This article fails in a number of ways, first and foremost being WP:GNG, since there don't seem to be any sources on the organization which aren't connected to it. In addition, there's the wider issue of South Asian religious figures and organizations of little or no notability whose followers constantly create poorly written articles. There also seems to be a major WP:NOTADVERTISING and WP:VER issue, as articles of this nature are almost always written in order to exploit Wikipedia as a means to generate buzz.

 * Delete. No hits at all on GNews and GBooks, so in that sense, it fails GNG. The page creator also has an obvious conflict of interest, considering the name and the continuous attempts at adding links to the organisation's website in the form of references (which often do not support the text being referenced; the cited sources are highly hagiographic in tone and contain few actual facts). --HyperGaruda (talk) 04:38, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
