In legitimate saints they will often lock into the style of

he exhibited none of the traditional signs of a yogi. If he did,
they'd be milking it for all it's worth. I suspect this photo was
leaked to give that illusion.
This is fascinating, and to my way of thinking gives us a means to
determine his level of attainment. Is he, or isn't he? Only his
poster knows for sure. Yogananda used his death for a demonstration
of his attainment. Maybe now, Maharisi in death, will answer this
question for us.
Perhaps he already has.
