It was a celebration of the birthday of the oldest living desciple of Brahmananda Saraswati. Kropinsky apparently got a letter from Swami Prakashanand Saraswati requesting an audience with Svarupanand. All the desciples of Brahmanand were invited to the party including Shantanand. During the interview with Kropinsky, Svarupanand mentioned the will and Shantanand, and the poison rumor, but didn't say anything about a cook. However, the Svarupanand did confirm that Shantanand was to sit with to him on the stage. From reading the Kropinsky interview it seems like Svarupanand did not challenge the position of Shantanand.
So, if Shantanand was the cook that conspired with the Marshy to murder the Guru Devji, then he would hardly have been invited to sit with the Svarup and the oldest living desciple at the birthday celebration, would he? Shankaracharys aren't supposed to be sitting with cooks on the stage, especially ones who conspire to poison your guru! Do you agree? ------------------------ Yahoo!
