Six faces of Kartikeya
I thought Kartikeya had 6 mothers. Isn't Kartika the Pleiades? [actually many more than 6 stars there, but 6 major ones]. You can test your eyes on how many you can see. [not in Chennai, tho, too light] That's also meaning of car Co. name:…

wisdoms in vedic hinduism-17
I was asking about the actual mountain, not its symbolism. Aren't Olympus & Ararat real places? I believe Meru is, also. Sacred in the 'Avesta' also, I've read. It's the Axis Mundi, near region perhaps the origin of …

The Parsis think they know where it is, and they're from near there. 'hypostatization' is what moves it all around. I took Diana Eck's explan. of that term to be pretty logical, on how distant Tirthams are given expanded life : e…

Does the location of Mt. Meru have anything to do with it? Wouldn't the 'source' have been near it? But where is it, exactly? I have that it is among the Pamirs, Badakhshan, Tajikistan : Mt. Hara Berezaiti. kathie

Dear Saurabh, THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD! I just googled 'Bagh', day before yesterday, and there it was. Now I can't find it again. It had oleographs of Krishna above each page. This is really weird. Guess it wasn't an official site a…

Couple of years ago I read that an area of MP, N of Jabalpur, worships Ravana. I still enjoy the crazy theory that Lanka was in the Murwara basin. Malathi has tried to set me straight, but I'm hard to convince. Wish I could read Skt. No g…

Dear Saurabh, re Ayodhya : After that ugly Masjid razing in '92, I certainly don't care to go there! Plenty of other equally-sacred sites. Repercussions still felt in Godhra, GUJ of all places, 10 years later. Try Chitrakut, say, or Gaya…
