Absolutely no reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG, only trivial passing mentions in a few R's. Accesscrawl (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I have no opinion on the article itself at this time. One of a series of malformed nominations by the editor--@Accesscrawl: for future nominations please fully follow the procedures at WP:AFDHOWTO. --Finngall ^talk 03:59, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep entire books have been written on the subject and are found with a simple web search. Just because an article is currently poorly sourced does not mean it should be deleted: that's what WP:BEFORE searches are for. SportingFlyer talk 03:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep To my mind already sufficiently covered in the refs provided. There are also academic treatments, although these tend to focus on Sivananda Saraswati and his school rather than on the practice (e.g. [1], [2], [3]). One could make a case for merging with Sivananda Saraswati, although since the practice seems to have escaped from direct affiliation with the ashrams, that might be less suitable. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
