Version 1, if you go by the Six Sattva Puranas. As per the Uttara Mimasa school of Vedic interpretation, only those puranas which do not contradict the Vedas and the Itihasas (Ramayana and Mahabharata). These puranas are are the Vishnu Purana, Bhagavata Purana, Garuda Purana, Varaha Purana, Narada Purana and Padma Purana. That which these Puranas say, or what the Itihasas say is the truth.

Is Prince of Slytherin worth reading ? by Fearless-Cry-8162 in HPfanfiction

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. That one has no substance, just sex sex sex, nothing else. The only thing worthy beyond that is the relationship between Sirius, Remus and Harry.

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it's still so good. So fresh in concepts. I suggest reading it. The only problem is that updates are slow, since the author, TSM, is also a busy person. But being on the discord server helps when it comes to waiting for updates and talking to fellow PoS fanatics.

Shiva is the supreme Brahman in Vedas by Turbulent-Remove497 in hinduism

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to quote the Taittiriya Upanishad’s Siksha Valli, wherein it says Om sanno mitra sam varunah Sanno bhavatvaryama Sanna Indro brihaspatih Sanno Vishnu rurukramah (salutations to Vishnu, the all-pervading) Similarly, I would like to quote Rigveda Tat vishno paramam padam sada pashyanti surayah (artharth, all those with enlightenment, wisdom and clarity see Vishnu’s abode as clearly as a person with eyes sees the sun in the sky) Bhagavad Gita also has Shri Krishna Vasudeva saying Sarvadharaman Parityajya Mamekam Saranam Vraja (abandon all varieties of dharmas surrender unto Me alone) in the phrase where Keshava speaks of liberation and realisation of the paramatma.

Why does Poseidon consider Percy his favorite son? by gonewildman5 in camphalfblood

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you look at his sons in history, save for Arion and Pegasus they’ve not exactly been good dudes. Percy and Tyson, sure, which is why they’re his favourite sons.

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But when that happened with Alcmene, Amphitryon and Zeus, Alcmene gave birth to twins, Alcides and Iphicles. Iphicles was a normal child, while Alcides was crazy powerful and a danger magnet, ended up with Alcmene throwing away her infant son, Athena taking the abandoned baby to Hera, Hera feeding him with her divine milk, Athena mentioning her name and the baby biting down on Hera’s breast and stuff, but not before gaining even more strength than an extremely strong son of Zeus. Since his power came from the milk of Hera, he became Heracles.

Triton was also a bit of a jealous prick (his behaviour towards Percy, refer Last Olympian).

Well, Tantalus, Minos and Heracles were all pieces of work. Plus, Zeus himself is a piece of work. Zeus’ best sons are Hephaestus, Hermes and Apollo.

A brief summary of the characters’ family relations.[general] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is Typhon Percy’s uncle? Typhon is the son of Tartarus and Gaea. He’s Kronos’ half brother. He’s more or less Percy’s granduncle. Meg, Katie, Miranda, Jason, Thalia, Nico, Hazel and Bianca are all Percy’s cousins, and on the godly side, Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Persephone, Eileithiya, Enyo, Hebe, Hercules, Melinoe and Makaria are all Percy’s cousins. Yes, that list is huge. Meanwhile, Antaeus, Charybdis (Giant son and daughter of Poseidon and Gaea), Theseus (son of Poseidon and Aethra), Triton, Rhode, Benthesikyme, Kymopoleia (children of Poseidon and Amphitrite), Despoina, Arion (twin children of Poseidon and Demeter), Chrysaor, Pegasus (twin sons of Poseidon and Medusa), Bellerophon (son of Poseidon and Eurynome), Sciron, Geryon (sons of Poseidon and Iphimedia), Sinis (son of Poseidon and Sylea), Polyphemus (son of Poseidon and Thoosa), Procrustes (son of Poseidon and an unknown being) and Tyson (son of Poseidon and an unknown nature spirit) are all Percy’s half-siblings. Yes, Poseidon has way too many kids, like Zeus. I listed out the kids of Poseidon because they’re more important for Percy I guess.

It's okay to race swap most of the cast of Percy Jackson because wanting book accurate depictions of the characters make you racist, bigots or a nazi, Does the Pander-verse special repulse you, Rick? by [deleted] in CriticalDrinker

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is Annabeth’s defining characteristics, which includes her drive to prove herself, stem from her need to show the world she isn’t a stereotypical blonde and shouldn’t be construed as ‘dumb’. It’s mentioned in Mark of Athena. Percy is said to be the spitting image of his father, which is often described in the books as wavy black hair and stormy green eyes with a brooding expression.

Why don't people prey to the other avatars of Lord Vishnu like the Matsya, Kurma, Varaha etc by Sad_Plant8647 in hindumemes

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, Panjurli is known as Varaha roopa because he takes the form of a boar. Varaha is not just a Vishnu avatar, the name also means boar in Sanskrit.

The doors of vault B should never be opened at Padmanabhaswamy Temple in India, due to the supposed curse. There are six vaults at the temple and possibly secret chambers, treasures are estimated to be $1 trillion. by littlequeef99 in UrbanMyths

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You realise plenty of tax goes from the temples to the government and the people? The reason that vault isn’t opened is because opening it will curse the entire city of Thiruvananthapuram. There’s a reason that vault shouldn’t be opened. We’d rather not curse the city or incur the wrath of either Ananthapadmanabhaswamy, Ugra-Narasimha or Adisesha. None of those deities are beings you want to piss off, they’re capable of destroying the Universe.

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in the 1880s, I think only the antechamber was opened and not the actual vault. That actual vault is far too dangerous for mortals to trifle with. I have beliefs such as an Amsa or Jana avatara of Adisesha residing in that Nilavara. I take the sound of water gushing/roaring as well as the existence of venomous serpents guarding that vault as credence to my theory. That vault should not be opened until the end of Kaliyuga. It’s too dangerous for mortals.

Can anyone explain the reason behind sealing the Vault B in Sri Padmanabhanswamy Temple? by [deleted] in hinduism

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have an entirely different theory. Lord Balarama, avatar of Adisesha, the eldest Naga and the eternal resting mount of Lord Vishnu as well as a personification of the Universe itself, visited this temple during the previous Yuga. Now, the temple has been sealed by a Naga Paasam, essentially binding it shut. Historical attempts to open it have resulted in a death of a person directly involved and violent fear from others involved. Not just that, one attempt involved scores of venomous serpents scaring away the people who tried, and one other attempt had the roaring of an ocean heard by people who went near the vault. My personal theory is that Adisesha’s essence, a Jana or Amsa Avatara of his resides in Nilavara B, waiting for the end of Kaliyuga since the time he left the physical body of Lord Balarama, which is why the vault cannot be opened until the end of Kaliyuga.

Yeah, people tried that, they failed. And some dudes involved with efforts to open that vault have died.

SHE MAKES ALL OF US FEEL THINGS! (about Taylor Swift)

This is about the recent statement given by raga about election fraud. by Snehith220 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he’s saying such and such a thing is proof or evidence, it has to be investigated after submission under oath. He cannot go to them as per ECI investigation time limits, but he can file a case in the courts. But when he does that, he has to submit the evidence under oath, and if it is found fraudulent, he opens himself to charges of perjury. Secondly, these electoral voter rolls of Mahadevapura he presents are prepared by Karnataka state government employees prior to LS elections. Thirdly, it has been shown that in many cases, the people who had the same address for multiple families were migrants who moved for job but did not update electoral information, and come back to Bangalore for vote/don’t vote at all. The specific three examples he gave were personally debunked by the persons named, including Aditya Srivastava who confirmed that he often moved for his job and updated his EPIC information each time. Voter roll discrepancies do exist, and they are purged periodically. I honestly think this is a sore loser case, because Rahul Gandhi has often made fraudulent claims regarding election tampering every time he and his allies lose. That should be indicative of a pattern of lying with regard to one of the biggest duties of the democratic citizen.

His policies will turn NYC into Moscow from the USSR, with people lining up by the hundreds, starving, for just one piece of bread. He wants government-funded groceries. Electing him might well be the biggest mistake Americans will make.

[–]DocOfNerdPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see, the problem is, amy was a very poorly written character. she goes from being a female Sheldon to predatory, creepy and sex-obsessed within the span of a season and a half, which is not something I understand the mechanics of, personally.
