Swami Ramdev

I noticed you and User:Sfacets are sparring on the Swami Ramdev talk page. Could you possibly rewrite it (the info)? That is the way to proceed.Bakaman _Bakatalk 03:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Infact just rewrite it. sfacets has also been a valued contributor to the Ramdev page, it would be a shame to lose both of you over a little copyvio. Rewriting it will let us keep the moral high ground.Bakaman _Bakatalk

Pleaase rewrite the section. I agree it should not have been deleted. I did not delete it, I merely commented it out now for you to rewrite. Once it is rewritten, feel free to remove the comments.Bakaman _Bakatalk 01:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually if you rewrite it then there will be no issues. You could ask him (Sfacets) to help you. Or I will help you rewrite section.Bakaman _Bakatalk 02:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply on my talk page. Yes I do know that "takes mahasamdhi" basically means "die". There was no real need to explain it to me. My contention is that "takes mahasamdhi" is not a common English phrase. My contention is that using the phrase "takes mahasamdhi" instead of the simpler "dies" actually detracts from the article rather than improving it. I would welcome the contribution if it was neutral, but it isn't. Long story short, why make an average reader go look up a phrase that simply translates as "dies"? Why make the reader go to extra unnecessary effort? I am going to revert your change. If you have a counter argument, please explain on the Siddha Yoga talk page, so that I can understand your viewpoint and we can reach a consensus. Thanks. If we can't reach an agreement, perhaps we can seek out a 3rd opinion. TheRingess 03:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no end to the flak Karat got for attacking Ramdev. You merely need to find reliable sources to refute those allegations.Bakaman 23:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your further post on Baka's talkpage, please read WP:DR. Also every other WP policy, it might help all of us. Hornplease 23:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi :-) Seems that you are moving in the right direction towards reaching consensus. The key to reaching consensus is getting more experienced editors involved. This takes time...likely will be weeks before enough discussion from more editors occurs to decide consensus. I encourage you to continue following this path.
