Swaminarayan notforumming

With respect to the editors who already replied, I've removed several sections from this page containing what seemed to be text dumps of a religious text, which while it appears to be either in public domain or hosted in its original language under a CC-compatible license, it was not properly attributed, and the editor who had been repeatedly posting it has been temporarily blocked. Please do not add the content back. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 17:49, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

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

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

"Restoring law and order" section neutrality

This does not read as a neutral passage:

"During the time when Swaminarayan came to Gujarat, the law and order situation of Gujarat was in worst ever. Neither British government nor local kings were able to control the robberies, killings, internal conflicts, rapes, and other uncultured events in Kathiyawar, Kutch and Gujarat. Upon reaching to Gujarat, Swaminarayan by His preaching and super natural divine power restored noted notorious criminals as normal civilians. These criminals left their evil nature and started living life with high moral values to the extent that they would never rob, or kill any living being. Even they would not see the unknown women or would not drink alcohol and be strict vegetarian"

Could somebody with more historical knowledge rewrite this portion to reflect WP:NPOV?. Mr. Anon 515 16:48, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
