The previous version of this article contains little information about Shastriji Maharaj but is instead a disjointed series of anecdotes that do not provide an overview of his life and contributions in a way that would be useful to any user of Wikipedia. Furthermore, the episodes had no references and are therefore difficult to verify. Since the page hasn't seen much activity for quite a while, I decided to take a chronological approach to document Shastriji Maharaj's life and activities in an effort to generally improve the article.

The tone of this article in mine (Sannuki) opinion is that it is. Further nuances and discussions should be added. Wikipedia is a community effort to generate knowledge
Hi, this article about Shastriji Maharaj has way more info than required, which is confusing to any person genuinely interested in knowing about him. I propose deleting the second half of this article, and making it a better summary of his life, rather than making it a list of incidents which is not going to look good here on Wikipedia. Let me know your views - will wait for a week before proceeding. wildT 14:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildtornado (talk • contribs)
I have nooticed these problems before. The main problem is, is that a lot of the information has directly been copied from the BAPS website. This is the main reason that the article contains a lot of POV. I will see if I can make the necessary changes. World (talk • contributions) 11:29, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I will get to work on this as soon as I fix Pramukh Swami Maharaj which is view a lot more often and also contains POV World (talk • contributions) 15:02, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
The edit which states that Shastriji Maharaj was 'reprimanded in Vadtal temples is confusing. First, the sentence sounds awkward. The edit is implying that Shastriji Maharaj was trying to make his way back into the Vadtal Sampraday and instead he's being denied through the judges ruling. In actuality, Shastriji Maharaj's affidavit (used by the judge to render a ruling) clearly states that he and his associates seceded 24 years ago from the Vadtal and Amdavad gadi's and currently have no connection with either. Further, new temples have been erected and are being managed accordingly. I think the edit distorts the meaning of the reference in Williams' book. Accordingly, I'm reverting the edit.

:I corrected the introduction lead and readded this part. We can have other editors take a look. You are cherrypicking at this point and the citation clearly says that this man was reprimanded in Vadtal temples and it is not confusion. Swamiblue (talk) 18:07, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
I have reviewed the references thoroughly, removed duplicate citations and added page numbers. I believe this clean-up warrants the removal of the page number tag on the page. Apollo1203 (talk) 04:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
remove the this is part of vashvism because shastriji maharaj's sampraday BAPS believes BHagwan Swaminarayan to be the supreme deity not vishnu vashvinism believes Vishnu is the supreme deity — Preceding unsigned comment added by HEAD3535 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
When exactly, and how, according to secondary sources, did Bhagatji Maharaj appoint Shastriji Maharaj as his "spiritual successor," or recognize him as Aksarbrahman? Did he, actually? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 08:40, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Williams (2018) p.62, though, doesn't describe Shastriji Maharaj as the third spiritual successor of Swaminarayan, but as the second successor of Gunatitanand Swami as manifestation of Swaminarayan, as accepted/described by the BAPS.
Hi Joshua Jonathan, I have edited the first sentence to provide better clarity on the timing. Since the edit addresses the “when” tag, I had removed it. I also removed the “by whom” tag, as it doesn't seem appropriate here. While weasel words can sometimes be vague and ambiguous, “they may also be used in the lead section of an article or in a topic sentence of a paragraph, and the article body or the rest of the paragraph can supply attribution” WP:WEASEL. Since the lead sentence clearly states he was the founder of BAPS, it seems self-explanatory that he was accepted as the third spiritual successor by BAPS followers. Appropriate further detail is provided in the article body. Apollo1203 (talk) 13:34, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
@Chipsandipz: you added the tag, but you didn't add the explanatory talkpage-section, but of course you're referring to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Moksha88 and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Systematic NPOV review needed in the BAPS topic area.
