Talk:Surat Shabd Yoga

message: .....I'm really curious about this statement: "MasterPath is another contemporary American movement of Surat Shabda Yoga but this one is definitely a cult." ... I'm new here, but this isn't exactly a neutral statement, is it? Mikeytjb7 16:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :(Naad, Akash Bani, Sruti – Vedas; Nada, Udgit – Upanishads; Word, Logos – Bible; Tao – Lao Zi; Music of the Spheres – Pythagoras; Sraosha – Zoraster; Kalma, Kalam-i-Qadim – Qur'an; Naam, Akhand Kirtan, Sacha (True) Shabd – Guru Granth Sahib ) 
What in the heck is this supposed to mean? Please clarify, as it doesn't really make any sense. Thanks. --goethean ॐ 18:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a POV claim. Surely Taoists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Christians and Muslims do not believe that "Shabda" is equivalent to those key terms in their theologies. The claim must be attributed to SSY adherents. --goethean ॐ 18:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

text: I have removed the claim, as Shabd simply means "word" in Urdu, not Sanskrit.  --goethean ॐ 18:57, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

text: For example, the Sant Mat (Radhasoami) version of Surat Shabda Yoga has been compared variously to spiritual traditions followed by the Pythagoreans, Hermeticists, the Sethians, Theraputae, Essenes (and other mystics within Judaism), the original Jewish Christians, the Gnostic religions, Manichaeans, some Catholic monasteries, monasteries of the Orthodox Church -- including the great mystery school atop Mount Athos in Greece, and the Sufi mystics of Islam who practice Zikar of the Spirit, Light, and Sound.

message: goethean, I replaced the NPOV tag. Please update your views on this article regarding NPOV.  — RDF talk 19:58, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There is nothing wrong with the article with the exception that it reads as "fact" rather than attributed. It will be good if you can provide references and re-edit the article so it reads more along the lines of "According to Master XXX, Surat Shad Yoga is.... " and "In book so and so, the cosmology is explained this and that way". etc. --ZappaZ  20:13, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

text: Agree with Zappaz; The article is looking better now. --goethean ॐ 21:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: I was asked to look into things, but everything appears ok at the moment. Are there any specific problems I should be aware of, or that anyone would like to discuss? Sam Spade 16:33, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm satisfied at this time.  However, in the future and considering no one ever objected to making any revisions to improve NPOV, I would hope that as a matter of wikiquette, any further concerns will be discussed and resolved here, before another NPOV tag is placed on the article.   — RDF talk 20:04, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I am doing some research about the different Radha Soami lineages and find an extraordinary array of terms that some editors and using as synonyms, such as Sant Mat, Radha Soami and Surat Shabd, when it seems that each of these are not one and the same. Can anyone help with this? I don't want to start adding factual inaccuracy templates to all these articles... ≈ jossi fresco ≈ t • @ 01:35, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Footnote 1 references " Singh, Kirpal. Morning Talks, chapter 25, page 1".
But going to http://www.kirpalsingh-teachings.org/en/books I find the quotation to be in "The night is a Jungle", chap "The Most Natural Way".
http://www.kirpalsingh-teachings.org/en/books-sant-kirpal-singh/91-the-night-is-a-jungle/478-the-most-natural-way26.html
They have that as chapter 5. 
They don't have the page numbers in the HTML.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bob.us30691 (talk • contribs) 13:16, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

message: there is paragraph that starts "I wrote the above 2 paragraphs but 2 of the names were changed so I will I will write it again with the names originally on it. The ten Sikh Satgurus talk .." I think this needs to be consolidated with the referenced paragraph, I can't tell what is trying to be said. Then comes 4 paragraphs about Prem Rawat doesn't seem relevant. "Note that Indians look down on foreigners (non-Indians). Prem Rawat married an American." Needs editing. GangofOne (talk) 23:34, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
