Talk:Vyasa

message: I have read somewhere but the reference eludes me right now that Vyasa is a title and not a name of a person.  Just like the title King or emperor can be used for many, Vyasa can be too and that there have been 24 Vyasas so far.  Perhaps that may make some of the discussion more understandable for other people.

replies: text: Yeah, it makes sense Vyasa means divider, so there could have been many of them and he represents the paramount idea of a rishi, one who is knowledgeable in all teachings and actually fully experiences them!Domsta333 (talk) 13:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I moved the page to Krishna Dvaipayana Veda Vyasa, because I thought using the full name was more appropriate.
If you disagree, please comment here.

replies: text: I disagree strongly. His name is Vyasa, and this is the name that is commonly used. Veda Vyasa is an alternate name. Krishna is another name, as is Dvaipayana, these two sometimes used in combination, and not very often. The combinations of all four is not 'the full name' - unless you can show that his mother named him that. There is no policy that sanctions this move, and there was no discussion of it. It should be moved back. Imc (talk) 09:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I suggest that the article be moved back to "Vyasa", the most popular one as in Britannica, for example. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 12:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a wide overlap of the two outlooks throughout the article. It will be more readable and accurate if split into two major sections ( historial and mythical) or perhaps even two articles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.139.82.6 (talk) 08:01, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The use of "Legacy of the Elder Gods" by M. Don Schorn is not a viable reference. The author is a former mechanical engineer that believes that humanity was placed here by two extraterrestrial species and has written the aforementioned book about it. It is not a useable reference to cite an author who is in the absolute best case, not even mentioned or considered by academia to have any validity and in the worst case, borders on mental fragility... It is his personal theory about how humanity was seeded on Earth. The theory is not imaginative, it is irresponsible. Its citation does not belong in an encyclopaedia... Its citation as an authority for the origin and timeframe of Vyasa has even less validity... I am posting this before I remove use of the reference Stevenmitchell (talk) 02:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The lede says
:There are two different views regarding his birthplace. One of the views suggests that he was born in the Tanahun district in western Nepal.
What's the other view? It isn't mentioned. --Thnidu (talk) 06:24, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

message: As discussed on this TALK page and Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard , i have created a new page Vyasa_(title).But feel that the existing page Vyasa should be renamed to  " Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa ", in order to mention about the author of Mahabharata and his contribution.The new page Vyasa_(title)  should be the general platform for indicating all Vyasas ever existed . Also i want to  include in the Vyasa page that "Vyasa is just a "position for a brief period of time given to an individual"

thread_title: Changing Vyasa page name to Krishna Dvaipāyana Vyasa

message: It is said that his father Parashara perceived him from Satyavati without taking her maidenhood, adn that he transformed into a man as soon as he was born.
Hello, everyone is writing according to his point of view but really no one is writing the truth and diverting from the original books where it is clearly mentioned that Sage Bhardwaja had pre-marital relation with Satyawati. 
Now, you guys will put fake copies where fake father Sage Parashar is mentioned. 
Thank You.  ItWiki97 (talk) 17:36, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that quote should be removed. We're straying beyond "fair use" and into copyright violation. Not helped by having no explanation of its purpose. Perhaps check with an administrator as it may need to be revision-deleted. - Sitush (talk) 16:56, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
