Contest: Original Research[edit]

I don't understand...how could this be original research? He passed away in 1982.

Ref to published books has been given, although with no publishing details.

There are references to Swami Bon (besides mine) on the WWW

Thanks--Rsbj66 19:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Richard. Please cite sources that are verifiable. Until someone else can prove that you didn't make up a fictional character, your article is marked original research... which in itself doesn't mean that the article will be deleted. When you have a OR article, it will get scrutinized harder for NPOV and COI. If you say there are other references to the Swami on the web, then please lead us to them by properly citing them. Adding pages to external websites you control do not count.-- Emana 20:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Swami BH Bon Maharaj is quite real. He translated this book (listed as the author); there's more proof, but I'm about to go to bed. I bought that book in India 6 years ago. Siyavash 04:32, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Emana,

Thanks for the guidance. I am not trying to trick Wikipedia. There is no conspiracy. If I would have known it was so hard I never would have taken the time. I am just putting what I know. Concerning Swami Bon...thanks for your help. Could you please take a look at these links I found and let me know if these are suitable...if so I'll take time to add them in as references.--Rsbj66 11:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ANOTHER WIKIPEDIA REFERENCE TO SWAMI BON (NOT FROM ME): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadananda_Swami Thanks I hope you see that I am sincere. I don't know that much about Wiki rules or even coding. But I'm trying contribute what I have. Hope this helps establish Swami Bon Maharaj--Rsbj66 20:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical works by / about Swami Bon[edit]

On Scribd.com I uploaded a PDF of "Second year of the Gaudiya Mission in Europe", a booklet from 1935 by Swam Bon, which is from my own library:

Another booklet that I uploaded is called "The Founder of the Institute of Oriental Philosophy". As far as I can ascertain it is published by the institute itself:
