Problems with this article[edit]

It's almost unintelligible internationally because it uses so many Hindu terms without any context.
The title is "Kaadsiddheshwar", but it seems to be about just one of many Kaadsiddheshwars.
After the words "During His discourses, he would often quote the Mahāvākyas", I have deleted viz, Ayam Atma Brahma - "This Self (Atman) is Brahman" (Mandukya Upanishad 1.2 of the Atharva Veda), Tat Tvam Asi - "Thou art That" (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7 of the Sama Veda), Aham Brahmasmi - "I am Brahman" (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10 of the Yajur Veda), because this is completely unintelligible to the unitinitiated.

Kaadsiddheshwar Parampara[edit]

I've got a question: is the The Kaadsiddheshwar Parampara is the same as the Inchegeri Sampradaya? Or is the Inchegeri Sampradaya an offshoot? Joshua Jonathan (talk) 13:23, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The link used to document this group does not work for me. [1] Can others check if it is a working link? If not, it should be removed. The lede of the article seems to miss the main classification for this man and his traiditon, as he is a Lingayat (see Lingayatism). The emphasis on the "Nine Masters parampara" seems inappropriate to me as many groups may claim different versions of what that lineage involves. This person and his followers should mainly be classified as falling under the Lingayat tradition, in my view. Another point is that the main article is essentially a bio of a specific person who is of relatively recent date. Emphasizing the origins of the spiritual line does not seem like a key point to put in the lede. If it is confirmed that he is a Lingayat, that would important for the lede.
