IIRC there is also an interview with one of the Shankaracharya's

Q: Mahesh Yogi claims that he preaches yoga according to the instruction

of his Guru. The truth of the matter, however, is that Guru Dev never

asked anyone who is not a Brahmin by birth to go and spread his  

teachings.

What is your opinion?


Shankaracharya: This is true. In reality, preaching, initiating, guiding

people engaged in spiritual pursuits, is the duty of those who are

born in a Brahmin family. If he is a follower of Sanatan Dharma (the

Hindu religion), he should not do what he is doing. This is against

the orders of his Guru. Moreover, making others write puujya (revered),

calling himself Maharishi (a great seer) is totally inappropriate.

No assembly of saints has either conferred upon him a title of Maharishi

nor has announced him puujya.


In the ashram he was doing the work of typing and writing and  

translation.

Then he became a sadhu. However, he has never practiced yoga.

Of course, this guy left Gurudev around the time MMY joined up with Gurudev, so how 

does he possibly know? 



It does not mean he did not remain close to SBS!
