pulled by a bull? -- Donald Albury 13:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The second image is from Greek mythology; Cadmus is raising an army by sowing a field with dragons' teeth.  He has his spear in hand and the spear-tips of the supernatural army can be seen rising from the furrows of the plough.  It is not clear if he is using the spear as a goad and the spear is certainly not typical of an ox-goad, it is clearly a hoplite killing weapon and not an agricultural implement.  Not an appropriate image, the one in the actual page is much better. --Charlie  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.153.180.229 (talk) 15:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Elka Todorova

message: I'd like to acknowledge that while there is an "importance criteria" that is needed and sought for in the Wikipedia, the format and the relative credibility require, no, demand, that we build an extensive reference database. I trust the collective judgement of the wiki mindset and I rely on Wikipedia for a lot of reference material. From this point of view, it is my strong belief that a paragraph of information, available to be screened and edited for objectivity by the mass public is a necessity in a reality where there's a general lack of credible information in the average Google search. In particular, I have sought to bring a paragraph of useful information to the public eye, which is open to editing and expansion, but at least provides the beginning of an objective overview. 
Currently, there are very few reference to people who are not currently active at a high level in the American media or in the cyberspace of information. Being Bulgarian, it is especially distressing for me to find very little information about Bulgarian academic and science figures. This is why I attempted to add a paragraph of information each about two women who are active in the academic world - Maria Todorova and Elka Todorova. The presence of these two women should in no way exclude the addition of other equally interesting individuals - in fact, it is with the hope that this will start a more extensive set of submissions that I enter this information. 
I challenge anyone to deny the international importance of these two women, who have won incredible international academic awards (including Fulbright, John Simon Guggenheim, Woodrow Wilson fellowhips, etc), who have each published more than 50 monographs and articles and who are established names in their respective fields, in Bulgaria and abroad. I further challenge in a general way the "importance claim" set upon currently working individuals - I had believed the days in which we waited for a person to die to elevate their status were gone. 
Let us use the amazing functionality of the wiki to provide a full view of our contemporary life, with its people, objects and ideas. Please do edit the information for objectivity, and edit it for up-to-date content. But let's decide once and for all - how many peer reviews are enough to merit a one-sentence mention in this paperless, free world! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashuni (talk • contribs)
