Like most things in life that can be judged upon, my views on this subject were set in childhood. I agree that most of the tricks that godmen perform can be performed better by magicians and the rest they are yet to pick up. It was interesting to read one guy's comment that Sai Baba should be commended for his philanthropic achievements. So does that follow I can rob one thousand people and save another thousand people and be called a messiah? He's not even a Robin Hood. Lots of poor people spend all their savings to see with their own eyes their "guru". Truth is, India has only unshackled its markets- not its minds.
