Talk:Ramalinga Swamigal

The Light Bearer.Theosophy, Timeless Wisdom, speech by Stefano Martorano
I read this article in the reference section now and it mentions vadalur is in Kerala, whereas it is actually in Tamil nadu near chennai. I understand that this does not have direct impact on the wiki page. But just an FYI on the credibility of the artcile.

It would be great if someone could edit this article.
Sentences like the following are amongst the most obvious examples of poorly written articles that tend to border on the religious. There are others like it, though not as boldly put. I would request that someone with a clear understanding of Wikipedia's policies edit this - I cannot be sure exactly how many statements violate Wikipedia's policies.

"Every one of us must clearly understand that the physical body of Ramalinga swamigal was neither buried nor cremated. He is living even today with his body."

 * Oppose the nickname is unknown in English books and the proper name used. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:07, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Support not sure what put into his search, but Vallalar was has more hits in English books than Ramalinga Swamigal. No such user (talk) 10:48, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I was restricting my search to WP:RS and third party sources, not books published by the devout. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:07, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Meh, quality-wise, I don't think there's much difference in provenance between your set of results and mine. Both consist mostly of "books published by the devout". No such user (talk) 12:05, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
