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!
