Talk:Ramakrishna Mission

message: I thought of making articles on all the great monks of RKM order without the prefix swami. This is to remove the ambiguity, as happened in case of Swami Ghanananda of Ghana and Swami Ghanananda of RKM. However there are 2 articles, one on Prabhavananda which was there before, and one more created by me earlier on Swami Nitya-swarup-ananda.
Ramashray
Belur Math
I have added one sentence only to bring the link to Belur Math.

message: This article desperately needs an expanded History section. Currently it appears as if the only history of the Mission is a lawsuit, which of course is only a minor detail in the history. There is a book called something like "History of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission," although I don't have access to that book at the momemt. HeBhagawan 03:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the lawsuit fact is indeed a minor one and featuring it as the very second para seems to give it undue importance in the long history of the organisation. Why can't we just title it as "Minority claim" and place it after the "See also" para so that History para can be suitably expanded in due course. — VMO 05:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Agreed. — VMO 14:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: For accuracy sake: the HQ is located in Belur of District Howrah across the Ganga river and not in Kolkata though nearer to it. — VMO 15:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps some consensus could be formed about naming of monks. Many articles are given with the prefix "Swami" (including Swami Vivekananda); many others are given without. It looks like a lot of work to fix all the entries, either way. I would be slightly in favour of keeping the "Swami" prefix. After all, the monks are known that way to most people; their books carry their names that way too. Then again, giving only the "ananda" name has a certain alacrity. Britannica has an entry for "Vivekananda".  I am not familiar with the Ghanananda controversy referred to by Ramashray.  Sw.my 02:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the articles themselves refer to them by title. Ramashray (above) suggests that the Swami prefix may result in ambiguity in some cases. But I don't think that removing the Swami prefix from one monk is the right solution. If there are two monks called Swami Ghanananda, then it would be better to create a disambiguation page, and create two articles Swami Ghanananda (Ghana) and Swami Ghanananda (RKM) --RichardVeryard 09:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now moved the African Swami to Swami Ghanananda (Ghana), and created the necessary disambiguation pages/links. --RichardVeryard 10:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names of Monks 

message: I have created a category called :Category:Monks of the Ramakrishna Mission. Presumably everyone associated with the Mission should be classified either here or in the :Category:Heads of the Ramakrishna Mission. Where does Swami Vivekananda himself belong - does he not count as one of the heads of the mission? --RichardVeryard 09:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
