1. Is his actual name Dr. Sree Sree Shivakumara Swamiji? Should we use the 'Sree Sree' and 'Swamiji' honorifics thoroughout the article?
2. There are numerous statements thrgouhout the document which are either peacock terms or tall claims which require citations. E.g:

• 'The driving forces of Sree Swamiji's more than seven decades of service to humanity are hardwork, disciplined life, faith in Humanity and sincerity of purpose to help the poor and the downtrodden.'
• 'He is committed to the service of humanity with eighteen hour daily work schedule, even at the age of 100.'
• 'ree Swamiji's Guru Kula houses more than 8500 children of age group 5 to 16 years and is open to children from all religions, castes and creeds, who get free food, education and shelter and the moral blessings of the Sree Swamiji.' - citation needed for the secular nature of his work.

Ok, thanks for pointing these out. Will see if I can get citations for these.

Regarding the name, yes, for all practical purposes that is his name and that is how all the media components (News papers, TV, Radio) refer to him. We hardly see anywhere the name as just "Dr.Shivakumara" as mentioned in an earlier version of the article. Hope this helps. - KNM ^Talk 00:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
