This article looks like yet another corner of the walled garden that exists in relation to many yoga etc related articles. The sources are almost entirely based on Godman's words and where not actually published by him they appear to be distinctly lacking in independence. Is this chap even notable? The article has previously been deleted - see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/David_Godman - and I'm doubtful whether this latest version is any better than the previous one. - Sitush ( talk) 17:20, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Crossing out 'Ramana' in 'Ramana Maharshi' is the equivalent of crossing out 'Smith' in 'Mr Smith' and just referring to him as 'Mr' in subsequent appearances. "Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi" is too long to keep repeating in its entirety throughout the article. Ramana is too casual. The best seems "Sri Ramana". ( Iddli ( talk) 02:44, 27 October 2015 (UTC))
Also Oxford, just like Osborne. Did Godman graduate? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 05:34, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

He has live in Tiruvannamalai, South India (near Ramana Maharshi's ashram) since 1976.
He has been married twice, once to "Vasanta" (prior to an interview that appeared in 2008 where he describes her as his former wife), who lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at one point, and more recently to travel writer Elizabeth Huesing of Boulder, Colorado - they were married in Boulder in 2012 (there is an announcement on a web page) and seem to have separated or divorced in 2015 (in a 2015 blog posting, she refers to herself as a single woman living in Lahore, Pakistan). 162.205.217.211 ( talk) 21:25, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
