Hamsa Yoga

This article was marked for speedy deletion as a repost of the deleted Hamsa yoga (small 'y') - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamsa yoga.

Although this version is similar to the previous one, it contains references which to my mind deserve being checked out rather than speedily deleted. No vote. Thryduulf 13:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - All of the added references made no mention of Hamsa Yoga but either Yogananda's Hong Sau technique of concentration (note, not a Yoga but a technique within Yoga), the use of Soham mantra, or Hans Yoga, which is a completely different Yoga. The titles of the references were altered (doctored) to appear that they are about Hamsa Yoga. Muktananda's book I Am That : The Science of Hamsa, for example, is about Hamsa (gander), a generic word with spiritual significance, and does not mention "Hamsa Yoga" at all. I have that book. - Terminator III
• Keep - References to 'Hamsa Yoga' as a form of pranayam (see talk page). This one finds it truly unbelievable that Terminator cannot open his eyes. It is clear that Delete below is the same person. Creating user names just to boslter the voting process. The references were not 'commentary' at all. Tha original article on 'Hamsa yoga' has very LITTLE resemblance to the present article. 'Hamsa Yoga' is a very traditional form of pranayama as shown in the references and articles that show its relation to 'So Ham'. Who says that only traditional forms of yoga have to be in Wikipedia anyway? It is an EDUCATIONAL resource! 213.106.1.25 00:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Shaninath
  • Nope. Not the same person. This page is for votes and short comments. References do not belong on it, they belong in the article. Gurunath 13:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - not one of the traditional forms of yoga, this page seems a complete hash of disparate information. Gurunath 03:53, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Terminator III and Gurunath. I suggest the material be moved into pranayama and jyotisha respectively and this article should become a disambiguation page. ---Baba Louis 15:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
