Talk:Goloka

Needs more
Needs additional info and sources, also looks like the information is rather similar to a page in an ISKCON book I have seen before (but cannot recall which one, as I am not a part of ISKCON) Shruti14 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The page is unique (i.e. not copied from elsewhere) but is currently a stub in terms of content. Are you able to add extra details and content? It would be great to take it further. :-) Gouranga(UK) 10:53, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean that it was copied, sorry if I made it sound that way. What I meant was that (to my knowledge) it is ISKCON specific or possibly Gaudiya Vaishnava specific. -- Shruti14 t c s 16:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Overanalogy
Bad phrase:
 * Also sometimes referred to as Vrindavan, it is a land of plenty, rich with natural beauty bearing a resemblance to Garden of Eden.

(Imagine sarcasm here:) Yeah, sure, there are plenty of eye witnesses, aren't there? First thing: if we, as an exception to normality take "the Garden of Eden" to be a real place, it's connection to the "heaven" of christianity is tenuous at the very best. One doesn't end up in the "the Garden of Eden", if that place isn't simply abolished. Secondly: abrahamites like jews, christians and moslems don't reincarnate around, they die and end up in heaven, hell or maybe purgatory. They don't devote themselves to JHVH unconditionally as a means of salvation, they devote themselves to good acts. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 16:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Tone tag
This article does not make it clear that it is referring to a mythological concept; readers may be forgiven for thinking that Wikipedia is presenting some aspects of Hindu mythology as fact. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:36, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Not NPOV
It is biased towards Vaishnavism-Krishnaism as it is called "The Highest Spiritual planet" even though according to Shaivism, it is Shivaloka's Kailasa (mind you, Shivaloka doesn't even have a page, truly biased towards Vaishnavism and under-represents other sects and Hinduism as a whole (other traditions and variants)) and other sects have others. Goloka is the center and most spectacular planet/abode of Vaikuntha but Shivaloka and Kailasa and Bhramaloka and Manidvipa do exist too. In Hinduism, in a spiritual universe called Vaikuntha exists Goloka, but this universe is not the supreme universe or for that matter not even supreme to Shivaloka or Manidvipa. 2601:600:8D00:D230:2115:D935:EE1B:D0F3 (talk) 21:10, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
