[edit] Discussion

Just made an edit the main purpose of which was to move the Sri Yukteswar material into a separate section, as it is not the mainstream view and thus could be confusing to anyone wanting to research Hinduism. I actually know more about Sri Yukteswar's theories than I do about the traditional Hindu view (the material I added in the top part comes from the references I inserted, and everything below those references is from the previous writers). But I know they are not the same and feel they should not be conflated.

Am posting this here to alert any interested parties that anyone with more knowledge of Hinduism should probably chime in and expand this article. Or anyone more expert in Wikipedia might want to move the Sri Yukteswar section onto its own page. - Yarrowwood

Yarrowwood, I've edited the Sri Yukteswar section for clarity. It needs more work, in my opinion, to make its point in a more concise manner. ॐ Priyanath 00:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Reference to Surat Shabd

Just made an edit to remove the reference to Surat Shabd yoga. The reference to one of many minor schools is really relevant (that too right at the beginning).-MT

[edit] Yuga unit of measurement (Merging request with Maha Yuga)

The addition of the 4 Yugas sum to Maha Yuga. BalanceΩrestored Talk 11:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

See Hindu units of measurement BalanceΩrestored Talk 11:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC).
The merger has to be done carefully. There could be articles those could be using this Yuga as a unit of measurement, and some could be using this article as the sum of four Yugas. Only the articles those referring to the sum of the four yugas need to be pointing here (After merger Maha Yuga). The rest need to point to Yuga Unit.BalanceΩrestored Talk 12:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
