Hi Barry, isn't your statement above like saying the sun really doesn't give off any heat- what we are experiencing on a cloudless day is our own increased metabolism? Unlike those you are addressing, there is nothing...absolutely nothing in it for me whether or not Maharishi or Brahmananda Saraswati are or were or will be enlightened. To use a crude phrase, I could give a rat's ass, either way. Nonetheless I also do not doubt my perception. Just like anything else, something is true for me if it continues to be true according to my direct perception. And as far as I can tell, both Brahmananda Saraswati and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi are supremely enlightened. SSRS too. It is not a difficult thing to assertain, and really needs no thought to confirm. It is simply energy signature matching, as all Self realized souls have a very distinct and unmistakeable energy signature. However if you continue your belief that Maharishi is not enlightened, I have absolutely no argument with that.
