[edit] Needs Help

This article, like many of the other articles dealing with Hindu or Indian spirituality, seems to have been written under the assumption that most readers are already versed in this topic. In the English language Wikipedia, this is not a reasonable assumption. I went through this page and corrected several problems with punctuation and grammar, but I'm unqualified to address any of the other major problems.

For example, the second sentence states, "He is believed to have been born (or to have lived) in the beginning of the Kali Yuga." I turned the words "Kali Yuga" into a link (the author seems to have assumed that most people reading this article would know what the Kali Yuga was). I think it might be better to say something like, "He is believed to have been born (or to have lived) sometime in the 32nd century BC, at the beginning of the period known, in the Hindu calendar, as the Kali Yuga."

Would someone with more knowledge than I in these matters care to weigh in? --CKA3KA (Skazka) 01:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

In the absence of any input, I've gone ahead and made the change I suggested above. I also turned several unfamiliar words into links. Most of those links lead to actual articles that help explain the terms. Some of the links are red, which, hopefully, will inspire others to add information. --CKA3KA (Skazka) 18:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


I appreciated the issues presentd by CKA3KA. I will work on this and try to improve the content and method of presentation. Jbarot 16:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
