I've seen many people called "Ramaswami". Is it a honour title or a family name? --83.43.178.19 11:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I suspect it is a family name. I work with a computer programmer, a gentleman by the surname of Krishnaswamy, and while the spelling is not that which I am accustomed to, he explains that it is simply his family name. Tenmiles 04:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rewrite

i think it might be better for someone to just do a full rewrite of this article. it is definitely better after dantes changes, but the article, on the whole, is still so far from encyclopedic and probably will be unless totally redone. --Ganeshananda 23:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I just want to second Ganeshanandas opion. This article is horrific. Bilz0r 23:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

maybe we should just get the different sections for the article up so that the people who care about each respectively can flesh them out. like, just get a couple basic sentences up for each section to get it started. i think one of the problems is the various definitions and interpretations for swami, and how to resolve them into a 2 paragraph article. instead it might be better to have 5 mini-articles that will soon get filled out into a big, multi-faceted article that incorporates all the interpretations. but it almost seems like a big under construction sign would be better than the present article.--Ganeshananda 07:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Should there be a link to god in the article?

It's not clear right now what god the article's referring to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.150.130 (talk) 19:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
