M M Y - 'From the age of nine until the age of seventy-one, when he became 
Shankaracharya, life was mostly in deep silence, seclusion. 
It's very, it's very interesting. 
If I was not caught up in this whirlpool I would have been writing life 
account of Guru Dev and would have been exposing the whole wisdom of 
the Vedas in that one narration of his life.' 22

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi made the statement on 8th July 1971 in Amherst,
