My only source is my memory of what MMY himself said on a tape...something to the effect that when he met Guru Dev that he told him to finish his studies first and then to join him. I assume that meant for him to finish his studies in Physics at university which he was then attending. I also assume that that meant that he, MMY, did indeed finish his studies which, I assume, meant he finished his four-year program and graduated with a BA or BSc. > > I would suggest that if no one does, the > actual point brought up by this website is > a valid one, that he's gotten away with a > "host of absurdities" because almost no one > ever bothered to question what they were > told. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
