message: Hello Magentic Manifestations,
Thank you for reframing the article in a neutral point of view! However I believe it is valid to quote from peer reviewed scholars (the quotations which you seem to have deleted). I understand my treatment might seem hagiographic but my intention was for the readers to have a deeper insight into the works of Raghavendra and his style of writing. Could we possibly reintroduce the quotes? And also by "gloss" I meant a commentary not a "glossary". Prabhanjanmutalik (talk) 10:27, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Quotations from Scholars

message: This article contains a lot of information that needs to be properly arranged and presented with citations and with a neutral point of view (NPOV). Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary resources (to verify claims/for citations) to do this myself. Too many legends are passed as facts without citations and in a manner that does not befit an encyclopaedic article. In case anybody should want to call me a typical nitpicker, I should make it known that I have just done a complete revision/edit of the article (going through the whole text several times) for grammatical and syntactical errors spending about an hour and a half. ;) - Vishruth 01:52, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have always heard that Raghavendra Swami was a Kannadiga. However, there seems some doubt among people I know as to whether he was a Kannadiga or a Telugu. Can anyone clarify this?
His family moved south after the decline of the vijayanagara kingdom.  His mother tongue should be kannada though the rulers of the area he lived were telugu (Nayaks of the splintered Vijayanagara empire) and the regional language was tamil. All his teachings and writings were in sanskrit which acted as the common language at that time.  --Gthorvey (talk) 10:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The text says he lived from 1595 to 1671; while the categories give 1601 to 1672; what are the correct dates?--FeanorStar7 (talk) 13:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Sri Raghavendra swamy is still alive, he was granted a life span of 700 years and there are many people who have had conversation with him. Professor Madhva (talk) 14:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello! I understand your sentiments and sure this claim wanders around in the traditional circles. I reserve my personal judgement on such issues. As hurtful as it might be, you need to understand that this is an encyclopedia where beliefs are not stated as facts. If you really want to work towards preserving the legacy of the person in question, please develop the article according to reliable sources rather than get stuck on specifics like this.

thread_title:  Name  

message: I accepted an editors edit and in the edit, it corrected the subject being a scholar of Vaishnavism. I wanted to revert it as u sourced but ignored it as not vandalism. In regards to that, my reaserch from here said "Shri Guru Raghavendra Swami (1595–1671) is an influential 16th century Hindu saint who advocated Vaishnavism (worship of Vishnu as the supreme God)". Others said he was the founder. On Wikipedia, Vaishnavism is a contemporary of Hinduism. So, if he advocated (or founded) the religion, then, he is a scholar of the religion and not much given to Hinduism. — Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 14:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
