The article calls him Swami throughout this article. He is Swamy for his followers, not for the general public and Misplaced Pages. The tone is also promotional in nature. Venkat TL (talk) 09:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Who? Bhaktivedanta Swami? That was his name: "Swami" was his name as a sannyasi, comparable to "Sridhar" in this article (though obviously the former didn't go by "Swami BV Swami", for obvious reasons). There are also Swami Goswamis -- for example, Bhakti Saranga Goswami, where the "Goswami" is his sannyasa name.

Bhaktivedanta Swami explains it himself in this article:

So far the title "Swami" is concerned, although this word is used generally for sannyasins, this "Swami" is my particular name as a sannyasi. Therefore, it must be suffixed at the end of my real name, A.C. Bhaktivedanta. So far the prefix "Swami" is concerned, every sannyasi has got to do that, but two ways "Swami" (Swami A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami) is not good looking. The end "Swami" is necessary because it is my sannyasa name.

"Prabhupada" is the honorific, not "Swami". Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
