Beauty contest that promoted war: How feuding goddesses caused the Trojan War

All the Olympian divine beings were welcome to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis aside from Eris, the goddess of disagreement. Furious, Eris chose to show the amassed Olympians a thing or two. She tossed among them a brilliant apple on which was engraved the words, 'For the most delightful.' Three goddesses – Hera, goddess of family, Athena, goddess of abilities, and Aphrodite, goddess of magnificence – guaranteed the apple and battled about it. No god, not even Zeus, tried appointed authority who of the three goddesses was the most delightful, and thus deserving of the apple. At long last, the goddesses were advised to go to Paris, sovereign of Troy, known for his comprehension of female magnificence and his reasonable decisions. The three goddesses introduced themselves to Paris and attempted to dazzle him with their excellence. At the point when he was unable to choose, each attempted to pay off him furtively. Hera vowed to make him leader of the best realm on the planet. Athena vowed to make him the most respected hero on the planet. Aphrodite guaranteed him the hand of Helen, the most excellent lady on the planet.

Paris acknowledged Aphrodite's offer. He gave her the apple and with that, he and the place where there is Troy acquired the ill will of Hera and Athena for eternity. Subsequently, the reason for the Trojan War was less human indiscretion but rather more it was the insignificance of the divine beings.

What came first - The Ramayana or the Mahabharata?

(The dating in the article is approximate and rounded for ease of understanding.) Everything relies upon what answer you are set up to get, for the appropriate response is convoluted and buried in political issues. There are basically two sorts of answers: religious answer (myths or faith- based) or reality-based answer (facts or truth-based). Religious answer acknowledges as unadulterated truth what is transmitted in writings and by educators without basic examination; it makes individuals vociferously certain. Truth based answer is restricted by accessibility of quantifiable and irrefutable proof; it makes individuals wary and dicey. Presently the Vedic songs are written in a Sanskrit called Vedic Sanskrit while the most established Ramayana and Mahabharata writings we have are written in a Sanskrit called Classical Sanskrit. The last uses a punctuation initially archived by Panini who lived 2,500 years prior. So the most established forms of Ramayana and Mahabharata that we have...

Brahma lives in different dimension or a planet? | Brahmaloka - House of the Creator

This is how Multiverse looks, with each universe having its own creator.  This is beyond Multiverse. Brahmaloka (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मालोक) and more often Satyaloka (Sanskrit: सत्यलोक)' world of truth '. Man's knowledge is as mini as a grain of sand in this universe. The whole cosmos is centralized toward humans. Whatever is outside is inside us, and whatever is inside is also outside. Corresponding to the seven centers inside, there are seven realms of being in the whole universe. In Sanskrit they are called Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka, Svarloka, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka.  I am not asking you to think about why these lokas exist. I am just asking you how to visualize these lokas. How to explain to someone new to Hinduism what a loka really is? Science is not yet developed to describe all kinds of truths that pervades this magnificent and ever mysterious universe. Asking scientific explanations for everything is like asking a toddler how to solve a differential equation....

Vaikuntha | God's land or what people say as Afterlife?

(वैकुण्ठ, Vaikuṇṭha) It is impossible to deny the fact that all our efforts will end up of no use after death. Every day running back and forth for money is everyone’s daily routine. But in the end, we are not allowed to take anything with us after death. Even with modernized technology and such a peak in the medical industry, we are not able to find a way to live for eternity or even pain-free.  Do you ever wonder if there is a world/dimension with no fear of Death and pain? A life till the end of eternity? Too good to be a true theory? Or does that sound like God’s land? The Concept In Hinduism, Param Dharma is after death place, the home of spirits and souls. While material planets are Kuntha and have people with anxiety (fear of everyday situations). That’s what differs the most in the Spiritual world, i.e., Vaikuntha. Vaikuntha also means – Vai-kuntha without fear. Vaikuntha is beyond all the other lokas (worlds), guarded by Jaya and Vijaya, guardians of Vishnu’s realm. N...
