Opening a bit non-standard?

Sri Sri Ram Thakur (2 February 1860 – 2 May 1949), born originally as Sri Ramchandra Chakraborty, was a great spiritual master & guide of divine stature happened to be known primarily in the region of undivided bengal of India before the partition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jai Ram Tripura (talk • contribs) 07:22, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To save and salvage human beings from the unending and unbearable pains and misery, injustice and corruption of the materialistic world, the Almighty God comes in human form to this world from time to time. The Saviour shows the right path to set them free from their predicament. By His divine love and by demonstrating the ideal way of life He uplifts the ordinary human folk to extraordinary level of spiritual enlightenment and God-consciousness. "Sri Sri Ramthakur" is such a soul.

Isn't that a bit non-standard and potentially POV? I mean I don't want to disrespect a faith or anything, but don't we usually start with name and lifespan not a proclamation that someone's religious claims are true?--T. Anthony (talk) 03:01, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to anger Hindus, but I decided to put this on NPOV. I don't want to disrespect your religious claims, but usually you can't put them as true in quite this way. See Meher Baba or Mother Meera.--T. Anthony (talk) 04:05, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It is a potential POV. Should rewritten, reworded, potentially POV sentences and weasel words done away with. BengaliHindu (talk) 10:44, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@T. Anthony what's there of religious claims? this man, wasn't very focused on religion. although he was a Hindu, he respected other religions. he also himself mentioned in a books, "pir babas should be respected equally by offering shirni[an offering made with milk, often semolina, banana and a few dry fruits". Basically this man had peaceful preachings with no harm to other religions. okay, maybe when you read this article people had not updated the information very accordingly but here you go, I clarified this person's beliefs for ya in 2024. 223.191.53.232 (talk) 08:50, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV, Advert

Whole article is written like advert and needs to be rewritten! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 04:12, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Titodutta true. I have added an additional short information because of the word limit. 223.191.53.232 (talk) 08:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
