Talk:The 36 tattvas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When finished this article should be quite important to the Kashmir Shaivism topic. The 36 tattvas represent the centerpiece of the system. Without them there can be no understanding of other topics such as malas, jivatman, atman, Siva, Sakti and many other.Visarga 09:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I have worked on this page on my home page. There are still 15 tattvas that are in skeletal form (they need to be expanded). The history of edits is up until this version is in my homepage. Unfortunately the article came out very very long but I didn't want to break it in 36 either. Compared to the sister article Tattva, this article wants to be much more in depth.
We need to put links to other topics from all the special words. We need to reformat references from my hand-code. The (!) marks represent words that need proper diacritics in Sanskrit. There is a need for further wikification. Also, the article is close to 32K - might need breaking up into 36(? auch!). Help is appreciated. Let's make this article work!

I fixed the references and some words not yet transcribed in Sanskrit diacritics.
Can anyone help me with a more exact classification of Kashmiri Shaivism in rapport to the phylosophy of the mind? an idealist monistic world view where transcendence is present right in the middle of physical. Thus, there is no dualism between spirit and matter (could we call it transcendental physicalism?). Visarga 08:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Use of bold font
Please note, we don't use bold font like that. Almost all the bold text should be changed to italics. Only the subject of the article should be bolded. IPSOS (talk) 13:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I switched bold to italics. Visarga 14:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've rebolded the subject of the article, which is the one thing that should be bolded. IPSOS (talk) 14:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing the wikify tag
I have finished parsing the article and wikifying. I don't know if I am supposed to lift the tag myself or wait for the one who put it to lift it. If the article is still not ok, please tag and explain so I know what to work on. Visarga 16:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
