Richard, did you see merudanda's chart?! He seems to know quite a lot about the situation. Are you questioning the accuracy of the info in the chart?

The only member of this list that knows anything about the Shankaracharyas is Vaj, and he's no longer posting anything. All you need to know is that Swami Vasudevananda Saraswati is the successor to SBS at Jyotirmath and he is supported by the VHP. The other guy, the Swami Svarpanand, went over to another saint and Svarupanand is close to the Congress Party and Priyanka Gandhi. Go figure.

But recently MahaRaja Nader Raam [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Nader ]did appeal to the judiciary of the Shankaracharya to assert his own primacy over a recentcoup d'état attempt by TM Mother Divine along with an Indian contingent.
