Varaha Upanishad[edit]
Vishnu in a boar (Varaha) avatar rescues Bhudevi (earth)
- ... that the medieval era Varaha Upanishad (Varaha pictured) states that moksha is the state when a man does not shrink out of fear from the world, nor the world shrinks from him of fear?
- ALT1: ... that the Varaha Upanishad (Varaha pictured) is a Hindu Yoga text that asserts nonviolence, truthfulness, compassion, forgiveness and non-hypocrisy are necessary Yamas (virtues)?
- ALT2: ... that the medieval era Hindu text Varaha Upanishad discusses Yoga and mentions the Rooster pose (pictured)?
Improved to Good Article status by Nvvchar (talk), Ms Sarah Welch (talk). Nominated by Nvvchar (talk) at 03:02, 4 February 2016 (UTC).
GA approved 2 days before nomination. New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT0 and ALT2 hook refs verified and cited inline; ALT1 hook ref AGF and cited inline. However, I think ALT2 is the best for a general audience, and together with the image of the Rooster pose, which is freely-licensed, makes for a great lead hook. QPQ done. Good to go.
