Please do not remove this article. There is more than one Swami X in the world, and whoever has been repeatedly deleting this article out of some misplaced assumption that this article is a joke or a hoax is violating the basic precepts of Wikipedia and committing vandalism himself.

Okay, what is wrong with this source? (ref this edit) Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 10:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
I don't have time to waste on this article anymore. However, those of you who have seen fit to delete the quotations and descriptions of Swami X's public performances in real life have committed a desecration. This is exactly what's wrong with Wikipedia--foolish nonsense from "published" sources is ok to quote but real life direct observations are "not encyclopedic". This results in the perpetuation of utter garbage that happens to be in print and the failure to advance the course of truth when it's not in print. In this case, every single one of the quotations from Swami X were real life, actual quotes that were heard and remembered by at least two generations of college students at UCLA and UC Berkeley, as was the description of how he performed, who accompanied him in his performances, and how he interacted with his audience. Again, I have no more time to waste on this endeavor, but I sincerely suggest that one of you who has been wily-nily deleting things from this article and wholly bowdlerizing it should put some of it back in the way it was!!
