Talk:Gaudiya Vaishnavism

References

As it stands, this entry does not contain adequate traditional or academic source material, and indeed many of the references are questionable, subpar or biased to one particular Gaudiya group, i.e. the Hare Krishna Movement. Vyasashuka (talk) 20:41, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Added reference to S K De's classic work on the history of the GV movement. There are many others that can and should be mentioned, but this is an important start. Vyasashuka (talk) 21:17, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Terms and Translations

Deleted "and Hare Krishna" at the beginning of the entry because this is too biased to the "Hare Krishna Movement," which seems the implied, but not stated, reference. Vyasashuka (talk) 21:15, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Source: Hindu Mythology, Vedic and Puranic

From the preface, this book looks to be a good, unbiased, secondary source that someone can quote from. There is a section titled "Chaitanya" on pages 260 to 262, where the last paragraph talks about the sect and its followers at that time.

Bengali Vaishnavism

@103.248.236.98 and Dāsānudāsa: There have been some recent edits that remove and revert the usage of "Bengali Vaishnavism" as an alias name. In reviewing the reference, I found that the cited page 703 doesn't exist on the ref's linked page, so I added the "Failed verification" template. I did find in the preface that it says "Bengal Vaisnavism is not co-extensive with the religious system associated with the name of Caitanya and his adherents". Further discussion can be had here to avoid an edit war.

There are, of course, plenty of other forms of Vaishnavism in Bengal. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 08:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
