[edit] "Intensives"

Article says: "The main practices of Siddha Yoga include meditation, chanting, seva, dakshina, satsang and intensives."
I believe that I understand the meaning of "intensives", but I assume that there will be readers for whom this is not obvious. Therefore, could a definition or link for this please be provided in the article. (Not just mentioned here.) Thanks. -- 201.37.229.117 (talk) 23:54, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, please feel free to add a definition (with a link as a source).TheRingess (talk) 02:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your welcome. I am unable to provide a definition or cite, or I would have done so. Nevertheless, I believe that both should be included in the article. -- 201.37.229.117 (talk) 23:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll add it to the to do list for this article.TheRingess (talk) 23:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
