Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gurudeva Vagish Shastri
as the article is sourced only by self-published material as far as I can see.  Claim of notability is not supported by any clear evidence.  Also, I just looked at the status of the references and not only are they improperly formatted, it is not clear how some of them support the claims. http://www.globalserve.net/~sarlo/RatingsI.htm Sarlo's Guru Rating Service doesn't look like a  to me.  The Guru Rating Service fowarded me to http://www.angelfire.com/in/vagyoga/ an angelfire site selling workshops. I read the article trying to figure out what the actual novel claims were regarding "Vagyoga" and honestly could not figure out which sentences related to this particular method and what sentences were generic statements regarding yoga, etc.  Since some of the statements are very general and could apply to many yoga topics, some of the references appear to be irrelevant to the specific issue of Vagyoga and Vagish Shastri (the honorific "Gurudeva" means "Divine Teacher"). The picture on the page of the Devanagari sound system looks pretty much like every other such chart I've seen, and the generic comments about Kundalini, etc. are not noteworthy. A Google search for "Gurudeva Vagish Shastri" gets only nine hits, not very impressive for even the most obscure guru. Since the claim is that there is a significant new method for teaching Sanskrit, I searched Amazon to try to find the books to perhaps add to my collection of such things, and while it is out of print I did find http://www.amazon.com/Madonnas-Shastris-Vagyoga-Mnemonic-Sanskrit/dp/8185570183/ Pop Star Madonna's Master Dr. Vagish Shastri's Vagyoga ; Mnemonic Sanskrit, suggesting that the truly notable claim here may be an assertion that Madonna endorses this method of Sanskrit instruction
