Please post it here so we can read it. Actually, in the rumor spread by the Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, Mahesh was NOT the *leading suspect* - it was the Jyotirmath Ashram 'cook'. You need to keep up with these debates, and keep the rumors pure - stop the spin. Apparently you can't even read Hindi! This rumor isn't even mentioned n the Indian Press! According to Prabhu Perino, probably the world's foremost authority on the 'Jyotirmath succession controversy', the rumor that 'the cook did it' was first broadcast by the Prakashanad of Barsana Dham. You can read about this in the interview by Robert Kropinsky with the Swami Svarupanad, at the Karpatri birthday party at Brindaban (see my posts on Usenet). "There's no evidence that the Swami Brahmananda died of 'poisoning', if that were so, the attending physician would probably have said so..." Read more: Subject: The truth comes out!

This internet rumor is just made up by partisans like Vaj, Perino and the the Swami Prakashanand.) > among contemporaries, > Among contemporary Indian 'clerks'? You are not making any sense. >From what I've read, the Mahesh Yogi was one of the most accomplished 'secretaries' in all of India at the time, who attracted huge audiences who came to hear him speak. In fact, this rumor is relatively recent, and was started by Mr. Steve Perino on Usenet. This rumor is not even mentioned by Paul Mason or Vidyashankar Sundersan.

It was Mahesh Yogi that got the President of India to visit the Shankaracharya. And it was Mahesh that organized the entire Jyotirmath Trust. And apparently the Mahesh Yogi even used to substitute for the Swami Brahmananda on speaking tours. In fact, the Mahesh Yogi was held in very high esteem all over India.
