Reworking 02:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)Actionjackson09 (talk)

Hello all - was thinking of adding some substantial edits to the article. Flow seems choppy.

Semi-protected edit request on 14 July 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can you show citations to validate that “Brahmin” priests were conducting animal sacrifices in the 1800s according to vedic rituals? 2601:641:400:3120:A81D:1A7E:8F45:DEA5 (talk) 05:57, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

You didn't notice the sources in the article? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:24, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 23 February 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please add following fundamental philosophy of Swaminarayan Bhagwan. It is stated in Vachanmrut Gad-1-69. That dharma, aartha, Kama can achieved by violence but for Moskha, non violence MUST be followed. This is the reason why Major Hindu Gods/Godesss promote vegetarian satvic lifestyle. This is why India will become a meat free nation in coming years… 64.53.205.192 (talk) 07:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Issues

TrangaBellam (talk) 18:10, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Like: "Why is this a "Good article"?" Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 03:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

The main source is Raymond Williams, a notorious hagiographer. I will post a note soon. TrangaBellam (talk) 12:51, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Blatant POV pushing

The article has been edited by many editors to POV push against BAPS and other sampradayas in favor of the Laxmi Narayan and Nar Narayan Gadis. This is evident through the edits and through the names of one major editor which is Gaybaps. This needs an investigation into POV pushing and an article rewrite. 2600:4040:60AC:6500:8C19:148D:3902:DD16 (talk) 01:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Serious? This article was hijacked by a BAPS-sock-puppeteer; we've seen enough already of this attitude here. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

There was a sockpuppet against other sampradyas after those sockpuppets. There is no reason to be biased against any of them. We need to remove certain biases in this article. Specifically, we need to revert the change in the introduction of Swaminarayan as a manifestation of Krishna as majority of Swaminarayan followers believe him to be either a manifestation of Krishna or Vishnu or a Manifestation of supreme god. Then original edit was better and we should reach a consensus on wether we should change this or keep it as is. Ram112313 (talk) 16:12, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Grammatical references to Lord Swaminarayan

As a god, He should be referenced with Capitalisation, such as He, Him, His. I have tried to edit this and found article is locked. Hari.kara (talk) 14:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Not done. He's an ascetic/saint, not the Supreme God to be addressed so. Rasnaboy (talk) 16:47, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
