It is obvious that Gurudev lived in greater physical comfort as Shankaracharya than he did as a lone Sanyasin wandering around. It is also obvious that *somehow* money flowed into the math at Jyotirmath. Gurudev may have refused donations in exchange for instruction, but I doubt if he refused generic donations for the upkeep of the Math. Unless people are implying that he manifest money out of thin air? This would be counterfeiting, and illegal, so regardless of any ability to do so on Gurudev's part, I doubt if he did this, don't you? ------------------------ Yahoo!
