Dakshayani should be merged into this article. Parvati is the most common name. Imc 10:12, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Good idea, unfortunately there are many hinduism pages on wikipedia that should only be one. Before there was Shiva and Mahadeva, and there are many more to still be merged. Template:DaGizza/Sg 10:42, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

no....because.......other ppl might look for parvati

What do you mean, that makes no sense. When people are looking for Dakshayani or Parvati, they are looking for the same goddess, until you have some strange sort of Hindu cult. Template:DaGizza/Sg 08:32, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


I predict that anyone who knows anything about Hindusism would reccomend that the two be merged. Personally, I believe the best course of action is to just change the Dakshayani page to Parvati! Sethie 18:52, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Merger is not required as there is some differences. I will add fresh inputs to these two pages to make the matter clear. --Bhadani 15:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


Clarification

I realise that the two wives of Shiva were actually two birth (incarnations) on earth of the same goddess Uma. The first wife renounced her material self in order to be born "the daughter of a father who she could respect", was thus reborn, and wed the same lord Shiva again. I have made specific mention of all this in the Dakshayani article.

However, when I first created the "Dakshayani" page on 16/July/05, I designed it specifically to deal with the many legend and devotions regarding the FIRST wife of Shiva. This was a daughter of Daksha, hence I chose the appropriate name "Dakshayani" (which cannot be confused with "Parvati") as the title. I know that several names of Dakshayani (including "Sati", "Gowri" and "Lalitha") are also routinely applied to Parvati, second wife of Shiva and daughter of Himavan. However, the cluster of legends associated with Parvati had best be kept on the "Parvati" page while the "Dakshayani" page is devoted to the first Avatara. This is best; please keep it so.

As an anology, Rama & Krishna are both avataras of the same Vishnu; does it make sense to merge the three articles together? Similarly this case. ImpuMozhi 02:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
