[edit] Samadhi (poem)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Samadhi (poem), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] You deserve one

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
Hi Priyanath, I humbly award you this barnstar. I feel it was long overdue. Wikipedia survives and thrives because of people like you - people who think it is worth their time to uphold honesty and fairplay. Sarvagnya 19:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

I am not one for sending round pretty pictures, but after my recent RfA, which passed 68/1/7, I am now relaxed and this is to thank you for your support. I will take on board all the comments made and look forward to wielding the mop with alacrity. Or two lacrities. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 21:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] links

You have removed links to my site The God light, you have stated that I have been spamming. i had a link on the Gandhi article that you removed. the link was to external sites. Now i have a web page that had audio of Gandhi talking, which I thought people would listen to. My site does not make money it is only interested in talking about spiritual people like Gandhi. Looking at other links other people have done similar. i could understand if I was selling hundreds of books about Gandhi, but i am not, I was merley adding some more information, in the part of wikipedia that I thought i could ammend. If I had no extra information on my site on anyone I would not put a link. If you can understand me, I felt i was just adding to wikipedia, not spamming. So I would be glad if you looked at what you have done again as all I was trying to show on any links were video or audio clips that was not shown on wikipedia. God Bless —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonjbrm (talk • contribs) 22:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

It's a conflict of interest to add links to your own website to Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia:EL#Advertising and conflicts of interest explains what you should do instead: go to the talk page of the article and ask someone to add the link for you. If it's really relevant to the article, someone will add it. I don't think you're going to have much luck with having other editors add links to your website on Wikipedia, though, and editors will remove any links that you yourself add to articles. ~ priyanath talk 22:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I really appreciate the work you are doing on Ramakrishna. Thank you very much. Mankar Camorantalk 20:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ramakrishna

I have now significantly shortened the section on the positive reception of Kali's Child. Please let me know if you still feel that the article gives undue weight to this topic. — goethean ॐ 17:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the notice. I'll give other editors a chance before I get back into it in a couple of days. I've found that strictly one-on-one edit disputes often aren't very productive (for the article itself, and for my own time). I have some other things I need to do in the meantime (other articles, and sit in the sun in my garden!). ~ priyanath talk 19:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crowley/Krishna debate

Glad to see that we (by which I mean all of the editors involved) are finally beginning to reach a peaceful compromise on the subject, as opposed to the potential edit wars and blocks I had feared. --Shruti14 t c s 05:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it's good to see an outbreak of goodwill and compromise! ~ priyanath talk 19:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Prayerflags.png

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Prayerflags.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 05:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Just wow. Please educate yourself. — goethean ॐ 00:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

So, steamy fiction is 'Contemporary Scholarship' in your POV—that explains a great deal. So does this analogy that is sometimes attributed to Sri Ramakrishna (Warning: Introspection Ahead):
"When a pickpocket sees a saint, all he sees are the saint's pockets." ~ priyanath talk 19:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
The same could just as easily be said of religious conservatives who paint 19th century tantrics in their own image. — goethean ॐ 21:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Psychoanalysis, which is still considered pseudoscience by many, has nothing to do with tantra. Seeing er, 'pockets' everywhere you look is a form of spiritual and cultural reductionism that is itself conservative. ~ priyanath talk 00:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Deconstruction and New Criticism, for example, also have nothing to do with tantra, and are also not science. This has no bearing on the validity of their use in interpreting texts. — goethean ॐ 20:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi -- do you know if he actually mentions precession when he talks about the dual, or is this just the Binary Institute trying to get publicity in this article and Holy Science?Doug Weller (talk) 19:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You vote is needed

Priyananthji, You were recently contributing to articles that are in the scope of the new project WP:KRISHNA, I thought you may want to check the proposal of merger and cast your vote in relation of the additional section to article Krishna. Thanks. --Wikidās-ॐ 14:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Scope, update and voting
Whats new at Krishna's project
Wikipedia:WikiProject Krishnaism - whats new and happening!
Please note the results of the vote on the proposal of merging new article on early worship of Krishna Vasudeva to the main article dedicated to the Hindu deity Krishna.
  • Krishna Vasudeva may have been worshiped in 4 century BC as a monotheistic deity.
  • This article is to be incorporated in a separate section of Krishna article.
  • Also, if you are ready to help with editing and assessment of the scope, please see the project page, and add your name to the list of participants.
More on the topic.
How will it be defined.

While the name of the project is WikiProject Krishnaism in common language many seems to prefer a wider term "Vaishnavism", which however appeared to relate to Vishnu. Krishnaism is more of an academic term. On the other hand even one of the first Indologists to use the term, Albrecht Weber was to consider that that the essence of Krishnaism, bhakti or the principle of "God is love", was pre-Christian. There were and are many traditions where Krishna is worshiped and His names revered.

There was a discussion (and a heated one) on the scope of the project and the term here. Currently the scope is quite wide and aims at improving articles related to Radha-Krishna and associated traditions where they are worshiped: Manipuri Vaishnavas, Bhagavata, Gaudiya Vaishnava, Nimbarka sampradaya, Swaminarayana sampradaya, Vallabha sampradaya; If you see a need to widen or restrict the scope please voice your opinion - it is wanted!

Just leave a few words here.

[edit] Gandhi

Hey,

There's a discussion going on about the name on the Gandhi page. Please weigh in here. Thanks Nikkul (talk) 01:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
