The magician steps out.

I am glad that one National Fraud has mortally come to his end. I hope more stories of fake cheap miracles won’t spread the news about him anymore. It was only earlier this week that I read about scent and perfume oozing out of his statue when he was hospitalized. His godliness is a highly networked one which is beyond our imagination. Whatever be the logic of the network it is definitely a profitable business. Be it for the witnesses who sees gold and silver balls spitted out or for the owners of status where ashes and perfumes ooze out. Like it is said ‘Pothujanam kazhutha’ there will be hundreds and thousands of people who want to take a look at the ‘Miracle’.

He is one of the ‘sages’ who transformed the classical image of simplicity, spirituality and sacrifice of sanyasam to luxury, power and authority .
He has for sure a long string of national and international celebrities as followers. Some of them even move in a collaboration using the sentiments of ‘Ashramam’ as a tool to convert their millions of black to white currency. Well the Indian law does not give any tax regulations to ‘Spiritual organizations’ and as per the law even the multi millionaire swamys are classified along with beggars.
Tax and other legal formalities are always the ‘privileges’ of common men who should strictly abide and live by them.



Now the master of such a black world is mortally no more. All his proclaimed powers of divinity hasn’t helped him ease his sufferings at his death bed and he has left the phase of earth inspite of all efforts of his followers to bring him back.
Well , I am not trying to mock mortality here. The exploitation in his name will follow and after 1000 years there might even be a religion after his name.
But all that matters is where that soul of him that escaped his thin fragile old body has gone to… With no media flashes and spectators around , with no gold and silver balls hidden in his throat to spit any more , with no one to fool and nothing to fake i am glad the soul escaped from his identity for ever.
