Dear Dear Merudanda, Thanks be to someone here who really Knows. I hardly never been west of the Des Moines River. I just meditate and wait here for the saints to come visit to Fairfield, Iowa. So, does our TM Shankaracharya of Jyotirmaṭha: Vāsudevānanda Sarasvatī have a controlling hand or a thumb over any of the Estate of our Maharishiji in India? And, the character of this guy? Does he give darshan or just sit in the chair? Is he scholarly and can give Satsanga? Can teach and advise technique? A Sat Guru saint? What is he really like? Is he actually spiritual or was he just put in the job by Maharishi? I hear from travelers the guy is a grump. Who runs TM in India if Girish Varma either stays in jail or is put on administrative leave from TM? Does this guy's Shankaracharya organization get it to run or put someone in charge of the bank accounts and properties? With integrity? Will the Times of India report on this? Meditators everywhere want to know these things, -Buck in the Dome
