The Temple and Buddhist Viharas of India are very unique, in many south Indian temples one can find beautiful sculptures on the walls of the temples. In one of the South Indian temple there is image of a cat who is disguised as a monk performing yoga. Watching it a rat tries to imitate it and the next figure shows that the cat ended up eating the the rat. So we see that the problem of fake spiritual gurus existed in the past as well.
The carvings on the temple wall was intended as a warning to the people to beware of fake monks.
For centuries India was mired in in blind beliefs and superstitions, the ugly caste system of the country resulted in the higher castes blocking education of the people belonging to the lower castes. The lower castes were so exasperated by the unfair behaviour of the people of higher caste that they began to change their religion during the Muslim rule many of them became Muslims particularly in the states of Bengal and Punjab where castism was at its worst.(Remember this was a time when the Sikh religion was not even born)
Even today you find fake spiritual gurus everywhere these days they are using technology to reach out to people. There are television channels dedicated for this purpose. Some of these fake spiritual gurus are billionaires get donations worth a few hundred crores each year. Their so called ashrams are more posh than a 7 star hotel. Many of them in recent times have been caught in sex scandals like the ones in Swaminarayan Temple in Gujarat and ofcourse infamous case of Asharam Bapu and his son Narayan Sai , where the father son duo had sex with hundreds of ashram inmates more than one at a time.
This cheats and frauds are the greatest enemy of the nation who simply fool the people many of them uneducated in the name for religion. There is huge fraud business they are doing and they are also helped politically.
They also cry to create wedge between different religions and try to generate violence and riots among people of different religions. One has to guard against these frauds .
The original saints lived in frugal ashrams that were no more than huts. They did not touch money and lived on food given by the people. There are good and real spiritual gurus but they are far too few among every 10 spiritual gurus 9 are rank frauds and deserve to be behind bars.
This are the ones who are responsible for spreading superstitions and blind beliefs in the minds of people. The more superstitious people are the more they will run towards these frauds for spiritual blessings.
Beware of such fake gurus and be free from superstitions.
