Topic- Mythology. Base Quora QA. Compiled
Q1 What are some shocking secrets of Ramayana?
KR Compiler is so weak in mythology but would like to dry his tail
because others are so doing it. He has a lot of frustrations and has a
small number as his pat-back. He does not do any home work, but pats his
own back which is impossible. Whosoever Radha may be, first when we run
through, so many sending through the media, we take things according to its
value. Value means -ALL ARE USEFUK; BUT WE LEAAVE OUR ROAD CHAPPALS
OUTSIDE; BROOMSTICKS HAS APLACE; GODs HAVE A ROOM; COMMON JOKES HAVE A
PLACE; SO ON SO FORTH. But one who does not possess the discrimination even
at 80, but adamant in the presentations, spoiling the Corum through the
gossip Quora only, and lament when receive back, must only be a psychic.
Question is about Ramayana; but in Dinathanthi style Q is framed.
SHOKING SECRETS? SHOCKING TO WHOM; TO RADHA OR YOURSELF?
OK what have you brought in? 5 facts. What is there to be shocked
after passing 80 years? WHO IS TO BE BLAMED FOR THE JOKER MODELS?
Valmiki Ramayanam does not say so. Of course you have a right to
write any Ramayana; but you never said that; thank God you never copy and
paste and admit all own fabrications. Good then definitely, your
fabrications must shock you. 10 lines do not contain any authenticity at
all.
Q2 What actually happened in India after Mahabharata?
A2 Prithwi, Krishnaeverything Apr 23
The Puranas preserved the list of the kingdoms that flourished at the end
of the Bharata War and continued till they were all absorbed by the Nanda
empire of Magadha in the 300s BCE.
The Kuru kingdom over which Parikshita ruled extended from the Sarasvati to
the Ganges. It corresponded to modern Thanesvar, Delhi and the upper
Gangetic Doab. Parikshita is reported to have chased away the Kali out of
his kingdom, which indicates his excellent and benign rule. While on a
hunt, he was cursed by a sage that he would be bitten to death, by
Takshaka, king of the snakes. Parikshita died of the snake bite on the
appointed day. It appears that taking advantage of the condition of the
Pauravas as a result of the Mahabharata War, Takshaka, King of the Nagas,
marched against Hastinapura and king Parikshita died in his attempt to
check their attacks.
To avenge his father’s death. Janamejaya invaded Takshashila and
slaughtered countless Nagas. It was only through the intercession of Astika
that Janamejaya stopped this slaughter. The slaughter of the Nagas has been
mythologised into the Sarpasatra of Janamejaya where serpents fell as
oblations into the sacred fire through the spell of the Mantras. After
conquering Takshashila and uprooting the Nagas, Janamejaya appears to have
make Takshashila his headquarters for some time.
The story of the Mahabharata was recited to Janamejaya at Takshashila by
Vaisampayana. Several generations later, during the reign of Nicaksu, the
son and successor of Adhishmakrishna, the capital Hastinapura was washed
away by the Ganges. There was also devastation of crops by locusts or
hail-storms.
The Kuru-people evacuated and migrated in a body over 480 kilometers
downstream and settled in Vatsabhumi or Kausambi as their capital. The
Vatsas were under the Paurava king of Kasi and sided with the Pandavas in
the Mahabharata war. The Puranas give a list of 31 Ikshvaku kings of Kosala
beginning with Brihadbala who was killed in the Mahabharata War.

KR Thanks a lot for your figment of imagination and
fabrications wasting 20 lines.
Above coloured all in the groups can understand why I have coloured it all.
But can you prove Manu was ahead pf Bhagavat Gita? What is that Badarayana
Vedantha sutra? WOOW GREAT GAOUTHAMA BUDDA WAS SO AHEAD OF VYASA AND BG.
Great drying of the rat’s tail. Have I to write some more?
Q3 What is Niyog Pratha in the Mahabharata?
A3 Seema Bharti, Author of Mahabharat's Stories Jul 6
Satyavati bore king Shantanu a valorous son Chitrangada. He was brave and
wise. Another son Vichitravirya graced the couple. He was a great archer.
With the passage of time Shantanu left for the heavenly abode. Chitrangada
graced the throne.
Chitrangada once was in a duel with the king of Gandharvas. The battle
raged for three years. Unfortunately the Kuru heir never returned back
home. Bhishma then instated Vichitravirya on the throne. .
King of Kashi’s daughters Ambalika and Ambika were married to
Vichitravirya. But it was ill fated. Still in his youth Vichitravirya too
died. He left behind grieving wives and mother.
Once pacified Satyavati turned her attention at preserving Shantanu’s
lineage. Her son had left the throne without an heir. She tried finding out
means of coming out of the crisis. Hence sought Bhishma’s advice.
Having children on a woman when her husband was no more was not against the
law. This was Niyoga. Great sage Parasurama had wiped away kshatriyas from
the face of earth. The widowed kshatriya women had not many valorous men
left to give them children. These women went to Brahmins. Wise Brahmins
gave birth to brave kshatriya warriors.
Similarly Utathya had a blind son Dirghatama. He was violated when still in
his mother’s womb by none other than his own uncle, rishi Brihaspati hence
was born blind. In spite of the physical shortcomings he was a great
scholar. King Bali had requested him to help beget children on his wife.
Anga was born to king Bali’s wife. Brahmins have been known to father brave
kshatriyas. Satyavati’s predicament had an answer in Bhishma’s disclosure.
Satyavati had borne Krishna Dvaipayna on sage Parashara when she was a
maiden.
Vyasa was an ascetic, deep into learning and freed from desires. Bhishma
found him to be the most appropriate person to.
For the sake of Dharma, VedVyasa thought it his duty to beget children on
Vichitravirya’s wives. A country needed a king without which it would be
rudderless. No place was safe without him. Satyavati heaved a sigh of
relief on hearing her son’s words of assurance.
Dhritrashtra, Pandu and Vidhur were born through niyoga pratha.
KR Only last fortnight through Seema Bharathi sane Niyogi you wrote.
And you won’t check it out? Why you want to fill the same material several
times? Memory lapse or no content to fill?
Q4 Can you explain the difference between Aditya and Surya in Hindu
mythology? Also, why are there multiple gods named after the Sun (Adityas)?
A4 Rangaswamy Sundar Raj,Rig Vedic
meditation and intended meanings of scriptures May 4
What is the difference between Aditya and Surya?
Surya is basically a God of consciousness and thus associated with all the
seven manifestations of Brahman. The seven horses symbolize the seven
manifestations of Brahman.
Aditya is God of timing. The timing for each of the seven manifestations is
different.
For Indra (daydreaming) stage, timing is not of much importance. As the
thought moves higher timing becomes more crucial. It is for this reason
that there are sons of Aditi, or different timings for different stages.
However, in the Puranic period timing was replaced by time, and thus Aditya
became God of time and thus the same as Aditya.
KR What is that “Rig Vedic meditation and intended meanings of
scriptures”; won’t you laugh and ask the same question? Your learned
professors? And did you understand his write up differences and atleast
asked from where those resources came?
(However, in the Puranic period timing was replaced by time, and thus
Aditya became God of time and thus the same as Aditya.) COULD YOU MAKE
OUT ANYTHING OUT OF THOSE SENTENCES?
Do you know how many Adityas are there? And why Aditya the name as
Gopalkrishnan means? Do you know Sanskrit to ascertain from Nirukta root
and etymologies? Pl don’t dry your tail.
Q5 What is the real reason behind Ganesha's broken tooth?
A5 Stone mart India Team, Jun 20
According to Ganesh Puraan, once lord Shiva had ordered his son Ganesh to
guard Mount Kailash against all visitors, since he was about to go into a
long, deep trance and did not want to be disturbed. Lord Ganesh obliged!
It was then lord Parashurama (or Rama of the Axe- Lord Vishnu's sixth
avatar) paid a visit to Kailash and wanted to meet lord Shiva. As lord
Shiva was in deep meditation, lord Parashurama was stopped by lord Ganesha
citing the fact that it is not an appropriate time for the meeting.
This act of lord Ganapati angered lord Parashurama who insisted that he
came from a long journey to meet his father. Lord Shiva had given
Parashurama the axe to help him complete his mission. When Parashurama's
task was over, he made his way to Mount Kailash where lord Shiva lived, to
return the axe and thank him. But lord Ganpati refused!
Subsequently, lord Parashurama asked him to either pave him the way or get
ready for a duel. Lord Ganesh chose the later option. It lead to a tough
fight that made lord Parashuram more furious. Lord Parashurama, a
Shiva-bhakt, eventually became so furious on lord Ganesha that he threw the
axe at him. Lord Ganesha could have easily deflected the axe. But since it
belonged to his father, he did not stop it, out of respect, and let it
break his tusk.
This event was the reason that lord VInayaka was given the name ‘Ekdant’.
The incident also reflects the value of virtue and humility when it comes
to accepting defeat while coming face to face with someone more revered,
older and respectful.
Hope the answer helps! Wish to welcome lord Ganesha to your home in his
