What was Mahesh doing down in Calcutta with the Guru instead of performing clerk duties at the Jyotirmath Ashram up in the Himalayas? And how could a mere clerk get ahold of the body of a saint and take it on a train? And for what purpose would the Mahesh send the body to Kashi instead of to the Jyotirmath? And how could the ashram cook get up on the Gaddi in front of all those people anyway? Then Mahesh put the upright-sitting body in a concrete trunk and sank it in the Ganges River in front of a large group of people.Īnd you're saying that after that, the Mahesh took the Guru's sandals, his high chair, his umbrella, and other official accoutrements, including all the land and buildings at Jyotirmath and gave them to Shantanand, who he then installed on the Gaddi at Jyotirmath.Īnd this was all accomplished by a mere clerk from a family of scribes. So, Paul, you're saying that Mahesh was in Calcutta with the Shankaracharya, Swami Brahmanand Saraswati, when the Guru sat up in bed with his legs crossed and took his last breath.Īnd, you're saying that after the Swami expired, Mahesh took the body and put it on a train and sent it to Kashi.

His lifeless body was taken by train back to Kashi. Another saved run of comments, this time including Pundit's question for Paul Mason.
