But I had heard rumours for more than ten years before about kanchi and other mathas, about how they were only interested in power and money, and women! Of course I disbelieved it all, but it kept repeating everywhere I went. They told me, "dont bother with them, they are doing pujas, eating like gluttons and putting on weight and warming the peedas only. They are not meditating or striving in tapas or interested in teaching the religion of propagating".

What a way to pass on your biased comments in the name of "rumors" ?? I am sure you would have picked up those "rumors"
from worthy magazines like Nackeeran...

And then you would have defintely not heard of "rumors" that Sri Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal (a diabetic patient) didn't even take a sip of water, till he completed the "Dhanurmasa puja" late in the night on the day he was released on bail or the "rumors" about the way the junior acharya lived in prison (a report of which appeared on the the hindu as well) or the "rumors" that the Senior Acharya was living on nothing but rice flakes ("aval pori" in tamil) mixed with a little buttermilk.

Pathma, I request to have more intellectual honesty and introspection, before posting something about a 70+ year old person or persons of his stature.

This will be my only post on this thread.

Thanks and Regards
