the baba industry

Ma second blog comes after 6 months! Phew! Long time .this is my platform where I express myself so let me take on the babas of India .I am writing this now that I have felt people have placed so called “religion” over themselves. Now I really feel about 90% of the world doesn’t think, they’ll never do that, particularly when you have these babas doing the thinking work for you.
India poised to become one of the biggest economies of the world growing at 10%+ ,I am sure the baba industry is doing 10 times better ,future sees India not as software outsourcing but a baba outsourcing hub. And the service this industry provides- the path to God !!
In this blog I analyze how different babas provide different consultancies for this job
In India we have had all kinda gurus from yoga guru Baba ramdev to common mans guru Ram Rahim (sacha sauda fame) to the refreshingly commercialized sri*2 Ravi Shankar (art of living fame) to the spiritexual OSHO(bhagwan sri Rajneesh) and finally internationally famed maharishi Mahesh yogi who practices transcendental medicine technique.
After media made him a household name for his yoga techniques, he now tells you how to run a business ,advices dhoni to play, and what not ,and and and don’t accuse him of doing that ,he’s a celebrity now! And yes he also claims to cure AIDS, dunno what the screwd up scientists are doing in the shitty labs , this man has cured AIDS!!!!! He charges 2400 for his 2 day camp and yes this camp is not “commercialized”! At a time when millions of Indians are suffering from every health problem prevalent in the world this guy goes to UK and teaches yoga there, you know why? “the phoren wala baba” tag helps him increase his camp fees.
Guru Ram Rahim , dera sacha sauda has its share of followers in Punjab and Haryana; I am writing about him because my dadi and a lot many followers are from ma home town and that he acquired national fame after his spat with the Sikhs on the khalsa issue.
Incidentally ,once I had the fortune (mis)of listening to one of his lectures and you know he’s cool and calm and after 20 seconds of his previous statements’ pause says “bhagwan ek hai,oh saareyan di takdeer da malik hai”( god is one ,he’s the creator of everyone’s destiny) !!! Looks like his followers never had the moral science lectures I had in my KG’s.
And yes the famous sri square ravi Shankar, he runs the famous Art of living course now adopted by many in the Indian Universities. Another camp which is not “commercialized “now have raised their camp fee from 1500 to 2500. Looking at this kind of inflation, it seems attaining so called godliness (art of living) , is gonna be a more expensive stuff.
And then yes my favorite OSHO urff bhagwan sri Rajneesh. Popularly known as the sex guru he’s one such “learned” man running the famous meditation retreat at Pune, where he used to advice people to have sex, laugh, drop all superstitious, and free themselves from worldly matters .Recently I had the chance to listen to one of his audio files on the word “fuck”, and really impressed me .Has his share of controversies for having such open thoughts about sex and stuff and for driving a Rolce Royce every day, gifted by his devotees.
Baba Mahesh yogi resides in Finland now and is one with International repute.
The rule of economics says when one industry is flourishing , lot many competitors enter the market and hence the profits of subsequent firms starts to diminish. I guess this industry has and will continue to defy this rule.
Moral of the story (for my fellow BITSians):: unsatisfied with your boss and wanna be an entrepreneur? Be a baba and realize your potential .We BITSians are born smart, aren’t we?
