The family and followers of one of India's wealthiest Hindu spiritual leaders are fighting a legal battle over whether he is dead or simply in a deep state of meditation.
...Shri Ashutosh Maharaj, the founder of the Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan religious order with a property estate worth an estimated £100 million, died in January, according to his wife and son.
However, his disciples at his Ashram have refused to let the family take his body for cremation because they claim he is still alive.
According to his followers, based in the Punjab city of Jalandhar, he simply went into a deep Samadhi or meditation and they have frozen his body to preserve it for when he wakes from it.
His body is currently contained in a commercial freezer at their Ashram.

Google “mahasamadhi”. The vocabulary on this threat is uninformed and more than slightly sophomoric.

‘E’s not pinin’! ‘E’s passed on! This Guru is no more! He has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t put him in the freezer ‘e’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘His metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!!He’s snuffed it!..... THIS IS AN EX-Guru!
To: Candor7
Interesting. When they return from mahasamadhi, what do they say they’ve seen?

Does he smell really really Bad? I mean worse than he normally smelled walking around.This probably explains why they put him in the freezer.

Indian court asked to rule on whether Hindu guru dead or meditatingDuring the election of 2012, I asked this court for the same ruling on Mitt Romney. No answer yet. We also tried lighting a fire under him, but that Mormon underwear must be made of Nomex.
