Vaj may not be aware--or does not want readers to be aware--that this interview was conducted by Robert Kropinski, who had made a huge deal of suing TM for all kinds of damages (his case was essentially thrown out of court, and there was a private settlement on the one remaining charge). Plus which, if you read the entire interview, you'll find many misstatements of fact on the part of the shankaracharya, plus an obvious very strong anti-Maharishi bias. Kropinski's intention in holding this interview was to provide the shankaracharya with a platform to denounce MMY. So this is hardly what one could consider an "objective" report. <snip> > No assembly of saints has either conferred upon him a title of > Maharishi Did any "assembly of saints" confer the same title on Ramana Maharishi?
