Talk:Kirtanananda Swami/archive

message: Dear 2215asp,
Thank you for your recent contributions. 
Regarding the sentence you added: "While they claim to be running a "quiet and peaceful place in the Vil," undercover journalists have revealed how the enterprise is a front for their prosyletizing and religious agenda."
I do not understand the point. From the beginning the Interfaith Sanctuary was to be a place for prosyletizing and religious agenda. It is no different now. Certainly income is generated from the Bed and Breakfast and restaurant (if it is still open), but to my knowledge, tenants have always been giving a reduced price if they attend the temple services. 
Thank you for helping me understand the above sentence by your explanation.
Sincerely,
Hrishikesh

message: Assassination puffs it up a bit too big. Some crazy guy attacked him. Although the plain definition of assassination involves the death of a leader or prominent personality, still it over sensationalizes the attack. It was a big deal when it happened, but assassination implies more than what it was. 75.88.127.106 (talk) 03:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Which particular sentences need citations? I've got dozens of newspaper articles, magazine articles, etc. which might be useful here. I don't think this article should be deleted. Henry Doktorski (talk) 01:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps somebody was trying to silence or censor what has been said about Kirtanananda Swami in the press over the years.  Fortunately, the result of the discussion was to keep the article.  I think this article is important for those trying to understand the history of Kirtanananda Swami and the Hare Krishna Movement, as well as the history of New Vrindaban and the Palace of Gold.

message: Suggest to move to Keith Gordon Ham, since this person is not really a practicing Vaisnava, and is really not in a position to use the name. He is not using this name lately, so if you do not object I suggest moving it asap, Keith Ham is the name used in the court records, so could be the right name too. Wikidas© 13:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I maintain the article should not be moved. Keith Ham legally changed his name to Kirtanananda Swami sometime in the early 1970s. Whether he is a Vaishnava or not should have no bearing on this. Henry Doktorski (talk) 15:18, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Henry, if Kirtanananda Swami is his legal name, then we should use his legal name.  If that is uncertain at this point and/or can't be determined, well, it doesn't matter to me if the article is named Keith Ham or Keith Gordon Ham or Kirtanananda or Kirtanananda Swami or Kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada or Bhaktipada, as long as his other names are also mentioned in the article along with his former status as an ISKCON guru (and the story of his rise and fall, his legal troubles, and his expulsion from the New Vrindaban community that he co-founded).
