This article was nominated for deletion on 30 November 2009. The result of the discussion was keep.

History is relative. All of the statements given within are factual and true. If you wish to put in statements such as "mismanagement," you are introducing relativity into history. Such as term is given by others who either did not like the person, do not know factually what was done and how (very few do) or have a general ax to grind. How does one historically verify mismanagement? Obviously thousands of people participated in all of the projects mentioned herein, however, since the biography is about Harikesa Swami, it makes sense that the text refers to it from his point of view.

The tone of this Wiki seems more like an personal advertisement than a statement of factual reality. It certainly does not acknowledge the part the many participants played in the production and development of the BBT. While I advocate "credit where credit is due" I don't know who originally wrote this, from the incredibly uncritical tone it must have been a misguided follower, or someone who was not present during the time Robert was mismanaging ISKCON/BBT affairs. Comeon Chopper Dave, live up to your epithet! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.16.166 (talk) 00:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, what is VODR? Google returns nothing of value. Chopper Dave 22:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to the discussion thing. VODR is the Russian acronym for the Vedic Society For Krsna Consciousness registered as a religious institution in St Petersburg Russia.

Discography moved to bottom of page

I tried to make the discography but it moved itself to the bottom of the page. When I edit discography it shows up properly, but the page does not display properly, or at least not while I am editing it. I did something wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robcamp108 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fixed this. Thanks for the VDOR info above. On a side note, any chance of releasing old books online? I'm not so sure of the available sites for doing this, but i'm sure there would be some interest. Chopper Dave 05:03, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean, releasing old books on-line? Do you mean scanning them? I could do this, but it is a BIG work and I would rather someone else did that as I am not so interested in the books. I :think I got the copyrights back, but I am not sure. Anyway, I doubt the BBT would fight for the copyrights to my books even if I did not have them. -- --RobertC - Hari 15:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I figured you might have them in computer format. Just a suggestion :) Chopper Dave 18:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I have been looking for covers of RASA albums - are the below covers your RASA, or a different band with the same name?

Chopper Dave 08:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are different Rasa's. The first is an album made by the NY Temple (actually Gurudas -- Jorge Barrerria or something like that) and the Rasa refers to the albums title. The second is made by Kim something or other and she took the name for her group. -- --RobertC - Hari 15:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Chop, who are you anyway? You are doing such a nice thing here. Just curious, -- --RobertC - Hari 15:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am a young bhakta from New Zealand. No one special :) Chopper Dave 18:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RASA and other bands

To prevent the page from growing unnecessarily long, I suggest that you could start RASA (band) and BLISS (band) pages. We can then move the discography there, and have a links under the "Recording Artist" section of this page to those bands. Chopper Dave 18:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good idea. It will take some time as I am busy mixing tracks from our previous live recording. Some from a small video camera are already on the site now...--RobertC - Hari 15:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a RASA -- The Band and BLISS -- by Hari and wrote some preliminary blah blah to start--RobertC - Hari 15:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikified them up a little. If you could add genre information that would be helpful (I can categorize them with that also). Chopper Dave 19:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the pages for Rasa and Bliss were removed, I restored the correct discography. As other commentators have said that the music done was a pioneering blend of Indian and Western music within the spiritual context, the discography has been updated to solidify that fact. ----
