%:%:%: The Proto Jai Maharaj Periodic %:%:%: %:%:%: Informational Posting %:%:%: 1. Who is Jai Maharaj? Jai Maharaj is the 'Voice of Mantra Corporation'. Though it is seen as just one poster posting all the stuff on Usenet, it is widely suspected that Jai is not the only contributor. 2. What newsgroups are home to Jai Maharaj? You're kidding. Any newsgroup on Usenet, forums on Compuserve, practically anything anywhere anytime is home to Jai Maharaj. Just post on any of the following groups on Noosenet and Jai is very eager always to share his wisdom with any group. Jai's wisdom is presently available on the following groups: alt.astrology sci.med.nutrition rec.food.veg soc.culture.indian alt.culture.hawaii (he says "Come over to alt.culture.hawaii" but he never posts there) The Usenet graph of Jai Maharaj in a brand of vedic astrology : ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | A.A | A.A | A.A | A.A | | | | | | ----------------------------------------- | | | | | S.M.N | | A.C.H | | | | | ----------- Jai Maharaj ---------- | | 03/19/94 A.D. | | | R.F.V | 13:40:56 GMT | T.P.A | | | | | ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | S.C.I | S.C.I | S.C.I | R.F.V | | | | | | ----------------------------------------- 3. What do you need to do to get in the good books of Jai Maharaj? Well, say that Vedic astrology is good. Don't ever be a animal killer/eater. Also see Q. 4. Also ask Virendra on alt.astrology. 4. What do you need to do to get in the bad books of Jai Maharaj? Just flame him on Usenet for 5 days. It helps if you are quite "popular" or "widely known" on a newsgroup. Else you aren't worth Jai Maharaj's time. Say that Vedic Astrology is a fake. Or that Mantra Corporation is misusing Internet/Usenet by advertizing using the 4-line .sig. 5. What is common between Jai Maharaj and John Palmer? Both have claim to being one of the most "popular" persons on Usenet. Jai has accused lots of people with "LIBEL". JP has slapped virtual lawyers on many. 6. What is different between Jai Maharaj and John Palmer? John has his own machine and his own domain. Jai gets on to U. of Hawaii and accesses Freenets from there. John has a knowledge of sendsys while Jai doesn't. Jai is quite known to accuse people of sending mail bombs when there wasn't any sent. But Jai is working hard to be a JP. 7. What is the mark of a Jai Maharaj posting? It always starts with a -=Namaste=- and ends with a -=Om Shanti=-. oops.. sorry. Always ends with the 4 line .sig. He posts usually from his accounts as: ad656@freenet.carleton.ca ?@freenet.victoria.bc.ca cy717@cleveland.freenet.edu Your tax dollars at work! Till date, he has never been seen from a commercial account. Once in a while, mantra corporation (which has the same mcimail number apparently as jaimaharaj@mcimail.com) uses the UTexas gateway to pass out its distilled wisdom. 8. What do I do if I don't want to see Jai's postings at all? There is a wonderful mechanism on bulletin board systems called "Killfile". Use it. If you are annoyed, you can send mail to postmaster@ where node is the freenet he is using. Also you can send a nice 'thank you' note for every posting he does. He appreciates it very much. 9. Why this FAQ? There are countless people on Usenet who still don't know Jai Maharaj and this humble effort on my part will probably enable people from far and wide to get to know the personality of Jai. btw, there is also a alt.fan.jai-maharaj (the newgroup was sent by Sinead if I am not mistaken). Please spread the Jai Maharaj message for the good of the world. Contributions to the FAQ most welcome. If anyone wants to take over the FAQ, you are most welcome to. Please post everything on the newsgroup. Every effort has been made to present facts. Corrections welcome on that count from anyone, be it from Jai Maharaj or John Palmer. Jai anon.penet.fi.
