Namaste. I reverted your well-intentioned change of a quotation in the Shiva article which had the effect of reducing the quote to simple English transliteration. What was there included the important vowel emphasis using an older transliteration method. Now we are moving toward making IAST a standard for these transliterations using the IAST template, e.g.: {{IAST|śiva}}. If you would like to help with this effort let me know!
