What are the technological advancement and thoughts of amazing technologies in Vedas?

Lists are very anti-Stackexchange, so it's not a very good question – asymptotically Aug 21 '13 at 12:07
Didn't get your point...anti-stackexchange?? – ArhsaBharatha Aug 21 '13 at 17:29
I think he means listing is not accepted as an answer in stackexchange sites... In my opinion, an answer could have lists. So instead of explicitly asking for a list, the question could be re-framed as "What are the technological advancement and thoughts of amazing technologies in Vedas?" – RBK Sep 4 '13 at 20:42
okay,got that... – ArhsaBharatha Sep 5 '13 at 6:05

why gods in Hinduism carries weapons? whats the significance of each of them?
added by krishna Apr 13 '13 at 4:48

1  
its too broader question. – Ankit Sharma Apr 14 '13 at 19:54
I do not feel the first part of the questions is to broad. The reason why Hindu gods have weapons while Abhramic Gods don't is a valid discussion to look at view point of Hindu religion. – RBK Jul 6 '13 at 22:48
1  
While your first question is not broad as you yourself have stated, you can't expect others to write about the significance of each weapon carried by the gods since they carry large varieties of weapons. – Dharmaputhiran Aug 14 '13 at 18:10

By downvoting, do you mean Kamasutra is not from Hinduism or do you mean it's not a good question even though it is from Hinduism.? – Mawia Jul 26 '13 at 11:07

Kamasutra does have it's origin in Hinduism. I don't know this was down voted. Hinduism was once very open to discuss about sex. Unfortunately that culture has gone. – RBK Jul 28 '13 at 23:51
Yes its from the Hindu origin, its a good question to go for... – K Cloud Aug 10 '13 at 10:51
