Her devotees report the event slightly differently, saying that MMY asked HER but she declined. BTW, people like to pretend that no-one ever acknowledged Maharishi's fellow monk, Swami Satananda Saraswati, as Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, ,but here is what her official website says [Note that Swami Satananda Saraswati is the only Shankaracharya ever identified by name, suggesting a desire to clarify who they are talking about]: http://www.anandamayi.org/ashram/cc.htm 1962, 9th June,Dehradun Swami Santanandaji. Shankaracharaya of Jyotir Math comes to Ma and delivers lecture. 1963, May, Calcutta Birthday celebration in Agarpara Ashram, Swami Santananda Shankaracharaya, Joshi Math also attends. They even have a link to a page about Andana Mayi and MMY under the heading "Meetings with Saints and Mahatmas: http://www.anandamayi.org/ashram/maheshyogi.htm L
