Well... I was just about to write a blog on the rotten eggs in Catholic church... but with the latest developments in my state where more than two "Swamiji's" have been arrested for various charges ranging from cheating, fraud, molesting minor girls, adultery, making porn videos .... you name it. Its not the above charges which pisses me off here, its the mask he wore - of that of a social worker and the divine stature. He was considered as one of the "Chosen one" or say "The Godman" by many of his disciples. Only now most of them realize that the person they worshipped for sometime now is nothing but a hardcore criminal :)
I believe, with these arrests the Kerala police have just uncovered the tip of the iceberg where in many of such "holinesses" is still at large. The power such people posses - not the divine by the money power - is so humongous that even the top official don't dare to interfere in their businesses many a times - that too even when they know what happens backstage is illegal. So many of such GOD's are still looting/taking advantage of the common man. I wouldn't dare to name many of them, they are world renown and their reach is far more than one might imagine.
But who makes these GOD's - I would say we the common man always likes to see miracles happen... or lets say we just love the mystery part of it. And many a times people approach such people to get things done - let it be a broken relationship, financial problems ... people just take it for granted that these people have the answer for all these problems. Only if WE stand up and do things which we are supposed to do - if we got a problem - try to solve it yourself than just seeking for shortcuts - we can keep such people away.
But alas .... To err is Human :)
