You already pointedout to me a url where this issue is discussed. The courts DO decide things in modern India. The fact that no sitting > Shankaracharayas recognize Vasudevananda means the Shankaracharian > traditon -- the lineage, the traditon, do not recognize him.

Its not a conclusion > I thought possible or "sought". We chose those "facts" under contention that best support our own beliefs. Chandola never learned TM. He's a prominent Sanskrit scholar.
