One of the signs a new religion is starting to go downhill as far as whatever spiritual use it may have had is when the message of the founder or his successors are venerated for themselves more than the message that was brought by him/her/it. This assumes of course the original message had some value to human life.
There is the saying you cannot get enlightened by riding on the coattails of an enlightened master. How much less likely an unenlightened master. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : so the vedas meant nothing before Marshy and don't mean anything without him??

Certainly there is no need for Maharishi Mahesha Yogi, the greatest RIshi, to be in any way, validated or justified by any tradition or text, rather it is the tradition or text that can only be made properly understood through understanding by Maharishi's perspective including the sound value of the Vedic literature, and the reading of Veda in Sanskirt for the development of consciousness.
