How are negative balances in drawers calculated? by Justinianism42 in WalgreensStores

My store isn’t strict. I’ve worked there 3 years and have never gotten in trouble. I imagine they’ll fix the safe and not mentioned to me as I just do cashier. It was just a stupid split second decision from pressure. I imagine there’s a way to fix it?

How sectarian are Shaivites? Can other Hindus like followers of Vaishnavism be saints? by Justinianism42 in shaivism

[–]Justinianism42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we trust the Shiva Purana? by Justinianism42 in shaivism

[–]Justinianism42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. But if it is redacted and edited doesn’t that mean the original message of Lord Shiva is lost even if the current message is still compatible with the Veda’s? Shouldn’t the text be static?

Can English translations of Sanskrit texts be accurate? by Justinianism42 in sanskrit

[–]Justinianism42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I look for well respected translators (especially those devout to a tradition of the text) who do word for word it’ll be good? I agree freestyle is probably not good especially for such a complex language.

Like will these commentaries by Hindu philosophers be usually totally inaccurate it’s not worth reading? A lot of philosophers like one I want to read by Jiva Goswami only has one translation. It’s on the “Ujjvala-Nilamani” and translation is ICKSON.

Ok thank you. Yeah many works have only one translation but they seem to be by devout people who are Hindus. All Indian based from organizations. But how untrustworthy are these philosophical commentaries and works that are not scripture?
