Talk:Atharvaveda

message: I'm curious about the unorthodox capitalization here - is this SAMPA or something? Could we use IPA unicode instead, if it's important to convey the nuances of pronunciation?

message: The whole "popular misconceptions" (!) section desperately needs an NPOV screening. Wikipedia isn't a platform for privileging any religious ideas over another, whether 'misconceived' or otherwise. I'd prefer not to do the rewrite myself, however, since my knowledge of the Vedas is insufficient. QuartierLatin1968 13:23, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Thanks for the IASTification Miljoshi  :) I think we will be able to remove the "attention" tag soon. 
The article preserves much material from a major anon edit  in Sept 2003 . This should still be sourced and verified, I hope I can get to that sometime. 
Also, see Talk:Rig_Veda#Rigveda_or_Rig_Veda; I propose to move the articles on the four Vedas back to Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda (on grounds of their being tatpurusha compounds, these names should be considered single words, not appositions). dab (ᛏ) 16:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, its was a bit tough to work-around in absence of original Devnagari words, but have used some common Sanskrit grammar rules to figure out what-it-would-had-been :-). Oh well, I'm afraid I already removed the notice! On the naming point, Agree, all the four are spelled as one word in Sanskrit (I'm reading from their book-covers). --rgds.

message: This page seems to have had several giant quotations from the source material dumped into it, obscuring the actual article.  Perhaps they should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.54.47.136 (talk) 22:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having waited a few days, I (the poster of this question) went ahead and deleted them; I think the article is much better this way.  128.54.44.136 17:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Junk giant quotations? 

message: Its quite a popular internet myth that the following text appears in the Atharva Veda, though it does not:
Birds of the Same Nest
"We are the birds of the same nest,
We may wear different skins,
We may speak different languages,
We may believe in different religions,
We may belong to different cultures,
Yet we share the same home - OUR EARTH.
Born on the same planet
Covered by the same skies
Gazing at the same stars
Breathing the same air
We must learn to happily progress together
Or miserably perish together,
For man can live individually, 
But can survive only collectively."--Atharva Veda
:I get all of four google hits for this, so calling it "popular" is rather stretching things. A lot of unfounded nonsense floats around on the internet at large. --dab (𒁳) 14:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

message: these edits apparently fall under WP:COI.
Referenced criticism of a scholar with the same name as the editor was replaced by an unreferenced eulogy. 
Somebody may want to fix this.
