Was this the Shankaracharya that Mahesh "owned"?--there was one that was basically 'bought and sold'. Just a like a special interest group buying for legislation, influence, etc. That's all I needed to hear, esp. given all the other improprieties.
In general the Shankaracharyas are not only realized--and the only ones who ever claimed M. was enlightened was his followers--they had to have expertise in the scriptures. Since M. relies heavily on pundits for his knowledge, in this case 'two strikes and you're out'. The most powerful of the seats, Sringeri (Shankaras seat), from what I could tell spending a lot of time with the sanyasis, they considered M. an aberration and a 'seller of the Veda'. Many felt he was headed to Patala-loka...
