Disambiguation

It has been suggested that the page become a disambiguation page for Bhagavata, which can refer to either of two different religious traditions from two different time periods, as well as an abbreviated name of the Bhagavata Purana. This proposal can be discussed here. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 18:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I support the proposal. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 18:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support proposal for disambiguation. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 18:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal clarification I would appreciate if you can outline which two different religious traditions you mean. As I can see the need of the disambiguation but some conclude that 4 c. BC Bhagavata and current Bhagavata sampradaya are the same tradition, and others are branches of that tradition, we need to have one article for all bhagavata traditions? I propose to have 3 main entries in disambiguation

Bhagavata religious traditions that include anscient Bhagavatism as a section, as well as other traditions that belong to this line,
Bhagavata as the name of purana, with the associated meanings of the term.
Bhagavata as a devotee of Bhagavata Purana or Bhagavata(within one of the traditons belonging to Bhagavata No1.)Wikidās ॐ 16:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Narayana worship is non vedic?

Narayana the seer who composed Purusha Sukta(10th mandala of Rigveda),was later deified as the supreme God,how is that non vedic?(the flowchart says so) Nijgoykar (talk) 02:56, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is really nuts.49.207.61.24 (talk) 10:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very incorrect statement. Refer to the main Narayana article for his origin. Chronikhiles (talk) 04:15, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename article as Bhagavatism

For both the purposes of distinguishing the article from other related traditions, and to designate it as the cult rather than its adherents, I propose it be renamed as Bhagavatism. If you agree, please do respond with your assent below. Chronikhiles (talk) 04:19, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Misrepresentation of image on Coin

The main page shows a coin. The explanatory note with the coin is <<Historically, the Bhagavatas worshipped Vāsudeva-Krishna. An early depiction of Vāsudeva-Krishna on a coin of Agathocles of Bactria, 190–180 BCE.>> This is incorrect. The Brahmi inscription on the coin reads Agathoclisia (Agathocles). Similar coins from Takshashila show the same name in the Greek script. Again a claim is made that the figure is Samkarshana (Balram).

. The fact is the figure in both coins is Agathocles and his name appears on both coins (in Greek on one and in Brahmi on the other). He is dressed , as can be expected, in the greek style,complete with helmet and short skirt. In one coin the figure is holding an 8 spoked wheel wich is clearly Buddhas Dhamma Chakra because Agathocles followed the Buddhist faith. By no stretch of imagination can the coins be for Keishn/ Balram.

So , claiming that the coins represent Krishna / Balram is pure motivated conjecture. Ajayjo (talk) 09:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
