Who is this "Dr. Jai Maharaj".........
Briefly, his legal name appears to be Jay Stevens (e.g., this name appears
in the articles of incorporation for his "Mantra Corporation"). He used to
post under that name in other electronic forums, but when he discovered the
internet, he decided to use a more Indian-sounding name, and began calling
himself "Jai Maharaj." Lately, this name has evolved into "Dr. Jai Maharaj."
In 1990, he was claiming that his birth name was Jai Mathura. He has many
internet accounts, and he sometimes edits the headers of postings to obscure
their origin and author. He is believed to create alternate personas and
post under additional aliases to give the impression that he has supporters.
Such personas are often recognised by their tendency to use the term "Swami"
for him.
He has a "library" of articles that he posts, re-posts, and re-posts again,
ad nauseam; this accounts for his ubiquity on the net. Each posting contains
a .sig file that advertises his vedic astrology business, so the large
volume of his postings appears to be part of a marketing scheme. (The
official purpose of Mantra Corporation is listed as "business consulting,
marketing, advertising and related services." Despite anything he might say,
this company is *not* a non-profit organisation.) Netters have dubbed him
"Jai Mirage" because they think he is a fake -- a con man. Don't be taken
in. And please, please, please don't respond to his postings; he generates
enough net "noise" as it is. Just put his most usual alias (Jai Maharaj)
and/or all of his net addresses in your kill file for this newsgroup (see
the Jai Maharaj FAQ for a list of these addresses). See # 22 for
instructions about editing a kill file. For the curious, he once claimed
that his birth data are October 7, 1946, 9:15 am (-5:30 h), New Delhi,
India, 77E12, 28N36. Oh, and by the way, he is in the habit of posting a
slightly edited version of this FAQ, changing this answer into an
advertisement for himself, inserting a diatribe against western astrology at
the beginning of the file, and putting his most common alias (Jai Maharaj)
at the head of the list of contributors to the FAQ! There are two terms for
this activity: plagiarism, and copyright violation. (The latter is one of
his favourite activities; he often posts large excerpts from books without
the authors' permission, and sometimes without giving the authors credit.
