Namaste Sri Rick Ji.., Well all there needs to be done to help corroborate the veracity of your "friend's story" is to investigate the facts surrounding the history of the- "Indian TMO". Just start with the very beginning of the "Indian TMO".., Everything that happened some fifty three years ago with regards death of Sri Vibhuushiit Jyosimutt Shankaracharya Swami Brahmanand Saraswati the "indian tmo" had a hand in.. Starting with and including Mishmashi Brahmachari Prasad Varma and his uncle- Raj Varma. It was Raj Varma whom took it upon himself to re-write the history surrounding the death of Sri Swami BrahmanandJi in his book- 'Strange Facts about a Great Saint' re-printed by Varma & Sons, 1980. The spurious claims made then that- "an authentic will of Sri BrahmanandJi that was deposited with the Registars Office in Allhallabad on December 18, 1952" was never true! As court documents and undisputed evidence clearly shows.. reference page 792 .."Before his death, he executed a will which was published on June 8, 1953. By the will, he nominated a panel of 4 persons in-order of choice indicated in the will to succeed him as head of the Math..." http://www.austlii.edu.au/~andrew/CommonLII/INSC/1974/153.html Then later the "indian tmo" claimed this- .."As an aside, a few relatively unknown, early Indian publications of the Transcendental Meditation movement claim the Sankaracharya title for Mahesh Yogi himself, but this is not to be taken seriously..." http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucgadkw/position/shank-jyot-ascii.html After this attempt of claiming the title of "shankaracharya" by the "indian tmo" failed, it was followed by a charade that went on for years-- of the "indian tmo" and brahmachari Mahesh parading Swami Shantinand around as "shankaracharya of the north" from June 1953 until Shantinand finally quit calling himself "shankaracharya" in 1980. >From the Kropinski interview of Oct. 1986 with the only lawfully recognized Shankaracharya of Jyosimutt. .."He said, word came to me that he (Shantinand) had requested to be allowed on the stage. I allowed him to be present only because he has given up this nonsense of claiming title to Shankaracharya..." http://minet.org/Documents/shank-1 The "indian tmo" was even present at the celebration held by Sri SwaroopanandJi that Bob Kropinsky attended.. .."Shankaracharya then warned me that Mahesh now knows you are here in Vrindaban with me. He has sent Nadikishor and his spies here with others to watch you, you must be very careful. He placed a guard outside of my bedroom door at night and had someone travel with me at all times. Much to my amazement, I discovered that, in fact, I was being followed..." http://minet.org/Documents/shank-1 Then during the 1990s there was failed a political party-Ajay Bharat in the Indian province of Madhya Pradesh (city of Jalapur birthplace of brahmachari Mahesh) that was backed with "tmo" funds, and named after one of brahmachari Mahesh's newphew- Ajay Shristava. This now defunct political party was known to engaged in voter fraud in attempts to influnce elections.. please see my post at Alt.Meditation.Transcendental as i wrote about this very subject some 4 years ago... The Trail of Money and Deception From: ColdBluICE - view profile Date: Mon, Jul 29 2002 9:30 pm http://tinyurl.com/twfr9 More news articles on the ABP (Ajay Bharat Party) of Madhya Pradesh.. Yogi casts a shadow Of all people, Mahesh Yogi was a bizarre shadow over the brainstorming camp here. The Yogi, with more money than he can count, apparently has an ardent follower in former state education minister and Congress MLA till a day ago, Mukesh Nayak. Nayak, once an aide of Ajit Jogi, was seen as a potential star in the MP Congress but fell foul with powers that be. It was then that Yogi moved in. Apparently, he told Nayak that his party, Ajeya Bharat, would field many candidates in the coming Assembly polls and with things in a balance between the Congress and the BJP, Yogi feels, Ajeya Bharat could throw a lot of spanners in the wheel. So, Nayak was given a fleet of cars and plenty of cash as incentive to quit the Congress and spearhead Yogi's party. No amount of pleas from the Congress high command worked and Nayak timed his resignation in time for the Pachmarhi camp. http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19980907/25050904.html The "indian tmo" appears to be composed of members of at least two families- 'Shristava' and 'Varma'..or just one big happy family related to Mishmashi Brahmachari Prasad Varma. And, defrauding sincere gullible western people of their money has been the "indian tmo's" sole purpose of existance for more than forty years.
