Nandinatha Sampradaya

It's regarding Nandinatha's Philosophy. Yes you are right in saying that "If it is Advaita then by definition it CANNOT be Shaiva Siddhanta." It's Shaiva Siddhanta and not the Advaita. So I am going to fix it after your reply. ^[1]^[2].__शिव साहिल (talk) 04:56, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. As long as the inconsistencies on the page are eliminated, I am happy to assume you know more about this sampradaya than I.Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 07:38, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pedantic observation you can ignore

It's either iṣṭadevatā or (if you leave a space) iṣṭā devatā. Basemetal 14:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The rules are a little looser than one might think when transliterating compounds like this. Most authors would actually use a hyphen. I did not. Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 14:43, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yoga asana image requests

Hi, I see you have met image requests before ;-} ..... if you are interested, there is now a list of requested images at Wikipedia:WikiProject Yoga#Image requests.

Another thing you might like to help with is the state of the names of asana articles - quite a few contain diacritics, which isn't really right (I now realise). I believe the Sanskrit and IAST for the asanas is pretty much correct but there are bound to be a few (recent) mistakes in there.... Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that we're lacking images also for what Iyengar calls "krounchāsana"; and for all four forms of mandukāsana, which we didn't even have an article for until today! Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:18, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rigvedic quotes on homosexuality

Would you mind taking a look at the recent editing history of Hinduism and LGBT topics and Homosexuality in India, and giving your thoughts? Further context can be found on my talk page - essentially, there is text asserting that a certain phrase occurs in the text of the Rigveda, which is an entirely spurious claim, and attributed to sources that are not competent to comment. The text in question appears nowhere in the actual text of the Rigveda, as is easily established by searching through an online database like Titus. It also appears nowhere in any of the academic sources on the Rig Veda itself, including the authoritative translation and associated commentary recently published by Jamison & Brereton. The citations are mostly to newspapers which appear to be uncritically repeating this factoid without further citation, and it has been picked up by one or two academic sources on queer theory that are not competent to comment on the Vedic corpus or translations of it, and which do not themselves source it. I'm not sure what the appropriate solution to this is. Hölderlin2019 (talk) 11:12, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
