First, I have made the change of Namboodiri to Namboothiri. Second, I want to thank Mel for not reverting the current content.

Since the subject of links has been broached, I wonder if it wouldn't be good to try to resolve that category next, rather than item by item. A cross-wiki link to Wiktionary may be better for some of the links, but for now, I'd like to focus on only the issue of whether the word should be linked or not. 
What should not be linked Plain English words:
crocodile
universe
mortality
theistic 
The time, space, causation, change and eternity articles do include sections on philosophy, but it is embarrassing that the only comment on Asian thought on these matters I found was one sentence in Causality. Consequently, a reader of this article would find little of help in those. Moreover, this article does not discuss the philosophy of time, space, causation, change or eternity in any significant detail. But, I would support linking to those articles once they include significant Asian philosophical content. But, even then, the link should be to the philosophy section, not to the top of the article. I didn't find anything on philosophy or religion in universe or mortality.
time
space
causation
change
eternity

What should be linked Major connections with the subject of another article that will help readers to understand the current article more fully:
Vishwanath
Kashi
Shiva
Ishwara
Manisha Panchakam But only if the article is written promptly.
Nrsimha
Kali
Laksmi 
Buddhism
South India Kashmir is linked, so South India or India should be linked as well (but only the first occurrence). The second is a redlink.

Technical terms should be linked unless they are fully defined in the article:
shlokas
atman But only the first occurrence and it should be spelled consistently.
sacerdotalism

Discussed earlier, see above.
Hindu

Thank you.  (talk)
