My comments about sceptics behaviour were general comments. However they were prompted by your stating opinions as fact, as I did point out.
As far as prejudice is concerned, yes I do believe that you are prejudiced i.e. that you have already made up your mind on these matters before you came here (just as most of us have also made up our minds in favour of the opposite conclusions).
"No (and I mean no) objective medical basis has been provided to support the claim that the cause of death could not be heart failure (as was officially pronounced), stroke, or some other natural pathology."
What conceivable medical evidence could there possibly be? The fact is that Mahasamadhi is not recognised by medical science as a cause of death. We do not know what, if any, physical evidence is left when a yogi leaves his body for the last time.
