AHAM BRAHMASMI vs GOD MEN DILEMMA




Starting from the sai babas, the sankaracharyas, the sri sri ravi sankars, the mata amruthanandamayees, the dilemma or influence that such spiritual gurus have in our soceity is substantial, economically and socially. These people who happen to be human are worshipped as god. One thing is that, it puts a full stop even though a temporary full stop to humans concept of god or that even god is a concept, so human cannot worship any other thing other than himself as god.It may be the evolution of hinduism post modern era from veda to vedanta to idol worship to bhakti revolution to god man. The ocean of followers that these people have may be due to well planned and tried marketing techniques in addition to these gurus influence.I don’t see anything different in them, they are not even leaders! I don’t bother about such personas because they need not be. They don’t create any influence on me or havent created.They have no histories behind them, no stories of fighting against poverty or untouchability which are the problems plauging human soceity, they seem to behave out of worldly.like the Hindu gods in the puranas as Krishna, Rama,Siva, they have not fought any wars with ravans or rakshasas, not got any heroics, any skills, they are not at all impressive.Let them not misguide the soceity!
