[edit] Items in need of editing
I recently made an edit to this page which included the correction of several dubious points. It was amusing for me to find that my entire edit had been reverted with the comment... Muktananda didn't create it out of thin air, he had a Kashmir Shaivite guru, that's parampara. Sorry to say, this is incorrect and a highly deceptive commentary. Firstly, Muktananda did not have a Kashmir Shaivite guru, or a guru holding any form of parampara. There is no valid reference to this assertion anywhere. Secondly, having a guru has nothing to do with parampara. Parampara is soley related to the clear succession of an established lineage. In his lifetime Nityananda made no claim to parampara of any known lineage, let alone a Kashmir Shaivite lineage. Nityananda made no reference to even having been initiated into any lineage or even being devoted to any particular guru. Please don't mislead people. While Chidvilasananda received the mantle of Siddha Yoga from Muktananda, all claims that Nityananda passed any form of parampara to Muktananda is soley based on the claims of Muktananda. All of my edits related to WP:MOSBIO were reverted. The full titles of the subject, birth name and place, etc. I clarified that the Dashanami Sampradaya was a sannyasa order. This was reverted also without mention. Please be more careful in your edits. I will edit the article accordingly when I have time, unless some fine editor beats me to it. -Vritti 06:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] That's Why
That's why it's so hard to make any headway with the SY articles: because someone comes along the next day and undoes it all, but I guess that's the nature of Wiki. I gave up on the SY articles for a while, but have now drifted back. Couldn't help myself.
Have just enlarged the Bibliography and deleted the title "Books", which was superfluous.

[edit] Photo
Have just looked at this article and seen the new pic of the guru. I don't think I've ever seen a worse picture of her. It makes her look like a stick insect. Can anyone dig up a better picture of her that can be used under fair use? Shouldn't be too hard.

[edit] Photo again
I have replaced the other photo with another taken from an SY publication that shows her in 1984, looking somewhat more agreeable (in other words, not looking like a stick insect). Hope we don't have to have a revert war over it.

[edit] Photo again
I see the stick insect pic is back. Do we have to have a revert war over this?

[edit] Last Known
Could somebody please cite the last known appearence of Swami Chidvilasanan?? As far as I know, the last public appearence she made was 2003?? The last publication/recording authored by her or recorded as well would also be of interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.68.210 (talk) 06:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
