Talk:Paramhansa Yogananda

Great to have a Yogananda page here

PAT PALMER, thanks for starting this. I think it's an important entry to have in a general encyclopedia, especially one based in the United States. I like how you created an explanation for both spellings of his title, which I may add a brief word of explanation about. I think it's fairly well known that the title of Param-hansa is from the legend of a [supreme] swan. The swan [hansa] is said to have a mythical ability to only sip the cream from a mixture of milk, spitting out the watery part. The spiritual master is likewise said to be able to live in a world like a swan, and only see the divine, instead of all the evil mixed in there too, which the normal person sees. Jack S.

Thanks for growing this article. It's coming along nicely. Let me know when you think it's ready, and we'll feature it on the wiki's front page for a few days. Pat Palmer (talk) 10:54, 15 July 2024 (CDT)

thanks for your kind words, Pat. It probably still needs a little more work, but I'll let you know if we get there. Best, Jack S. Byrom (talk) 14:45, 15 July 2024 (CDT)

Pat Palmer the article is more complete now, and probably doesn't have too many mistakes in it! You can feature it on the main page if you'd like. Thanks. Jack S. Byrom (talk) 18:14, 17 July 2024 (CDT)
