God regenerated

In a recent action the police force of one of our states rounded up small time god men and put them behind bars after sealing off all their ‘Ashram’s and other possessions. The god men arrested claimed close intimacy with politicians and other dignitaries in their locality. This appears to be true from the photographic evidences and other material evidence coming out in the “investigations”. All of them ran “Charitable” organizations and were “helping” the needy (young moneyless girls mostly!). One carried a licensed gun with him while being taken to the police station and being depressed that he was accused “unjustly” of crimes he has not committed by the press, wanted to shoot himself and in a scuffle managed to shoot his own ear off.
I have always wondered how such as these gain popularity in the space of a few years and amass wealth seemingly out of nowhere. It is sheer magic from the point of view of the observers. As every one knows there is no trick to produce wealth out of thin air. All who have done it have dipped their hands in blood.
But this can be done easily in these times provided you have the right equipment and the right connections. Spreading the word by mouth and a bit of advertising goes a long way in establishing your godlike powers in the minds of the ignorant in the locality. Some blackmailing is probably involved too to get the support of the big shots in the area. Selling god is a big time business in India at this time. Most of the people are stressed out by life and would easily succumb to the guile of charlatans rather than the real thing. They are more convincing than the real seekers of truth too.
The arrest and the publicity brought other harmless god men under scrutiny. These are either schizophrenics of long standing or are deluded individuals. They seem to be not after money and in some cases not even popularity. These are mostly left alone by the police. The Indian mind is extremely gullible. As I mentioned in a previous article, it is conditioned by long years of servitude and a dangerous openness to accept any belief newly introduced in to it.
A channel did a feature on some of them and it was interesting to watch. One of them would qualify as a real psychotic by any standards. He has not washed for some twenty years his worshippers say. He does not eat for days and when he does so, consumes stale and rotting food which he keeps near him at all times. The “Bagavan” as he is called by his followers does not smell at all by the lack of bath and the presence of garbage near him. He is also reported to have healing powers too. He sits in a corner of an unhealthy and tumbled down building and does not move or look people in the face at all. He is physically healthy by all appearances.
Another calls himself “Thanthiruvatikal” meaning “I am Lord God”. He was hilarious. He does not like to wear any clothing and moves around among people with only a tiny piece of cloth to just barely cover his loins as a compromise. Asked why he does not wear anything, he has a reply ready. “ You are asking me why I am not covering my organ, but everything that you see around in the world are my organs too, can you cover them all?” He has god realization you see! He is one with the world! He drives a car without a license and frequently drives into the nearby town. Not a single police man has yet dared to stop him and ask for his license. They are probably afraid that it would cause an “organic” reaction among people if the “God” steps out of the vehicle.
Well it is in this background that Blue Beam Project assumes significance. It makes use of holographic imaging technology. According to some this has already been tested. The aim is to project holographic images of Christ, Buddha, Krishna and the like through satellites to all parts of the world. These images would talk to people on the “misunderstood” notions of religion. The god is one and the different manifestations were adopted to instruct people at different points of time. All are asked to believe in the one god theory from then on. The chaos resulting from such an exercise could be imagined. Beaming god’s voices into the skull to convert people to this new faith is also said to be planned.
This is not going to be an easy task, with several established systems of belief standing to loose everything in such an event. But the technology exists and it might also be used to disorient people all over the world if not used to create a one god scenario.
