On Saturday an additional case of an Indian Godman came into light who is arrested for allegedly raping a 21-year-old girl. The Godman is popular as Kaushlendra Falahari Baba and is of 60-year-old. Another Godman who has made us question -Is following such Gurus blindly not a breach of faith in a higher power?
A zero FIR was lodged by the family of the victim at Bilaspur police station in Chhattisgarh against Falahari Baba. The investigation was later handed over to Aravali Vihar Police Station in Alwar where the alleged rape was enacted. The victim has stated that on 7th August, she visited Divya Dham, the ashram of Falahari Baba to offer her first salary from the internship to the Godman. He asked her to stay in the ashram, the victim agreed to it. Around 7 pm in the evening, the Godman invited her into his room and raped her. After the incident, he threatened the victim for not speaking about it to anyone. He told her that many influential people such as politicians and top police officers are his followers.

The Godman was in a government hospital for a medical check-up when the cops arrested him after confirming with the doctors that the Godman is medically fit and could be discharged.
During the investigation, Falahari Baba admitted that the victim was at his Ashram on the day when the alleged crime has happened. He has also made shocking revelations about him stating that he is IMPOTENT. He has told the police that he has been consuming several natural drugs such as ‘jadi butti’ and some kind of juice made of the banana tree to diminish all his sexual desires. However, the claims have not been proven to be true and the investigation on the case is still going on.

Can you believe it?
It was just a few weeks ago when the Dera Guru Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was convicted of repeatedly raping two women followers at his ashram and jailed for 20 years. He has multi-million followers who actually created a huge ruckus during the period of his trial. Soon after he was jailed another horrific truth punched the clock. The husband of Honeypreet (Ram Rahim Singh’s adopted daughter) claimed that the dera guru had an illicit relationship with his wife.

Popularly known as Ichchadhari Sant Swami Bhimanand Maharaj Chitrakoot Wale among his followers. This Delhi-based godman surpassed all the religious ordinances as he was arrested for allegedly running a prostitution racket from his ashram. Six women including two air hostesses and aspiring Bollywood models were arrested with him.
The list goes on and on and we continue to dig the past, the history will appear as shameful as one can think. What makes these Godman influence millions of people? The answer is simple – The Blind Faith And The Fear Of Higher Power.
It enables these gurus to consume our belief and mold it according to their desire. But we tend to forget that we are compromising the pride, respect, and credence on a power which connects the dot of the universe and appears as miraculous as it can get.
Do we really need these Godmen to lead a spiritual path just because all of us have become so naive that we focus on nothing but our problems and constantly want a solution which can put us out of our miseries? And that too on the cost of satisfying their lust, human lives and strengthening their bank balance.
It’s high time we start believing that we don’t need a godman to establish our connection with the supreme power because what they are doing is nothing like a holy conduct.
