Subject: [FairfieldLife] How old IS MMY?
Most sources that I've seen say he just celebrated his 90th
birthday, but Dr. Jay Coplin says
he was born in 1912 and joined Gurudev when he was 28, a short time
before or after he
became Shankaracharya. http://members.aol.com/drcoplin/
This actually makes more sense: MMY hung around with Gurudev for 13
years starting in
1940/1941 until his death in 1953, For him to be 90 this year means
he was only 23 or 24
when he joined the monastery which means he had NO life experiences
out of college and yet
managed to become the secretary to the Shankaracharya, managing the
whole thing,
according to most accounts, within a few short years of leaving
college.
He has given his birth info to Purusha to do Jyotish on. And I have
friends who have seen his passport. As I recall, 1917 is the
correct date.
I had actually posted the printout of all his Jyotish placements, and
their meanings here years ago. It was pretty revealing in a lot of ways.
It would be interesting to see SBS's. Surely since they check the
Jyotish on Shankaracharya's that data should exist somewhere.
