You can refer to the Kropinsky interview with the Shankaracharya to confirm this - no mention of a cook. And why?
First, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati didn't employ a cook. Second, he wasn't at Jyotirmath when he died. And third, there's no mention anywhere in the Indian press at the time that Guru Dev died of anything but natural causes. > After the will was produced, this clerk was so powerful as to > get the first guy on the list proclaimed Shankaracharya over the > protestations (if you believe what everyone here appears to) > liaterally every other disciple of Gurudev besides MMY and the cook. > Sounds like a pretty powerful clerk! But, it's a fact that there was no dispute over the will, according to Swami Svarupanand Saraswati, and he agrees that Shantanand was the first to be mentioned in the will. ------------------------ Yahoo!
