Talk:Gerald Heard

[Untitled]
I think the categorization at the end of the article is wrong on several scores: First of all, Heard died in 1971 — so why classify this biography under "1974 deaths"? (That seems laughable.) Secondly, I believe he was neither an "English Hindu" nor a "convert to Hinduism"; rather, he espoused Vedanta which is a philosophy that evolved in India — not really a religion, but a worldview that is identical with or very similar to a number of "idealist" or "mystical" philosophies of the West (also possibly found elsewhere in the world).

Current picuture of Heard
The pic of Heard from a painting of him in his youth is ill chosen, ridiculous. Doesn't do the man justice. There is a commonly used (public domain?) pic on the biographical website. Gerald Heard site Much more dignified and in keeping with the tenor of his work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.245.240.165 (talk) 22:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * True, the image looks silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.210.166.185 (talk) 22:35, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * actually the images on the Gerald Heard site are "courtesy" it means they are not public domain. For being public domain they should be before 1923. The painting is public domain cause it's before 1923 and the artist died more than 70 years ago. So right now it's the only valid picture you can use. Elisa.rolle (talk) 10:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
