The Indian Culture represented in the destiny Universe:

Sticking in Asia, today we look at India, as well as Hinduism and Buddhism references in Destiny: Weapons: - Bronzed Yamaduta-SR4 (Hinduism) - messengers of death according to Hinduism. - Pariah (Indian) - A member of the Paraijar caste in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. - Naraka SR4 (Hinduism) - Naraka is a place where souls are sent for the expiation of their sins. Ships: - Karuna, Falling (Buddhism) - the concept of compassion in Buddhism I known as Karunā. The flavour text for this ship reads, ‘there is nothing more ruthless than compassion’. Characters: Thanks to user Brickinthewall87 [quote]- Ahamkara (Hinduism) - one of the four parts of the antahkarma (inner organ) described in Hindu philosophy. It’s a Sanskrit term, related to the ego. The ego is a very selfish stated conscience, which the in game Ahamkara set out to enhance in Guardians, giving them wisdom and Power, promoting Egoism.[/quote] Thanks to user WiErDScIeNcE11: [quote]- SIVA (Hinduism) - Shiva (also known as Siva) is known as a Supreme Being, god of destruction, Destroyer of Evil, god of yoga, meditation and arts. The in game SIVA has a parallel with the god, as SIVA has been used by Rasputin and the House of Devils as a force of destruction. [/quote] [spoiler]if you got this far, thank you for reading. I’d really appreciate if you leave any that I couldn’t find and I’ll edit OP with your find. Link to my master post https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/247827988/0/0 [/spoiler]

  • I dont agree about SIVA having to be Shiva Goddess of Death, force if destruction. That's a very narrow interpretation of of what it was designed for and only what the [b]Fallen[/b] have done with it.
