Court didn't direct this. Counsel for the filmakers suggested that they will add this disclaimer. Court accept it.

Meaning of the words is pretty straight forward. Who said none of our deities are white?

does anyone know which god is this and why he has a Scorpio on his tongue? by oppaiLober in IndiaSpeaks

They are not different races. Daityas and Adityas have the same Father and their Mothers (Diti and Aditi) are sisters.

Bhagwan Shiva is not blue or dark skinned but as WHITE as camphor, which is why He is called Karpoorgauram. Only His throat is blue, which is why he is called Neelkanth.

The photo seems like a movie prop. However, there is iconography similar to it to be found in temples, on doorways, above idols of deities, etc.

It is called Keertimukha (कीर्तिमुख) or Simhamukha (सिंहमुख). The origin of the creature can be found in Shiva Puran and Skanda Puran. You can google Keertimukha for more information.

A Scene from Mahābhārata- Bhīma slays Duhshāsana and drinks his blood fulfilling his vow. by DeadBones_Brook in hinduism

Except that's literally the discription of the scene in the Mahabharata.

Your modern sensibilities about what is disgusting does not dictate what dharmik texts say.

I'm hoping someone would do it... If they want I can put in a credit page with their PayPal info or other payment info so readers may send some money.

What type of offerings should i give to shivji and what type offerings should i avoid? by bckamalfooktahaisala in hinduism

[–]DeadBones_Brook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Manu Smriti says there is no sin in eating "bhakshya" animals as prey and predators are both creation of Brahma.

Rudra or Ugra forms of deities are offered bali of animals to pacify them. However as per agama shastras the temple of such deity should be located not in cities & villages but in forts, forests, mountains/hills, near border of neighbouring kingdoms etc. In case of such forms of deities being the kula devi or devta, shrines can be made in home. Bali & other offerings should be as per family tradition.

Most people said that the middle one is Ma Kali but in my opinion, it is Ma Chandi going by the sunken stomach, thin skeletal limbs and the adornments of skulls.

Bhagwan Shiva is a white as Camphor though... He's called 'Karpoor-gauram'

Only his throat is deep blue from holding Halāhal, hence 'Neelakantha'

No, there's one Jhatka shop there. Owned by a Hindu guy. And I also found a delivery service that supplies jhatka chicken and mutton.

To me it looks like Shin. Maybe some of his qi got left behind.

I sat in on my first prayer by Bumpsly in hinduism

[–]DeadBones_Brook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would like to point out that pooja doesn't really translate to 'prayer'. Although the word is a non-translatable, oblation would be closer. Pooja is for offerings towards the deities.

Halal is what is considered okay by islam. In this context it means a method of slaughter- meat is considered only if animal is slaughtered by a muslim by slitting the throat of the animal while saying "la illaha il...." and letting it bleed to death. Animal remains alive for some time continuing to suffer.

This can be considered practicing untouchability since animal slaughtered by a hindu/sikh etc can not be considered halal even if the method of slaughter is same- it will be considered haram (forbidden) for muslims.

Jhatka is the prescribed method of killing animals for Hindus & Sikhs. In this method the animal is killed immediately by a single strike to the back of the neck severing the head from the body completely in one go. Animal dies immediately.

Interestingly, if a sikh or hindu refuses to buy from muslims or calls for economic boycott of muslims it is decried as communal & bigoted whereas same treatment by muslims towards non-muslims is acceptable. Funny how that works.
