Meaning of the name Rajarsi Janakananda

edit

On page 47 of the biography of Rajarsi published by the Self-Realization Fellowship (Rajarsi Janakananda: a great Western yogi), it states:

"Rajarsi is a spiritual title meaning 'royal rishi'; Janakananda means 'the bliss of Janaka'. Janaka was a great king as well as a fully Self-realized master of ancient India.

The Sanskrit word Rajarsi is composed of raja "king" rsi, "rishi, illumined saint or sage."

An early misspelling as 'Rajasi' in which the r in rsi (rishi) is dropped, means 'in the quality of rajas', the activating force in Nature; and is also the name of an aspect of Divine Mother, God's creative or 'activating force' in Nature. Neither of these definitions is related to the meaing of the spiritual title given by Paramahansaji to Rajarsi and penned by him as deriving from raja (king) and rsi (saint)."

The explanation of Mr. Lynn's name in the article comes from materials by Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters), a disciple of Yogananda's who was formerly affiliated with the Self Realization Fellowship and has headed the Ananda Church of Self-Realization, another kriya yoga organization, since its founding in 1964.

I thought in the interests of fairness that the explanation of Mr. Lynn's name taken from his biography by the Self Realization Fellowship should be noted. Rajarsi became president of the SRF after Yogananda's death and presided over the SRF until his own death in 1955.

Because some of these sources aren't available I wasn't able to do as thorough of a check as I would have liked but I did do some source checks. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  7. Overall assessment. Since this article needs significant changes to be made to the sources I'm going to put it on hold for now. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:00, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

The article is cited, well-written, neutral, and addresses the main topics. There isn't much info available about this person so I think this article is reasonably broad enough. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:37, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
