Comments n Suggestions

[edit]

As requested by TheMandarin:

  • legendary, fantastic can be treated as glorifying. Replace/remove/reword
  • According to one disciple biographer (who??), he was born in 1529, while according to another biographer (who??) it was 1607
  • many places on pilgrimage: names?
  • Ganapati reportedly led a life of severe austerities: avoid the word. Instead say "According to X, Ganapati led..."
  • "finally in the courtyard of the small abode of Mangal Das Bhatta, his devotee, where a huge rock lying under the sky was his resting place." unclear. reword. Does resting place mean final resting place?
  • Explain WP:JARGON: ajagaravritti, paramahansa, mahasamadhi, salilasamadhi etc. with short english explanation
  • "authentic" biography of the Swami by Umacharan Mukhopadhyay: who says so?? Can be WP:POV of author
  • As a rule, lead is summary of the article. No new information is usually added. Move new information
  • Discuss 300 or 200+ age after death in detail (which biographer says what)
  • Why is 1607 given priority, it is also disputed? What about 1529?
  • I am not sure if many aspects of the article are mentioned here: see Autobiography of a Yogi [1], [2] --Redtigerxyz Talk 15:32, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comments. --TheMandarin (talk) 12:41, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For quite a few of details I need to refer back to the book, to which I don't have access right now. I agree that "one disciple biographer", "another biographer" are weasel words and vague. Will fix these along with attributions to specific biographers. --TheMandarin (talk) 13:04, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
