I did not read any of the other posts because whatever arguments people may put forward in support of Baba's claim to be divine is flawed. Baba's teachings have nothing new and are pratically useless in helping humans deal with their problems. His miracles even a cheap magician could replicate. So what makes him so successful ? He appeared on the scene in an era when the world was very different. So his cheap tricks impressed the masses. then. I think if the afro head had tried to make his debut now, he would have not had a chance. Today we have so many new godmen whose spiritual ideas are far more interesting. Anyway people need these godmen as they need to be shown the way. This way may take them anywhere and everywhere and finally we will all end up in the grave. So eventually even if all the Indian godmen are big frauds it wouldn't really matter. alakeshwar
