I have exactly the same guess. Chopra's a sloppy storyteller with a shaky relationship with the swap space of his memory, but it feels to me like the basic essence of the story is true. The nitpicky details don't matter a damn to me. What was interesting about Chopra's tale for me was hearing him speak about something I'd seen myself, how jealous Maharishi would get when someone was upstaging him. On the other hand, rhe reactiveness and the tone of the other doctor seems a tad too devotional for me to take it seriously. This is not a doctor speaking about his patient, not when he refers to him as Maharishiji. This is a disciple speaking about his master. And disciples can justify saying all sorts of stuff if they think it protects or glorifies their master. It's like Angela said -- these are just two points of view, neither being anything like "the truth." They're just points of view. And they're both just stories. You take what you need from a story and you leave the rest.
