All of these standard of credentialing should come down to be of use in selecting the next Shankaracharya and the next too. Everyone else should step aside. We got to have standards and not just have any jack-ass sitting on that seat. Like, what is the Holy Tradition coming to, Girish Varma?

The committee should chose Shankaracharyas on the basis of modern standards of neurophysiology at the least. Then also as there is a face value of enough cultivated shakti as like saints of old as real luminaries were and then certainly too they should have scholarly credentials enough to profess the Knowledge properly in context. Modern Shanks proly should pass a board certification exam too as to their proficiency in the traditional scriptural literature, to also be objective. At least an oral exam if they can't read or write. Shankara and Brahmananda Saraswati Guru Dev had these resplendent when they held the Joytirmath. -Buck --- merudanda wrote: Correction even earlier: What you are quoting is from Wednesday, October 7, 1998 to be precise!see: http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19981007/28050544.html http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19981007/28050544.html http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19981007/28050544.html BTW The background of the whole thing of meeting suggestion was about one Sannyasin named Adhokshajananda Tirtha, who called himself the Sankaracharya of Puri and seems to were an attempt to resolve the Jyotirmath dispute by removing Swarupananda, Vasudevananda and Madhava Asrama from the seat . And thereby to have had no other purpose than 1. to create doubt regarding Niscalananda's title at Puri, 2. thereby strengthening his own claim being the Puri Sankaracharya Hope this helps...

How about make a hospital visit to Phopal lndia its 83°F there and sunny. Girish Chandra Varma, has been shifted to jail hospital Phopal, India because of diabetic (he is a diabetic and takes insulin) and high blood pressure (his car will be examined for rape evidence). Prisoner's Hospital is on Jail Road, Jahangirabad Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh(little forest-cool and peaceful), opposite the Motilal Nehru Stadium Jahangirabad. Close by there is the Madhya Pradesh Tourism's Boat Club on the Upper lake not so far from the prison which provides facilities for exciting trips by sail, paddle and motorboats. M.P.Police do have a Horse Riding School and not to forget to visit the Nidaan Riding Club its one of the oldest riding club in Central India Bon voyage, Bon voyage, .... you and your delegation of the long-term spiritually experienced Maharishi and Brahmananda Saraswati tradition meditators of the Holy Tradition from Fairfield, Iowa. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote: Yes absolutely, to add real spiritual coherence and depth to matters of adjudicating this confliction they really ought to receive a delegation of the long-term spiritually experienced Maharishi and Brahmananda Saraswati tradition meditators of the Holy Tradition from Fairfield, Iowa.
