Swami Lakshmanju (1907–1991) was the last Acharya of the Kashmir Shaiva Siddhanta tradition. Written accounts of conversations with Swami Lakshmanju include the following comments about Maharishi:
"If you ask me, Maharishi's teaching starts where mine ends and it goes from there to Infinity." Then he added, "Maharishi is the greatest saint to walk the Earth in ten thousand years!"
Wiki:
At the age of three Lakshman played at making Siva-lingams out of clay for worship. At five he would sit down for meditation. His abnormal behaviour worried his parents, but Swami Ram said the boy was a great yogi in his past life and that his yoga would be consummated in this life. Lakshmanjoo's childhood was spent under the spiritual care of Swami Ram who taught him to repeat the Gayatri Mantra and conveyed the principles of Kashmir Shaivism. Before Swami Ram died he entrusted the seven-year-old Lakshman to the charge of his principle disciple, Swami Mehtab Kak, who taught the boy the oral tradition of Shiva Shastra.
