"He is not dead. Medical science does not understand things like yogic science. We will wait and watch. We are confident that he will come back," his spokesman Swami Vishalanand said. He said that although doctors had declared Maharaj "clinically dead", he was actually alive and in a state of samadhi, which is the highest plane of meditation. The guru is thought to have been in his seventies.
Swami Vishalanand said the guru had "often indicated that he would not be with for us a long time, and we would have to manage the organisation in his absence". He said after the doctors declared him dead, his devotees watched over the body for a week at the centre in Punjab's Jalandhar city. "The body did not decompose before we put it in the freezer. It was a spiritual experience. We thought of embalming it, but somebody told us that his chances of revival were less if we did it," Swami Vishalanand said. "He has assured us that he will come back," another devotee, Lakhwinder Singh, said.
The decision to place the body in the freezer was challenged in court by a man, claiming to be a former driver of the guru, who alleged that his devotees were not releasing the body because they wanted a share of the guru's properties. "The court rejected his pleas after the Punjab government said that the man is clinically dead and that it is up to his followers to decide what they want to do with the body," Punjab legal official Reeta Kohli said. Senior police official Gurinder Singh Dhillon said police "cannot interfere" now that the court had made its ruling.

One day, I shall come back.
Yes, I shall come back.
Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.
I'll take an ounce of whatever your smoking
"He's dead, Jim," said Dr. McCoy.
he's just pining for the fjords
The worrying thing is why so many people need someone to lead them.
Guess they were not born with a full size brain.
