The Shank who is so full of vile, and of course is the source of Vaj´s fanciful rumours is the fellow who tried to become Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math but was refused. He somewhat blamed Maharishi for this and later used every opportunity to speak ill of Maharishi. Those who think a Shank only sees and speaks the truth must reconsider their beliefs, they are not necessarily saints.
