As me old friend, Anoop Chandola points out, Swai Brahmananda Saraswati was the most important spiritual leader in India during the first half of the 20th Century. IF there was even a hint of a rumor that his death was from anything other than natural causes, there would have been rioting in the streets. In fact, there was not. any riots or any such rumor at the time of his death. People are mis-translating "food poisoning" as "poisoning." The controversy that MMY was involved with was over whether or not to move SBS while he was ill. MMY's faction won and SBS subsequently died, for which the opposing faction blames him for SBS's death. Lawson
