oh i see, since there is nothing but hearsay regarding the

does that just not matter, trumped by character assassination?
It's not considered "hearsay" when it's already been published in
newspapers Dawn. I'd say it's now "no longer hearsay" that old Mahesh
was not a "life long renunciate", but instead, a lifelong liar and
loved the ladies.
For clarities sake, let's look at all the assumed alias's of Mahesh
Varma and see which ones ring true:
"His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi"
His Holiness: Joyce Collin Smith put an end to this one. He just
decided one day himself "His Holiness" and began ordering stationary
with "H.H." on it! Detailed in her excellent "Call No Man Master".
Maharishi: another assumed name. He claimed it was because people were
calling him that at early lectures, but really there is no external
evidence of this. Another great ego grab. He couldn't of been more
grandiose in terms of Sanskrit names, after all his most recent
competitor was Ramana Maharshi, the real deal.
Mahesh: his personal name and the only one that's legit.
Yogi: According to guru-bhais of ole Mahesh and Guru Dev, Mahesh never
trained in yoga-darshana. In fact when it came time to teach yoga-
asanas, M. got a gym teacher to write the course on it. This one's not
looking good either. But it does look cool on your name, esp. if you
dress the part and carry a flower.
Looks like all that's left is "Mahesh". Oh well, it may take a while
to make all the corrections on that one. ;-)
