Talk:Ashram system

Bonus material on Nepal?

I suspect you may have tacked on some bonus material on Nepal to this article, Indra. No big deal-- I can move it for you if it's an inconvenience. Otherwise, this article looks good-- I may want to add some material, but I think you've done a good job of covering the Asrama system. Brian P. Long 10:24, 22 April 2008 (CDT)

Maybe this should be at Ashram, or perhaps some variant thereof?

Noel, "āśram system" (or "āśrama system")is actually pretty standard terminology for this subject. For example, I coincidentally have Patrick Olivelle's seminal book on the subject on my desk at the moment, and it is called 'The Āśrama System'. I suppose it would make more sense to have the article living at 'āśram' would probably be better as an article on brahmanical hermitages, or whatever. As you might infer, and in conjunction with our brand new Romanization policy, there would be a rationale for moving this article to 'āśram system' or 'āśrama system', which I would be in favor of doing soonish. Indra, what's your feeling about moving this article to 'āśrama system'? Brian P. Long 09:25, 23 April 2008 (CDT)

Do we want to make a broader article on varṇāśramadharma and throw a lot of this material into it? This article is good as it is now, but we could also use the higher-level article, too. Brian P. Long 09:31, 23 April 2008 (CDT)

Hey, if it's the standard terminology used in the field, I'm good to go. J. Noel Chiappa 14:17, 23 April 2008 (CDT)
