The easiest way to earn
fabulous wealth in India today is religion.
There are quite a few godmen and ammas who have amassed more wealth than
the Ambanis and Adanis by selling gods to people.
What happened in Mathura
yesterday should open the eyes of both the people and the authorities. The followers of one Baba Jai Gurudev
illegally occupied 280 acres and used violence when the police tried to evict
them. The ‘religious’ people used swords,
knives, guns, grenades and even automatic weapons.

| Exemplary cooperation between a Baba and his Government |
The Baba who
died in 2012 (at the age of 116 as claimed by his followers) started off his
divine career making the fraudulent claim that he was Netaji Subhash Chandra
Bose. That was in 1975 when people were
not as willing as they apparently are today to be hoodwinked. The Baba’s fraud was greeted with a shower of
slippers, rotten eggs and tomatoes. But
Babas being some of the most ingenious people, they always find a way of
defrauding the people. Soon Baba Jai
Gurudev had land worth Rs4000 crore and cars worth Rs150 crore. He had palatial ashrams. According to an India
Today report, “his followers
make a donation of not less than Rs 12 lakh daily at his ashrams.”
Tell me, is
there an easier way to make wealth?
I think the
Indian government should encourage more and more people to become godmen and
ammas. The economy of the country, which
is already one of the leading economies in the world, will witness miraculous
booms under the divine leadership of god’s men and women.
I agree. God men or women are running parallel economy in the country in the name of religion.
ReplyDeleteEven in the ancient days religion was used as a political tool meant to harness power and wealth. In some ways, we are going back to the medieval period.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Murthy ji.
DeleteReligion and politics. These two are the biggest and most lucrative businesses in India. At the outset, they claim to exist to serve the masses, but at the end, they simply end up benefiting some conniving individuals.
ReplyDeleteThe real miracle is that people fail to understand it.
DeleteI too wonder how people fall for such people-it is disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI keep on advocating the use of reasoning and logical skills just because of this. Religion has blinded people, made them absolute idiots.
Deletefew elite people falls in the foot of Baba remaining will follow, the real culprits are these elite people either from politics or film industry or even some cases the bureaucrats.
ReplyDeleteTrue. The elite, as you call them, make use of the godmen for various earthly purposes. The rest are naive followers looking for earthly miracles.
