Wikiquote talk:Votes for deletion/Paramahamsa Nithyananda


 * "Keep" Paramahamsa Nithyananda quotes available for free! I write life histories for foster kids; kids who have been abused, neglected, abandoned. The quote I use the most from this enlightened master is: "You are not an accident, you are an incident, a conscious miracle of Existence." It has helped so many young souls!
 *  Keep, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is an enlightened master who has transformed the lives of thousands and healed millions ever since He started His mission in 2002. I have known Him since 2003 and have been blessed to personally experience His teachings, in fact I share them with others as well. "Living Enlightenment" book and "Guaranteed Solutions" are comparable to the Bible and should be read by all interested in spirituality and living a blissful life.

I strongly urge the administrators to read through these books themselves before taking any decisions. You will realize how important it is to promote teachings of Paramahamsa Nithyananda at this crucial time on planet earth. I thank you in advance for your kind consideration. "This link should not be deleted. I have read His book " Living Enlightnement" which is one of the amazing books. And there are many more books by Paramahamsa Nithyananda which are useful for our life, about life, solutions for life and shows the way for achiving enlightnment etc. Please do not remove this link.

 *  Keep, Paramahamsa Nithyananda has been teaching meditation programs and giving public discourses for perhaps nearly a decade now! His discourses have been up on the youtube lifeblissfoundation channel atleast since 2006, and I've personally read books by him that have their first edition listed as '2004' (Uncommon Answers to Common Questions). The 'Guaranteed Solutions' book on Amazon also mentions an edition in 2006, and the 2011 edition is the 'seventh edition'. So, I do not understand the reason for deletion being cited as 'newly published books'.  Nor are the quotations being quoted on the web for the first time - a google search for 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda blogs' brings up more than a million entries - I quote some entries from way back in 2006-2010 here, all from people around the world inspired by Paramahamsa's teachings:

Also, articles in online news portals (third-party): http://living.oneindia.in/yoga-spirituality/spiritual-masters/paramahamsa-nithyananda/paramahamsa-nithyananda-happiness-ego-110408.html http://living.oneindia.in/yoga-spirituality/spiritual-masters/paramahamsa-nithyananda/overcoming-lust-spiritual-transfomation-050509.html http://www.speakingtree.in/public/d4tfycm3g8sn318pkbcp7fgir/blog/Move-from-words-to-silence

These are just a few of the ones I pulled up from google-search, needless to say, one can find thousands more.

Local newspapers (print media) in India (and perhaps other countries) have also published articles and quotations by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, though I do not readily have an online reference for the same (maybe other contributors here can provide references).

The publications being quoted as 'new' are only the amazon-kindle format that is now available for readers; neither are the books (hard copies) themselves new publications, nor the quotes and teachings! Ofcourse, He's a Living Master, so there will always be a continual flow of notable quotes happening and yet to happen!! And with web-speed, this will no doubt include quotes not yet published in any book, so there does not arise the question of trying to 'promote' some book through 'wikiquotes'!

While I agree that this wikiquote page might need some cleanup and structuring for easier readability, it is but a forum for inspired followers to share their inspiration with the world - along the same lines as the many youtube channels and blogs that already exist. I do not see that the purpose of wikiquotes has been violated or misused in any manner by this page, it is but the right platform for sharing 'Quotable Quotes' with the world!

I therefore request the wikiquote administrators to 'keep' this page. 173.189.229.4 19:28, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a misunderstanding of Wikiquote's purpose. This is not "a forum for inspired followers to share their inspiration with the world." Wikiquote is not anything along the same lines as the many youtube channels and blogs that already exist elsewhere. There are plenty of sites like those, and there is nothing wrong with them, but that is not what Wikiquote is for. ~ Ningauble 13:48, 20 September 2011 (UTC)


 *  Keep, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is an enlightened Master of this millenium who is changing the very way people live and perceive life. He is expanding on the ancient Hindu Vedic scriptures bringing to light many of the sacred secrets of blissful living. His talks are interesting and enlightening and His books - an essential reading for any reader. His extemporaneous talks embedded with beautiful quotes that spark an intelligent response in the listener, raising him/her to a higher level of awareness have drawn seekers the world over. The many books published by this young Master are gems in their own right and even a cursory glance through their pages will bring clarity to the reader. I vote for keeping this page.

 * Wikiquote is NOT to be used for promotional purposes. ~ Ningauble 19:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 *  Keep, Many people have been benefited by him. He is serving the world and humanity.


 *  Keep Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda's words of wisdom have helped me during tough times. Many of my friends have also benefited from His various programs. Thanks for considering to keep this page active.

- Quality of quote: Subjective but in my opinion the quotes are intelligent and well formed in the literary sense. - Length of the quote: The quotes convey enough information that they are useful as a life guideline and a philosophy so their length is qdequate. - Notability: nothing more to add on what Arthurvogel said - Fame of the quote: like many spiritual leaders the fame reaches as far as his following, here maybe some of the less striking quotes can be removed - Notability of the quote: the subject being life and love, it is universal. - Verifiability: these quotes come from books and discourses by the author and are verified ~ Laurent 15:14, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 *  Keep The Nithyananda Quote page may require re-editing to include each book quoted but the quotes themselves follow the guidelines on quotability:
 * Thank you for addressing issues of actual relevance to inclusion of quotes at Wikiquote. Regarding Quality of quote: It is indeed very subjective. I am not seeing that what you describe as "well formed in the literary sense" rises to the level of being distinctively original or eloquent ways of expressing these ideas, which have been around for a very long time. Regarding Notability: It would make a big difference if one could show that he is "notable as a source of quotes," not just as a transmitter of traditional wisdom. Regarding Fame of the quote: If the quotes actually are famous, beyond the circle of his own following, then it should be easy to cite reliable independent sources that quote them. ~ Ningauble 19:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

In the several thousand hours of recorded discourses available and freely accessible and verifiable by all on youtube, PHN has spoken on everything from love to fear/greed to gratitude, from enlightened Wealth consciousness to enlightened Leadership Consciousness, from Yoga and fitness to meditation and Zazen, from the science of water to the science of quantum physics, DNA and genetics, from how to become an architect of the human self to the science and architecture of ancient Temples and Monoliths, from Patanjali Yoga Sutras to the Bhagavad Gita and the BrahmaSutras (Aphorisms of Existence), on the teachings of Buddha and Jesus to Osho and Gurdjieff, from the science of Birth to the mysteries of Death and Life after Death, and on the very Cosmos, Time and Existence! His talks, books and teachings are of immense value to spiritual seekers AND spiritual skeptics all over the world... ... for He continually bridges the gap between the known sciences and the now-unknown/forgotten science behind spiritual mysteries and mysticism, and between History and Mythology.
 *  Keep, Paramahama Nithyananda is a spiritual leader who has spoken (and continues to speak) on a whole range of topics directly relevant and applicable to human life and society.

Eminent doctors and scientists doing research in the field of brainwaves and human physiology continue to be surprised by groundbreaking results and findings when they do their research with Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Dr. R. Murali Krishna of James L Hall Center for Mind, Body, Spirit at Baptist Integris Mental Health, Oklahoma City, USA presented one such | research study in 2006 which has also been published in his Mind Matters column [| 'Mind of a Mystic']. This study has also been referenced and cited in this research paper from the University of New Mexico, | A Glimpse into the Meditating Brain.

More recent research studies by | Dr. Kanak Panday - specialist on neurofeedback and QEEG and | Dr. Krishna Shama Rao, internationally renowned craniofacial surgeon and partner of SmileTrain has yielded even more groundbreaking results - the scientific research reports of which are now in the works.

PHN's articles on spirituality, human emotions and everyday life solutions have also been published in several national and international newspapers and online media. In addition to the articles from OneIndia referenced earlier, I reference here some articles published in a column in the Economic Times, one of the top financial newspapers in India (the articles have run for several years). | ET-May2006 | ET-May2007 | ET-July2009 | ET-Feb2010

In the light of all of the above references and more, is there any way really, that PHN can be considered as not 'Quotable' on WQ or 'Notable' on wiki pages?

Yes, there was an attempt to 'create' notoriety around him - there will always be naysayers when revolutionaries of this magnitude happen. None of this | 'created notoriety' has held any ground under the scrutiny of courts and justice in India, USA or elsewhere.

What is of real significance is that all of these attempts have not been able to mask even slightly, the light of wisdom and practicality that this Master continues to shine on the lives of everyone who watches, listens to or even just reads His messages. This appears to be even more evident in just this past one week, where the mere presence of this page on WQ seems to have drawn so many new readers from around the world to this page and to the WQ community!

Trusting the WQ administrators to make the right choice in this matter. 173.189.229.4 17:45, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing issues of actual relevance to inclusion of quotes at Wikiquote. The newspaper columns do show that he has published in an independent venue having editorial control. However, not every columnist is notably quotable. It would make a big difference if one could find some independent secondary sources that quote these columns or if his column could be shown to have received some notable recognition or award. (The articles about being a subject in brain research are not really relevant to quotability, and it is not being suggested here that he is insufficiently notable to have a biographical article at Wikipedia.) ~ Ningauble 19:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 *  Delete Nithyananda Swami has been arrested and on trial for serious crimes of organized and aggravated rape, fraud, money laundering, etc. In respect to his victims, it would be best that Wikipedia freeze any accounts of this person and his organizations until his pending trials have cleared him of the charges. Otherwise, Wikipedia's listing is just allowing him and his organization to legitimize his operations and do more of the same.  Please do a search for "Nithyananda Rape" "Nithyananda Fraud", etc., and it will become clear. --Justice1977
 * Whether he is on trial is irrelevant. Firstly, he must be assumed innocent until proven guilty.  Secondly, even if he is guilty as charged, that is no reason to delete the article.  There are articles here about far worse criminals, such as Al Capone.--Arthurvogel 18:57, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

 *  Keep.  Following the google search link on the project page in the comment by (BD2412 T) on Sep. 22 (....  virtually nothing but references to a sex scandal.....),  I found these links within the top 3 pages of the search results!!

I know that the results of Google indexing can change the order of pages relatively quickly, these were the results that came up around 6:00pm ET US, Sep. 24, 2011.

Is any more evidence required, regarding the Notability or Quotability of Paramahamsa Nithyananda? 173.189.229.4 01:33, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
