It is completely inappropriate for the article to refer to Maharaj Charan Singh as "Maharaj Ji". It is a term of reverence and affection used by followers of his path. It is neither encyclopedic nor neutral.

Although I am a Sant Mat follower, I also respect the fact that this is an encyclopedia. So, I very well agree with the above comment. Perhaps Wikipedia's editors can do some standardization in the treatment of this and related articles. By way of the following table, I would like to demonstrate a need for some system of parallelism or uniformity. Oliver Puertogallera (talk) 13:42, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
