"Lord of the Universe"?
Where do you get this crap, Samo? Sri Harold has *never* said that he is
Lord of anything except his own Self.
The Mahanta (which is what he **does** claim to be) is a state of
consciousness which is attainable by all beings. By definition, it is the
"highest" consciousness available to us humans. It is our birthright, when
we are ready to claim it.
Remember, Soul is Always.
