A very nice article, and a great collaboration between WikiProjects. Still some scope for expansion perhaps. --kingboyk 20:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Radha Krsna Temple

Discussion from WikiProject The Beatles:

>>Radha Krishna Temple (NB, I suspect this may be a blue link somewhere, i.e. an article on this organisation) (1 link)

I think the link you're looking for is International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Hmm... Probable and plausible (ISKON of course George worked with; the article mention that Radha is Krishna's female counterpart), but something a bit more concrete would be great. If they're certainly one and the same, Radha Krishna Temple could be added to Category:Apple Records recording artists and redirected to International Society for Krishna Consciousness. It would be great to get another red link crossed off, but I don't want to do that unless certain. (And if International Society for Krishna Consciousness is Apple's Radha Krishna Temple we'll need to get a mention into that article. Currently it doesn't even mention George). --kingboyk 08:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Doing some research on the web I've come up with what I believe is the answer. The Radha Krshna Temple (note spelling) at 7 Bury Place, London was the original headquarters of the ISKCON movement in the UK and was founded late 60's or 1970 (the movement only began in 1966). An Apple album (SAPCOR 18) Radha Krsna Temple by Radha Krsna Temple was released in 1970 see Apple Records discography. This press release details the album release. More details of the album are available here and. here. A detailed desciption on George's involvement in the 'movement' is available here. This may be sufficient info for an article on its own? simonthebold 20:51, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Nice work. I'd say an article on the Radha Krsna Temple detailing the Apple releases and George's involvement with them would be wonderful. We have a picture of the album and some sources (but be careful with these sources as none of them are high quality). Citations can be added using <ref>, and a section added to the ISKCON article with {{main}}. If you'd like to start the article I'm happy to provide copy editing, categorisation and templating services! --kingboyk 13:09, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
I've posted a request for assistance and/or further info at Talk:International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness#Radha_Krsna_Temple_on_Apple_Records, and asked for replies here. --kingboyk 13:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Nice idea for an article. The Radha and Krishna deities from the original Bury place temple are now in the ISKCON temple on Soho Square in London. They are known as 'Radha-Londonishvara'. That's where the 'Radha Krsna Temple' name came from. I'll see what info I dig out for the main page. Best Wishes, GourangaUK 13:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll tidy what's here. We seem to be a bit light on info about the Apple release though, which is what this page is supposed to be about :) ISKCON have an article already, remember... --kingboyk 11:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I think we'd be better off disaggregating the information about the temple from the information about the Apple recordings, especially because my copies of the Radha Krishna Temple singles on Apple use a different artist spelling than the one officially used by the London temple as discussed herein. --AyaK 20:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
To extend my point a little -- the album was indeed called "Radha Krsna Temple" -- I have an Apple poster for it that uses that name. However, the artist that made the album and the singles "Hare Krishna Mantra" and "Govinda" was credited as "Radha Krishna Temple". Am I the only one who thinks we need to disaggregate the album from the artist? If so, I'll leave it the way it is, with just an explanatory note regarding the spellings. --AyaK 18:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Krishna is spelled as Kṛṣṇa when using IAST characters. Sometimes the IAST version is translated into straight English without the changes for pronunciation, but both mean the same thing. Regards, Gouranga(UK) 20:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. It's a matter of mere spelling. Personally I consider one good comprehensive article to be far superior to 2 short articles. --kingboyk 22:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Next steps

I've refactored the stub, added categories, templates and images, and set up redirects. I'd be really grateful now if Krishna-movement editors could fill in details of the temple, Apple experts fill in details of the album, and well... anyone to fill in details of George's involvement with the Temple. Then we can look at adding a brief synopsis to the International Society for Krishna Consciousness article, pointing to here with the {{Main}} template. --kingboyk 12:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
