Hare Krishna guru Narayan Maharaj has filed suit against the estate of his arch-rival, the late Sridhar Maharaj. The suit maintains that Sridhar deliberately and willfully stole the content of recent lectures by Narayan several years ago prior to his death. It states that even though Sridhar's lectures predated Narayan's chronologically, it was because Sridhar via his mystical powers (known as siddhis in the Sanskrit language) could foresee what Narayan was going to say in the future and then proceeded to steal his ideas and words verbatim.
Sridhar's followers are outraged at the allegations and plan to file a countersuit in a few days. Narayan Maharaj is nonplussed, however. He told reporters this afternoon, "I know I will be victorious in the end and my case will be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. After all it is I that have been endowed with the shakti of my guru, who was a ray of Vishnu." Vishnu is the maintainer god from the Hindu trinity (Brahma is the creator and Shiva is the destroyer). "That imposter just wanted to pass himself off as the genuine article, but that was just form imitating substance." he added with a jeering sneer and an arch of his eyebrow.
