... another freak in saffron robes, attempting to lead us into nirvana. India has produced a lot of intellectuals, but the profusion of these religious heads boggles my mind.
This new guy is called "Paramahamsa Nithyananda", and is a new "Swamiji". Run away as fast as you can. One of the people endorsing, nay inspiring him is a "Mataji Kuppammal", a "deeply pious lady". Oh my god. One unknown saviour endorsed by another unknown saviour. I won't even post the URL here. Where do these guys get their inspiration from? What makes them think that they can take people for a ride ? Because a lot of people among us allow ourselves to be led astray by these "Gurus" of philosophy. Arise, awake.
There are too many of these "Swamijis" and their weird "philosophies". Foremost among these quacks stands that much-followed, and much-maligned Puttaparthi Sai Baba, he of the "afro" fame, who produces "lingams" from his mouth and ash from his hands (using stuff stored away in his armpits). Politicians stand in line to meet him, and one erstwhile President of India, prostrated himself at this man's feet. Shameful! I know of plenty of people who get phone calls from the "Swami" himself, helping them in life's decisions! A Swamiji who sends "godly" messages through the phone! Who would have thunk it? And I know people who use these messages as messages from God himself!
Puttaparthi Sai Baba, Premananda, Sivashankara Baba, Yagava Munivar, the list is endless. The latter two even fought on TV over who was the real incarnation of "Kalki".
I am sick of these people and pity these gullible individuals who follow them and allow themselves to be bilked, or worse, physically and mentally abused.
