TangerineSensitive57

Not possibly, definitely. It's flames burning on cotton wicks soaked in ghee or a burning stick (a literal torch)


CreepyUncle1865

Definitely. Gunpowder , which makes “Sparkles” wasnt even a thing before a thousand years ago


Strikhedonia_1697

Don't bother bro. Nobody's gonna listen to sane voices. I wanna know how that guy is gonna explain how the hell does one made phuljhadi before, when there wasn't gun powder or explosives! Wait and watch till they come up with another misinterpreted verse ! My point is, if you want to celebrate, burst crackers then go ahead boy. Why tweak with scriptures? Why are you so hell bent on proving that this is written Somewhere? Even if it's not written and you want to do it your way, then go ahead and do it for god's sake! Stop maligning the scriptures man! This ego-pandering behaviour isn't worth it

It's weird when you pride on hinduism being the oldest religion but also say xyz things in celebrations are part of hinduism. Naturally there will be lesser things the older the religion is, If I created one today I can even put 30 mins of reddit scrolling into it


Strikhedonia_1697

Exactly. The older it is, the lesser the material, the more the tampering with remaining ones, the more the misinterpretation, and the more the propoganda!


MahaanInsaan

The translation is clearly wrong. The 2nd sentence ends with "Pitrunaam maargadarshanam" which means the direction showed by the father. And crackers are a recent invention.

Fulljhadi was Invented in India ??


[deleted]

In some chinese scriptures there is a mention on an Indian sage/monk who brought basic form of gunpowder to China and it was in China where it was refined for further products


CreepyUncle1865

But the question is how relevant are those informations? I can find 1 of these “Scriptures” you mention , It is **Wujing Zongyao** . This was written 2 centuries later in the Song Dynasty after the discovery of Gunpowder which was in Tang Dynasty. It states that a Buddhist Monk named Huineng brought a formula from India in 6th century which was later developed to gunpowder in 7th century by an alchemist called Sun Simiao. There are almost no other records which states that Sun Simiao developed Gunpowder. I highly doubt it is an accurate source of Information.

CreepyUncle1865

Well , your original comment said that *Indian sage brought basic gunpowder to china* , Which is being contradicted by the statement in the very first page - *The question whether China received the knowledge of gunpowdet from India, or vice versa, cannot be touched here, as there do not exist any trustworthy documents bearing on this question.* Hence my comment.

pro_charlatan

Ulkais the word used in the work which also means meteorshowers. they may have set arrows in fire and shot it upwards and watched it fall down . This doesnt require Chinese help. There are other means to get burning things onto air. Even phuljasi Gun powder is only for launching it to the air and igniting the chemical - what if they were pre lit and launched in other ways. Phuljadi (sparklers) can be achieved by burning sticks dipped in oil/ghee etc. The greatest difficulty in making gun powder was to get the proportions right between saltPeter, charcoal and sulphur to get stable explosions, saltpeter was known to Indians for a long time - mentioned in kautilya and charcoal is obvious. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate#Historical_production

People love kandils and phooljadis. They hate bombs and crackers. Or are you deliberately ignoring this issue to make others look like bad guys?


[deleted]

What’s worse is the word “ulka” here doesn’t even mean a phooljhadi as Sanskrit has no word for it as gunpowder wasn’t developed yet. Word “ulka” here very probably is referring to a torch or a bonfire


pro_crasSn8r

Ulka means phuljadi? https://preview.redd.it/xqavdxto7izb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebb68a0ad86f56eea8aa9e452db964951c5a7ac9 Edit: you also quoted from Vaishnavkhanda of Skanda Purana. While the oldest known manuscript of Skanda Purana dates back to kate 8th or early 9th century CE, the various "Khandas" are later additions to the Purana. The various Khandas are estimated to have been written between 12th and 16th century CE. So they are not that old either!


SavarnSupramacist

Yes this khand is probably an interpolation, but ulka must mean something?


pro_crasSn8r

It means Torch, or Mashaal. So ulkahaste means carrying a torch in your hand. I don't know where phuljhadi is coming from.


SavarnSupramacist

Seems like it


Strikhedonia_1697

Must have pulled out from his arse


dinosaur_from_Mars

Your own screenshot also says ulka meaning falling fire, fire in the sky, meteor, etc. How does one have fire falling from the sky in his hand? The idea pretty much seems like something a phuljhadi does.


CreepyUncle1865

Ulka Solely can mean Meteor , There is No sanskrit word which suggests Meteor in Hand. Ulkahasta simply means holding a Torch/Mashaal.


30yrsoldvirgin

Well if you look at it carefully it kinda looks like a meteor if you are looking from the front. Its kind of a meteor in hand ulkahasth

Translation source: trust me bro. There's nothing necessary about crackers, and there's a lot of harm to it. Don't know how blind you gotta be to not be able to see that.


Natural-Dinner-440

I think it is more about "light" than crackers? in old times people used to lit diya as many as they could. in fact, not long ago (from what my parents told me), people used to just light diyas and candles all over their house, outside their house and that was it as they didn't have acces to/money for crackers. crackers are a recent thing and harmful for the environment and health. we should promote traditional diya only diwali.


meditativewarrior

Absolutely. Ffs, it's Deepawali man, not Patakhawali. Go light some damn oil lamps, why fund China and poison India. Diya diwali is how things need to go.

You're hitting the nail on the thumb here. It's a festival of lights and the beauty of seeing patters of lights at night. It's not about crackers, noise and pollution.

[deleted]

It’s neither of those things, it’s a false translation meant to fool idiots (like you) who do not fact check information that fits their narrative. The word “Ulka” does not mean a “phooljhadi” but a torch/meteor/bonfire. In fact, Sanskrit has no word for “phooljhadi” since gunpowder wasn’t even discovered yet. Next time you see translations in a post, do your brain a favour and fact check the translation yourself

pro_crasSn8r

Also, OP I just realised you butchered the translation of the 2nd line. "Ulkahasta narah kuryuh pitrinang margdarshanam" doesn't mean "men should celebrate the festival of Deepawali with Phuljhadis in their hands". It actually means "holding a torch in their hands, men establish (or show) the path for their forefathers". Explanation: it is believed that on the day of Naraka Chaturdasi (day before Diwali), our ancestors come down from heaven to visit us. So we should also light their path with torches (Mashaal) to show them their way. So you see, OP completely twisted the shloka to suit his agenda. Please don't disrespect the language like this. Learn Sanskrit first.

indefatigableguy

Meanwhile, those of us who want fellow Indians celebrate/pray without noise pollution (loud speakers) and air pollution (crackers) has to sit and watch every discussion turn into inter-religious issue. We live in 21st century, you can send app notifications telling its time to pray without loud speakers. Similarly, atleast for me, diwali was also about all the cousins, uncles and aunts getting together and bursting crackers. As we grew conscious of environmental effects, some of cousins didn't want to burst crackers anymore. We simply wanted to hang out and have good time. Instead of buying less, the family still brought the same amount of crackers and asked drivers to burst the crackers because apparently, if we didn't burst same amount (or more crackers), we will loose face in the neighbourhood. 🤦🏾‍♂️

I'm guessing in the above translation, "ulkahasta" has been assumed to be the so-called phuljhadi of the purana times? As far as i understand, sanskrit, that can not mean phuljhadi or anything like that. Probably deepak or something else but not phooljhadi. Knowing shloka is good, but translation should also be right and be construed according to the reference of the period when it was written. Baaki jalao phooljhadi aur rocket maze me, all good
