To-do list for Guru: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2019-07-05

  1. Resolve dispute within consensus by active editors
  2. Assessment of the disciple by the guru, including mentioning of "noviciate" (also to add balance to the article as requested by anon .72 and Zappaz )
  3. Section on Guru succession and the lineage/parampara
  4. Try to find out whether Agehananda Bharati has written about gurus. E.g. in his book Light at the Center.
  5. Try to find something about the guru as an object of projection and attachment.
  6. Write about surrender to the guru.
  7. Write about or link to Eklavya.
  8. Section on Guru/disciple relationship
  9. Find more diverse Hindu scholars to cite from
  10. Check whether Reinhart Hummel has written something interesting about the subject. e.g. in his German language books Indische Mission und neue Frömmigkeit im Westen, Kohlhammer 1980, or in Gurus, Meister, Scharlatane Freiburg i. Br. 1996 (this book was sold out when I tried to buy it) .
  11. write down about positive effects of conversion, according to Jan van der Lans in his book followers of the guru/volgelingen van de goeroe
  12. Add a section on Importance of Guru in Jainism which is missing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anishshah19 (talk • contribs) 08:08, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

Psychotics
