[edit] Help note

We need assessors at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Hinduism/Assessment. All you need to do is look at Hinduism related articles and judge how good they look, its extremely backlogged. Bakaman Bakatalk 05:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Badrinath

Can you move the content to the Badrinath temple page? We want the town page to contain generic info, while the religious contents be moved to the temple page.

Thanks. Balajiviswanathan 07:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading the images. You could edit the Badrinath temple article and suitably add the images along with the contents that you have. Balajiviswanathan 23:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mantak Chia stuff

I've removed the instruction parts from those two articles. It seems that they could be made into good articles about the techniques. Perhaps they should be merged into somewhere, but where? I'd recommend if you still think they should be deleted to AfD them rather than speedy them. If they deserve speedying, an admin who sees the AfD may do it... —Hanuman Das 13:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neem Karoli Baba

Hey, I'm glad you are watching this article too. I'll leave it to you for a while. —Hanuman Das 02:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't really watching - but I've had his photo on my userpage for awhile, and noticed that photo had been replaced on his article page, and saw someone post on your userpage about the article. So I had to take a look. I'll do some cleaning up there. ॐ Priyanath 03:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd rather not have the new user thinking I'm being too hard on him. Good work on your part, so far. :-) —Hanuman Das 03:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Krishna

Wow, that is a good portrait of Krishna. I didn't see all the new pictures, thanks for letting me know. Cheers!--Seadog 04:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neem Karoli Baba

moving the discussion here so as to not clutter up the discussion...

  • Ultra-speedy instant Keep Notable person - several books written about him. Well known in the U.S. and in India. Can an admin do this quickly? Clearly this is an abuse of the AdD tag. What's to keep people from putting an AfD tag on anything? ॐ Priyanath 17:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
    • comment: nothing stops people from tagging for AfD; that's why we have debates before deleting tagged stuff. What's notable to me may have been tagged by you; the discussion is to determine whether it's notable at large. --user:Qviri 18:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
      • comment: I understand, but the subject seems so obviously notable, universally and at large, as the comments here declare, that it appears to be an abuse of the AfD process to me. Are five speedy keeps, two keeps, and no deletes enough for an admin to speedy keep this article? ॐ Priyanath 18:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
        • No offence meant to anyone, but this is the first time I've come across the person... and last I checked I was part of the universe :p. Example off the top of my head, I know people who would consider God is an Astronaut more notable than Neem Karoli Baba. Sure, it seems like a bad faith nomination to me as well, but there's no reason not to assume good faith, even if just for the heck of it. It's pretty obvious that the article is going to be kept, more than likely within a day. Having a box with a link to a discussion page on top of the page for a day isn't going to hurt anyone.
        • I understand the jitters of having the tag up on an article one cares about... but in this case there's really nothing to get worked up about. --user:Qviri 19:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks - no jitters, I just don't like seeing a bad-faith nomination given any support. I know it will be kept after all, whether today or in a few days. Thanks for your hand-holding :-) ॐ Priyanath 19:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry if I sounded condescending – didn't mean to. Happy editing. --user:Qviri 20:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
If you were condescending, I probably deserved it, so no apologies neccessary. It was just speedily kept, so I was just being a nervous nellie after all. ॐ Priyanath 20:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
WoW! I can't believe NKB got nominated and speedily kept, all while I was at work!! I didn't even get to vote. —Hanuman Das 01:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I can't believe it was even nominated. I probably raised more of a stink (at WP:ANI) than was needed, but it was such a bad faith nomination that I didn't want to see that tag there longer than a few hours. I have a feeling that there was more going on than meets the eye - like why did someone with only 18 previous edits even know about AfD, and why that article.... ॐ Priyanath 02:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Ah, looked at the user's contribs. It was apparently in retaliation for my voting keep in the Risk-aware consensual kink AfD. —Hanuman Das 02:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

As expected, the article is back to business. -- Szvest ····> Wiki Me Up ® 16:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your vote - apparently it was a bad-faith nom after all, based on the comment just above yours here. ॐ Priyanath 18:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Microcosmic Orbit

Sir, Regarding your claim that Hariharananda teaches techniques other than Kriya Yoga. Who are you comparing his teachings to and how do you determine what is the correct Kriya? What is the benchmark? In the absence of Babaji, Lahiri, Sri Yukteswar, Kebalananda etc. how can anyone reliably determine what is the correct Kriya? It seems to me that you only think Yogananda's autobiography a reliable source, but how would you know what Yogananda taught, (other than the limited descriptions in Autobiograhy)- or do you base your knowledge on SRF correspondence style Kriya? Does this explain why you persist with the minority POV that Kriya Yoga traditionally doesn't need to be taught by a realized master? It seems to me that good or bad Hariharananda and now Prajnanananda's teachings most closely resemble the orthodoxy of Yogananda, Satyananda and therefore your namesake Sri Yukteswar. I suspect that you are being a oddly pedantic here in order to retain a sense of editorial authority. Your edit of the last Kriya change was splitting hairs in the extreme. To back up an argument with..."everyone knows that" is a lazy way to justify a point.Jzkramer 08:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Badrinath Temple

It looks good. Thanks. You could also link the temple spring images that you said, you have Balajiviswanathan 19:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I added a higher res version of the hot springs/bath house image that I took. ॐ Priyanath 19:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and good of you to revert nonsense from Hinduism.

[edit] Re: AFD

Thanks for bringing that to my attention - actually, the article was deleted, but the individual seems to have recreated it. I have speedy deleted the article per criterion G4, recreation of content which was previously deleted under our rules. (ESkog)(Talk) 23:05, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Indian caste system

Namaskar Priyanath you may want to check out the discussion there on all the issues.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-Hindu propaganda through subversive way on talk page of Hinduism?

Pl. see the efforts of Abecedare to incorporate mischievous links. Pl. give your view to remove entire discussion if we have to maintain non-sense links on talk page. swadhyayee 01:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good call on Kanchi_kamakoti_pitha

Didn't realize it was picked up from a website. Cheers. Cribananda 23:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

No worries mate :-) And I rather like Shamu. Cribananda 01:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jahbulon

I know it's outside your field, but it seems one or two editors are keeping an {unencyclopedic} tag on this article. It looks perfectly encyclopedic to me. Could you take a look and register your opinion (if you form one) on the poll on the talk page? —Hanuman Das 04:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
