[edit] Rana Chandra Singh

Help needed with this article. Feel free. yousaf465'

[edit] Criticism of Hinduism

This article should be reviewed. Pollinosisss (talk) 12:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Purna avatar

There appears to be more information on this in the article avatar than the stub. It also only refers to Vishnu, whereas it appears the term has application elsewhere as well. I suggest this article is redirected to avatar#Shaktyavesa and Avesa avatars until such time as it needs to be split from avatar. Does this seem reasonable? --MegaSloth (talk) 01:27, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Purna avatar is a sad stub indeed. I think it should just redirect straight to Avatar. With just a quick search, I couldn't find any reliable sources for "Shaktyavesa" or the variant "Sakshat avatar". So that section in the Avatar article should probably be condensed and renamed Purna Avatar, imo. Priyanath ^talk 02:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks you confirmed my suspicions. I've gone ahead and boldly made the redirect you suggest; objectors feel free to revert and discuss. Apart from removing the now-circular link, I've left the avatar article alone for contributors more familiar with the material to alter. Cheers. --MegaSloth (talk) 10:45, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sri Kripalvananda

This article was/is under siege by at least half-dozen newly and non-registered editors -- all utter devotees of subject guru.

These editors seem neither to understand nor care about aims of Wikipedia.

Semi protection expires soon, at which point it is sure to become a low-brow advertisment for the guy, plucked from his Web site.

Due to non-notability and lack of good sources, perhaps article should be deleted.

It's not presently very acceptable.

[edit] Mathura, Uttar Pradesh entry

"Mathura is reputed to be the Gaybar of Krishna at the centre of the main gay community in Braja or Brij-bhoomi, called Krishna-janma-bhoomi, literary 'Krishna's Gay bar'." Is this accurate? I question whether this vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Psyeudonymous Contreras (talk • contribs) 20:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

It was vandalism and has been reverted. Abecedare (talk) 22:11, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sri Chakra

There's a request for moving the article to Sri Yantra. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 05:45, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Puru or Porus

There seems to be confusion with the name Puru. The confusion is between Puru who was Yayati's son and Puru (Porus) who battled with Alexander. In many places it has been mentioned that Puru (Porus) was a descendant of Shoorsainis and the reference is "James Tod, Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan". I checked the book and found James Tod is mentioning that Puru son of Yayati was the ancestor of Prasioi. Also another sentence says the following: "Puru became the patronymic of this branch of the Lunar race. Of this Alexander's historians made Porus. The Suraseni of Methoras (descendants of the Sursen of Mathura) were all Purus, the Prasioi of Megasthenes" This only means Sursen of Mathura were descendants of Puru (Yayati's son) not Porus.

[edit] Shrimad Bhagbat Geeta - Sanatan Dharma

First of all there is no religion called Hinduism (this name has no where been mentioned in any of ancient books). It should be described as Sanatan Dharma (ancient/basic religion). The war of Kurukshetra and origine of Shrimad Bhagbat Geeta should be quoted. Moreover the timings in different places are imaginary. Please correct it otherwise delete this topic from wikipedia. I had great respect to this site but after reading this article, i had to believe that this article has been written by amature writers without any proper research. I request the Editor of the site to modify this topic otherwise delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.214.173.187 (talk) 00:50, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
