He claimed that as Brighu, he was Maharishi's dad, one of his four sons. He also claimed that Maharishi sat on a dais with two people on his right and left to imitate his father, himself. He told us that before he revealed who he was. Oddly he said that Maharishi was instructing him to do it. It is odd to me cuz I would think that as a former Brighu he should be able to make such decisions for himself, right? He had been Plato and a disciple of Jesus and he still needed daddy Maharishi's permission? That part was a bit slippery as if he was offloading the responsibility for making such an outrageous claim onto Maharishi. "The guru made me do it!" (Said in Flip Wilson's Laugh In voice!)
Shankara was the incarnation of Vyasa who wrote lots of the Vedic literature including the Gita. In Hinduism, Veda Vyasa was considered to be part Vishnu with Krishna being all Vishnu all the time. But I don't think we can begrudge the guy his success. He made a bundle of cash as a lawyer and he has a hobby, being whatever it was he was laying down. It shows how complicated people are and how really energetic driven people can kick ass in business, while not being exactly consistent through their whole personality. Also think of the hutzpa this guy could direct for his own gain. It doesn't surprise me that he kinda believed in himself a little throughout his career. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : how successful can he be when he is in essence claiming to be the spiritual father of the whole TM Movement and the so called holy tradition from whence TM supposedly came by being Shankara's daddy in the ancient times? Talk about wanting attention - man oh man. His sister's passing seems to have unhinged him. From: "wayback71@...
