Talk:Ramakrishna Mission

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought of making articles on all the great monks of RKM order without the prefix swami. This is to remove the ambiguity, as happened in case of Swami Ghanananda of Ghana and Swami Ghanananda of RKM. However there are 2 articles, one on Prabhavananda which was there before, and one more created by me earlier on Swami Nitya-swarup-ananda. Ramashray

Belur Math I have added one sentence only to bring the link to Belur Math.

[edit] Table format

I have made the data pertaining to Periodicals into Table Format for easy reading. The Journals published by Ramakrishna Mission from various centres are given year-wise. Wherever available, links for the Website of the respective centres are also provided. VMO 13:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

This article desperately needs an expanded History section. Currently it appears as if the only history of the Mission is a lawsuit, which of course is only a minor detail in the history. There is a book called something like "History of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission," although I don't have access to that book at the momemt. HeBhagawan 03:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the lawsuit fact is indeed a minor one and featuring it as the very second para seems to give it undue importance in the long history of the organisation. Why can't we just title it as "Minority claim" and place it after the "See also" para so that History para can be suitably expanded in due course. — VMO 05:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

How about placing it near the bottom of the article in a new section called "controversies?" Many articles have such a section? HeBhagawan 14:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. — VMO 14:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belur Math not Calcutta

For accuracy sake: the HQ is located in Belur of District Howrah across the Ganga river and not in Kolkata though nearer to it. — VMO 15:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
