Mid Zonal acaryas period

[edit]

Regarding "In 1982, a few new gurus were added to the list, including Gopala Krishna Goswami and Bhaktisvarupa Damodar Swami. All gurus at this stage were assigned honorific names, such as Srila Gurudeva, Srila Vishnupada, Srila Gurupada, Srila Acharyadeva, Srila Bhagavatpada, Srila Bhaktipada etc."

This implies that the honorific names (Acaryapada, Gurupada, etc.) were added in 1982, when in fact, these names were already in use in 1979, as evidenced by the September 1979 issue of the Newsletter of the New Vrindaban Community, "Brijabasi Spirit," which is the first issue to refer to Kirtanananda Swami as "Bhaktipada." Can an editor revise the text and help make this more clear?

This page is awful. It looks more like a theological rambling than an encyclopedic article. Anyone think this page is a candidate for WP:TNT? NickCT (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
