Hi Paul:

This is precisely what the sannyasis of the Holy Shankaracharya Order 
told me: Mahesh was going to patala-loka (hell) for "selling the Ved".

It's not unusual to give dakshina (money offering) to a GURU, but 
usually there is a deeper commitment form the guru in that case. MMY 
has avoided being a guru.
