Self-styled Godmen of India


Once again everyone in India is talking about fake yogis or godmen, pretending to be saints. Though all these godmen externally profess about spirituality, health and social service, some of them have made it into headlines due to financial misdeeds, sexual abuse etc. Generally people presume that these godmen and women are completely above their basic instincts and blindly adore and worship them. 

Despite charges of rape and criminal intimidation swami Nityananda enjoys the support of his followers in forty countries, including politicians and celebrities. Similarly Asaram Bapu is facing the allegation of land grabbing and sexual abuse, yet his clout has not diminished among his followers.

In the past few years India has witnessed allegations against many godmen like Chandra swami, Tunnu Baba, Swami Bhimanandaji, Maharaj Chitrakoot Wale, Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Sing etc. This problem is not confined to India or Hinduism alone. Allegations of child molestation by Roman Catholic church is repeatedly surfacing over the years. The godmen roll in luxuries and easily manipulate gullible people and exploit them.

All saints are not fake. There are genuine personalities who have dedicated their lives for serving suffering humanity and guiding them to right path. Selecting a right spiritual guide is important. Hence one should pursue the spiritual path cautiously. We should not consider a person as saint just because he is knowledgeable and deliveries a good speech on spiritual subject. Rather we should see his conduct. True godman will never crave for luxuries, rather lead a simple life.

When people feel that they have been betrayed, they will start doubting even genuine persons who are serving the society selflessly with all the purity of their mind. Sometimes it forces people even to doubt the spirituality and existence of God. Hence these bogus Godmen should be dealt strictly by society. Dedicated monks must follow conduct rules laid down for physical, psychic and spiritual growth, in order to maintain all round self restraint. Dr P Govardhan.
