What I have heard is that MMY was in charge of SBS's lecture schedule when SBS was struck with food poisoning while on tour. The attending disciples were of two opposing camps: keep him in one place so he could recover, or assume he would recover on his way to his next lecture. MMY's camp prevailed and SBS died on his way to his next lecture. Thereafter, the opposing camp blamed MMY for SBS's death, and the fact that he died of food poisoning eventually morphed into the story: "MMY poisoned SBS." I've often suspected that MMY himself blamed himself for SBS's death, which is why MMY was so obsessive about the whole Jai Gurudev thing. He felt, consciously or unconsciously, that he had a lot to atone for by depriving the world of SBS' presence. Lawson
