Hey vaj,
Why do you insist on calling Maharishi, Mahesh?
I don't consider him a Maharishi or a Yogi--and that's what Swami
Brahmananda Saraswati called him, someone I respect. I'll defer to
SBS and other Hindu sages I respect.
Eh, you have an interesting perspective....
Michelle Obama calls him "Barack," so that's what you should call
the POTUS also?
I do almost always refer to him as Barack, rarely "President Obama",
but probably just because I like the sound of his name. O'bama is
just too Irish sounding. :-)
And as for what SBS called him, seems to me that you probably have no
idea unless Paul Mason has documented some conversation or speech
where SBS refers to his secretary as "Mahesh" in public...
I believe it was the Kropinski interview with the Shankaracharya of
the north where I first heard it. Then others who also called him
Mahesh, it was typically because they actually found it offensive
that he called himself a "Maharishi", a very grandiose title, very
presumptuous.
Anyhew, I'm with the guy in the lion chair on this one. :-)
