Oh, okay, thanks. Then why is Share wishing everyone except MMY "happy January
12"? I thought you were supposed to wish the guy with the birthday this. FF has
some interesting traditions I am, evidently, unfamiliar with.

Maybe I should rephrase what I wrote: Vaj isn't around any more to give
us any insider information on the comings and goings of the
Shankaracharyas of India.
Apparently Vaj was over there and sat at the feet of the Shankaracharya
of Sringeri. Several years ago I used to get some insider information
when I frequented a nearby yoga camp at Barsana Dham, one of the largest
Hindu temples outside India, and I would overhear gossip from some of
the devotees over there. The resident Swami at Barsana was apparently a
direct disciple of SBS and claimed to have once been offered the
Jyotirmath seat. Go figure.
