Improvements needed

This article needs editing. It is clearly confessional in its wording, and the biblography is far too long. There should be some mention of Eidlitz's Ph.D., his honorary doctorate(s), and his time in Sweden.

On second thought, I'm not sure Eidlitz took a Ph.D. He received a honorary doctorate from Lund university in 1975. I thought that his work on Kṛṣṇa-Caitanya from 1968 was a filosofie doktor dissertation: http://libris.kb.se/bib/650114. However, it could be that he took a filosofie licenciat. According to international guidelines, the title filosofie licenciat translates as Ph.D. if it was received before some educational reforms that probably took place around 1968. I'll get back on this.

Direct quotes from a webpage

This sentence (like the two from the same source that I removed earlier) is a direct quote. It should be rephrased:

He has written about his spiritual journey in his book Journey to Unknown India.[1]

Also, the webpage, with its sentimental and religious language, is hardly a good reference.
