Yagneshwara (avatar)Yagya (avatar)

Most Hindu scriptures as well as secondary references quoted aboe use Yagya/Yajna, and not Yagneshwara/Yajneshwara. Hinduism has many similar terms like Agni (that stands for fire as well as its deity), Prithvi (earth), Vayu (wind), Surya (Sun) etc.; however the concept of Yagya/Yajna's (fire-sacrifice) association with Vishnu as an avatar is more of a Vaishnava one, others also associate Yajna with Agni too. About the merge: The section on Yagya (avatar) was put in Yagya first about a year or so ago, but was removed as it was considered essentially a Vaishnava POV. --Redtigerxyz Talk 16:06, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well, yes, that's because we have an article on Fire, not on agni; and so on. It so happens that we have an article both on the sacrifice (for which there is no native English word) and on the eponymous divinity; but they can be merged, which should resolve any sectarian difficulties.

I created the this article after the section I wrote on Yagya (avatar) was removed from Yagya article. Another problem is that Yagya (avatar) is also a character in Hindu mythology and should have its own article. --Redtigerxyz Talk 04:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • There seems no reason not to use the common name here; if that's Yagya, then the article should be titled as proposed. If it's Yag/jneshwara, then there's no need for the "(avatar)" in the title. --Kotniski (talk) 10:22, 2 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yagya (avatar)Yajna (avatar) – Since Yajna is moved back from Yagya (Talk:Yajna#Requested_move_2), this article also needs to be moved to Yajna spelling. Redtigerxyz Talk 09:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
