New York Court Decision
editHere's one article of interest by Massimo Introvigne at Bitter Winter:
Take the article what you will; thanks for reading. -- Apisite (talk) 08:36, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Review of wording
editThe aricle uses the word "ecclesiastical" in reference to the movemenet. I suspect other non-appropriate terms are in use and the article needs review from someone with a backgroud in religious terminology. References might also use weak terminology themselves that imho should be addressed when imported.
Kirtan
editHello,
In the section about kirtan, it is described in the first sentence as "mantra meditation." This sentence does not have a source and the hyperlinked Wikipedia page for kirtan does not include the phrase "mantra meditation" anywhere. I would like to change "mantra meditation" in the kirtan section here to "mantra chanting and devotional singing" or something similar. Does anyone have any objections?
Thanks,

- I agree with your proposed change. Thank you for catching that. 23impartial (talk) 11:59, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Monotheism vs Henotheism
editHi @P77.35.6R.S4, I noticed that you reverted my edit without providing an explanation. The original lead referenced ISKCON to be a monotheistic Hindu denomination. The article expands, under the section "Singular Worship of Krishna," how the denomination is monotheistic and provides a reference. You updated the lead to say "henotheistic" in lieu of "monotheistic" without provide any reference or expansion on this later in the article.
Without an explanation supported with a reliable source, I plan to revert the sentence back to it's original verbiage.
Thanks!

- @Dāsānudāsa - Just saw your edits on the page and looks like that addresses this concern I had (since my original revert was reverted by the editor). Thanks!

"Hare Krishna movement"
editThis article lists "Hare Krishna movement" in bold as a synonym for ISKCON specifically. I am not sure this is correct. I think "Hare Krishnas" can also be members of other modern Vaishnava groups (Sri Caitanya Saraswat Math, the International Pure Bhakti Society, Swami Tripurari's sangha, etc.) and suggest it belongs on the Gaudiya Vaishnavism article instead, perhaps specifically in the 20th century section. Thoughts? Dāsānudāsa (talk) 13:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
