Article[edit]

This article is in terrible situation and needs a major editing exercise !Jonathansammy (talk) 21:20, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But what in specific are the inaccuracies in the article that need to be fixed? I agree that having only so few sources is not compatible with a well written article, but when I read it, I am not struck by anything specific that is grossly inaccurate. In fact it is better than a lot of Wikipedia articles. If there is nothing that is incorrect in the article, I see no reason to change it. [[User:|User:]] ([[User talk:|talk]]) 16:25, 23 April 2013

mistake in article title[edit]

Satya pir - Narayan[edit]

Wiikipedia says assume good faith. Nevertheless , I have no problem in quoting from some of the references I had cited. If I want to , I can add dozens of references related to Satya Pir / Satya Narayan but I thought three should give enough weight.

This references says^[1] "One supplicant will address him as Satya Narayana, implying that he is an avatar of Krishna, while another one in a different tale will be told that Satya Pir has just come from Mecca, which would make him Muslim."

This reference says ^[2]

"Some of these figures have been viewed as pirs and by others as deities as evidenced in literary sources about figues such as Satya pir, Satya Narayan or Pir-Narayan" Jonathansammy (talk) 17:24, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another reference:

Moreover, Sufism gained popularity in Orissa and led to the emergence of the Satya-Pir tradition.Even today Hindus worship Satyanarayan and pir together.^[3]

None of these references even remotely support the notion that Satyanarayana puja is syncretism of Hindu and Sufi traditions.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 23:02, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Really !! Have a look at this then.[1] I hope you can see Google books on where you live. Let me know otherwise and then I can put the reference details. Jonathansammy (talk) 22:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Satya Narayan (Hindu deity) into Satyanarayan Puja[edit]

The deity is intrinsically linked to the Puja ritual, without any separate existence Redtigerxyz ^Talk 07:42, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
