Talk:Ralph Waldo Emerson

message: I think it would be good to include this because there is a lot of scholarly work that shows how he and his works were influenced by Hinduism. Can I add the following to the lead section as its own paragraph:
"He was influenced by his study of Hinduism, in which he reviewed Hindu scriptures including the Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas, and the Upanishads.{{ cite journal } title = The Influence of Hinduism on the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328346080_The_Influence_of_Hinduism_on_the_Writings_of_Ralph_Waldo_Emerson | first = Hassin Ur | last = Rahman | date = January 2017 | page = 1 }} Many of his ideas are similar to those in Hinduism, including the idea of man's relationship that is similar to the Hindu concept of Soul Congenial.{{ cite journal } title = The Influence of Hinduism on the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328346080_The_Influence_of_Hinduism_on_the_Writings_of_Ralph_Waldo_Emerson | first = Hassin Ur | last = Rahman | date = January 2017 | page = 1 }} His poetry is similar in form and content to Hinduism, and most of the titles of his poems come from Hindu concepts.{{ cite journal } title = The Influence of Hinduism on the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328346080_The_Influence_of_Hinduism_on_the_Writings_of_Ralph_Waldo_Emerson | first = Hassin Ur | last = Rahman | date = January 2017 | page = 3 }} He spent most of his time studying the Hindu law of karma.{{ cite journal } title = The Influence of Hinduism on the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328346080_The_Influence_of_Hinduism_on_the_Writings_of_Ralph_Waldo_Emerson | first = Hassin Ur | last = Rahman | date = January 2017 | page = 3 }} His asceticism was motivated by his interactions with the Hindu concept of yoga.{{ cite journal } title = The Influence of Hinduism on the Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328346080_The_Influence_of_Hinduism_on_the_Writings_of_Ralph_Waldo_Emerson | first = Hassin Ur | last = Rahman | date = January 2017 | page = 1 }}" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakespeare143 (talk • contribs) 06:07, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

message: My proposal of a list of Musical settings has been considerably shortened in the light of limited notability of some of the composers or of their settings. I have restored some of the musical settings I originally listed, that are notable in relation to Emerson's life or to the works produced, and corroborated with more sources, while leaving out others. I would think that given the tradition of setting poems such as "Music" it is noteworthy to mention them here, but maybe we need to find a consensus on this topic; so feel free to express an opinion, and to add relevant/notable musical settings of Emerson's texts.
