Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Dear Aavesh Sir, Namaskaar, I know about almost all established shishya of Swami Brahmananda, I must say, swami ji did a blunder in recognising his shishya, this forces me to think how a good guru fails in recognising his own shishyas, Brahmananda Ji's other shishyas are Swami Swaroopananda having 200+ KG weight, whose spirituality ends in flattery of congress leaders like Digvijay Singh, the former chief minister of MP, the other shishya who is also a Shankaracharya owning the JyotishPeetham in Badrinath, with ashrams (hermitages ) in several places in himalaya have raised a war against Swami Ramdev, he is envious of Swami Ramdev, why Ramdev is popular and nobody goes to him, These two shishyas (who has become today's Shankaracharya) are fighting several legal cases in the various high courts for the property of ashrams, still they make so many stories about their so called higher level of spirituality.. In 1996, I was doing my M.Sc (Maths) which i left, I came into contact with gurus of Mahrishi Mahesh Yogi's mission, One so called yogi told me about flying experience that one can get if do sadhana prescribed by them, I asked him, at first, I w'd like to see u flying in the air, he said, he can do it, I asked when he does it, he said in morning, when he does TM sadhana, he goes up in the air... I said, Ok, I will come to u sunday morning, Iwent but didnt find him doing any TM, I asked the servants of his ashram about his flying in the air, nobody had ever seen him flying in the air. This is the kind if spirituality mahesh yogi's shishyas have been spreading in the world, with the beautiful english they could make a certain amount of glamour, but beyond that there is only failure, no one can befool the God. When Mahesh Yogi realized his failure in Sadhana and in running his empire, he must have started saying his time is over, they had to say something like this ...... divinity is not majored by the face value of followers, beatles followed Mahesh Yogi or not, has no sense in the spiritual world, coz beatles has no recognition therein, just a group of dancers what else..... regards,Lalit.
