A fact from Haridasa Thakur appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 8 June 2008.

Just a question about NPOV. This article seems to be written from the POV of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. I am wondering if other Hindus agree with narrative. If so, great. If not, I wonder if more viewpoints can be included in a neutral way. ~chmrjg

Hi chmrjg, All and every possible source is to be used and was used in this article, so views of ISKCON are represented, as well as some other Hindu views. The person is a saint in ISKCON so naturally this POV will be notable. If you have ANY other reliable sources please do not hesitate to add. Some views expressed in the article are not shared by anyone in ISKCON, as for example the Advaita Prakasha book is not quoted in any ISKCON sources. Another important thing to note, Haridasa Thakur would never be called a yavana or mleccha in ISKCON. Please refer to respective sources used and noted in the article.

Hi Wikidās. Thanks. chmrjg

How could someone recite a four syllable name 300,000 times in a day? That's more than 13 syllables per second.Jstenberg (talk) 17:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

It takes an average 2 hours to get 1728 Mantras aloud (hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare/hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare) each has 16 named 16x1728 = 27648 names. If you are fast it takes about 1 1/2 for that. So in 16 hours you will be finished. I think its worth a try. Wikidās ॐ 18:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
