[edit] POV
The NPOV tag has been added for this reason:
See Sri Sacchidananda Bharati I#Pontificate:
"Swami Sacchidananda Bharati's pontificate(1623-63) was mostly cast in a period of turmoil, civil wars, anarchy and lawlessness, which engulfed this region of India. Narasimha (25th Pontiff) soon acquired mastery of the Vedas and the Sastras and later visited many famous shrines which helped to cultivate in him the attitude of a supreme devotee. Meticulous in the performance of the duties ordained to a brahmachari the desire was kindled in him to enter the grihasta stage of life and lead the ideal life of that asrama. He travelled to Sringeri in the hope of winning the hand of the daughter of his maternal uncle, who was then scholar in the Math. The then Jagadguru Narasimha Bharati discovered in Narasimha all the makings of a successful Acharya and persuaded him to take sannyasa. The moment Narasimha made up his mind to take up the Holy Order, all his vasanas disappeared and he shone with great spiritual effulgence. Such was the spiritual power of the then Sringeri Acharya, and such powers have often been manifested in the past by Acharyas of the Sringeri Parampara. Sri Sachchidananda, the newly ordained Swami, soon succeeded to the Peetha. Through the power of his tapasya and mantrasiddhi, he saved Sringeri from spoilation.[1] Besides his great austerities, he had an uncanny genius for administration. It is no wonder that contemporary Princes and Administrators, including Muslims, held him in great reverence. We should remember this great Guru among the hierarchy of Peethadhipathis [See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagadguru_of_Sringeri_Sharada_Peetham], for he had been chosen from Southern Tamilnadu to the Sringeri Math."
You might observe that there are too many POV stuff in the article. It looks like a eulogy of an ardent devotee. Thanks -RavichandarMy coffee shop 17:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
understand that this was done in good faith.. Actually I need help to understand how these tags can be removed...How to go about doing this? What is the process? Ravichandar had mentioned that copying verbatim infuses pov...But he did not elaborate on how to go about removing it. I would like to know - If these sentences in this paragraph can be rephrased or ask someone else to read the biography and represent what is in the biography in his own words... I have added a lot of references now... I would like to know the process for removal of NPOV and wikify Kbala1055 (talk) 05:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I have made the changes as follows: 1. Supreme has been removed 2. "Uncanny genius" is removed 3. "It is no wonder that contemporary Princes and Administrators, including Muslims, held him in great reverence. We should remember this " - These sentences are removed.
I feel the rest can be kept as such... "The great spiritual effulgence" cannot be removed as in the Pg no 45 of the biography - part- I , this sanskrit sloka clearly demonstrates this: Upadishtamahamantro mahasa samashobatha| udayaachalamaaruda: sharadeeva Divakara:||
The author R Krishnaswamy Iyer provides Tamil meaning here: Mahavakyam upadesanmanavudan viseshamana Tejas Erpattadu. SaradKalttil Kalayil udayamana suryan pola prakasittar.
After he was given upadesa of this mahavakyam, he shone with special radiance. or effulgence. He shone like a rising sun in the monsoon season.
Let me know if the tag can be removed. Kbala1055 (talk) 11:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
