Re: [FairfieldLife] The More Proper Pronunciation of Maharishi
Svāmī Brahmānanda Sarasvatī passed away in 1953, but he had not clearly indicated his successor. This immediately caused a problem, as he had initiated a number of disciples into Saṃnyāsa. A few weeks after he passed away, a will was found, according to the terms of which, a disciple called Svāmī Śāntānanda Sarasvatī was named as the first choice for succeeding to the Jyotirmaṭha title. However, many followers of Brahmānanda Sarasvatī were satisfied neither with the credentials of Śāntānanda, nor with the validity/authenticity of the will. Perhaps, the doubts about the will were themselves based partly upon the perception that Śāntānanda was not a good choice for successor. http://indology.info/papers/sundaresan/ INDOLOGY - The Shankaracharya(s) of Jyotirmath - Vid...

Every reference I can find to it online either says its bogus or that its not. Those that say it is bogus give no real reason for it other than it must be. The ones that claim it isn't bogus claim it was filed in the proper way with the proper people months before SBS died.

Nope - I had never heard the version that it had been filed months before - I had always seen the version that it just showed up after he died.

The history that MJ quotes makes it sound like the will appeared from nowhere, but that isn't the case apparently. And the main political objections came from the group that selected SBS originally becauseTHEY wanted to select SBS' successor, according to Professor Chandola.

Re: [FairfieldLife] The More Proper Pronunciation of Maharishi
Where did you learn Sanskrit? For the record Indians tend to gliss over the a sounds. It can sometimes sound like they are running a bunch of consonants together. Westerners see the transliterated as and try to pronounce them. Thus from an Indian's pronunciation it may indeed sound like Marshy.

FFL: Where writing projects come to die, and where writers become, well, just dull. In Barry's case, I guess his grand project never materialized, and he's resorted to a daily writing exercise, where he tells us the same moral of the story every day. But still, that has a little more creativity than the other professed writer here, Michael Jackson, who just blurts out the same phrases day after day. I guess he considers what he wrote below, an inspiration, or maybe a burst of creativity.
