I think you're correct here Mark, eventually if one does some minor investigations, one finds of the self-assumed "Maharishi" alias, the strange fact he was never trained or ordained as a yogi, the fact Swami Bramananda never ever authorized him (quite the opposite), and that the puja was a poem of one of SBS's students that Mahesh had been demanded to throw away. As the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math said about the death of Guru Dev "then he [Mahesh] spread his net". The T M Sidhi was the coup de grace, a technique guaranteed to divert the nervous system into insanity, derangement and slavish obedience: a dark coherence. RWC Carlsen was probably the first to intuit this IMO. Many other yogis have since.
