Talk:Rudra

Rudra = Shiva

In many Hindu religious literature,Rudra is considered a form of Lord Shiva .Sadhguru also said that Rudra is a form of Lord Shiva ShikaDikaMika (talk) 09:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

That is in later literature. On this page, Rudra refers to the Rigvedic deity, of which shiva was an epithet. Rudra eventually evolved into Shiva, but it would be innaccurate to post-label Rudra as a form of Shiva here. Chariotrider555 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:36, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Is it possible to present a picture of the original vedic Rudra?

According to Athony's The horse, the wheel and Language the original vedic god was very similar to Heracles, smashing his enemies with a club. The later Hindu evolution, seeing it as a version of Shiva has little to do with this original god and the picture shown has nothing to do with that. So I would like to see the article giving information (and if possible showing) this original deity. For me the later evolution is fine (but far less interesting), but please tell us more on the origins and the connections to other indo-european societies.

pasted meta comment: Yajur Veda translation table

The following is a comment removed from the article itself:

The Yajur Veda translation table under “Epithets of supreme rule” needs to be cleaned up; the transliteration standardized; the so-called "modern translation" should be removed, because it is not necessary or helpful. Do these lines constitute a single verse, or are they separate verses drawn from different places in the text? That needs to be made clear. Socksage (talk) 08:58, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
