Talk:Yoga Nidra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What is the dispute? This page should have explained why there's a Dipute Alert about the factualness of the Yoga Nidra page..
The dispute is clear from the article itself, which contradicts itself. Yoga Nidra is a relatively recent invention of a certain individual who passed it down through his lineage....and....yoga nidra has been practiced for millenia and is not the province of any one lineage.
I'll try to work it together now. O. Pen Sauce 18:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I see what happened. A proponent of the Sivenanda lineage came in and tilted the article to give that lineage credit for an ancient technique that belongs to no one. I fixed this with a light touch, rejiggering the paragraphs a little (to put the general info on the practice on top) and removing references to any one party "inventing" the practice. I've left in explanatory info on Sivenanda's approach to the technique, which leaves the article a bit heavy on Sivenanda, but at least less biased in terms of (mis)statement of facts.
I'm not much of a watchdog, so hopefully if someone else comes in and edits to skew the article to one teacher or another, it will be noticed and reverted.O. Pen Sauce 18:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
