message: Sri Daya Mata is Italic textnotItalic text the first woman to head a religious organization. That could well be Mary Baker Eddy who founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts in 1879 and headed that institution for many years.
"Related Links" states "This article is about a Hindu person.." Not so; the article does not support the statement and it is factually incorrect. Sri Daya Mata and the SRF organization follow and promote the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, which have at their core the principles of scientific meditation, not Hinduism. While it is true that Paramahansa Yoganda was himself a Hindu swami he came to the U.S. to teach Kriya Yoga, not Hinduism. The subject of the article, Sri Daya Mata was born in Utah, and is not a "Hindu person".

replies: text: Hi, Sri Daya Mata is an ordained Swamini. She received ordination from Jagad Guru Bhagwan Shankaracharya Bharati Tirtha of Gowardhan Math in May 27, 1959 (source books/path/40). This makes her not only a Hindu but a duly-ordained Hindu authority. And not only her, since 1959 all Self-Realization Order brothers and sisters were recognized as Swamis and Swaminis. While in American they are referred to as brothers or sisters (e.g. Brother Mitrananda) in India they are referred to as Swamis and Swaminis (e.g. Swami Mitrananda). "Paramahansa Yogananda himself belonged to India’s ancient monastic Swami Order founded by Adi Shankaracharya many centuries ago, as do monks and nuns of the Self-Realization Fellowship Order who take their final renunciant vows." (source aboutsrf/srf_monastic). Hope this helps! - Watchtower Sentinel 11:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

" Sri Daya Mata has been President of Self-Realization Fellowship since 1955. One of the first women to lead a world-wide religious organization and monastic order, her tenure in such a position is only exceeded by the Dalai Lama."

replies: text: This edit used a justification of "This is certainly not for an encyclopedia."  This is an arbitrary justification (POV), as I found this statement lends insight into Daya Mata's character.  Also, the previous edit reversion by @Riquix used an equally arbitrary justification:  "Article should also be for readers who are not followers of Yogananda".Azure Dave (talk) 23:04, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
