The mystic mystery!

Of late, the number of God men originating from one state has increased dramatically, from almost none to a count that is getting larger by the day. The number of remarkable discoveries of 'god men' living in the state of Kerala has increased ever since an expose of sorts was carried out against one of the alleged 'god men', who was then found to be guilty of both fraud and criminal acts against minors.

These god men have been in the news, albeit for the wrong reasons, with most of them being guilty of crimes ranging from fraud, embezzlement, rape and even murder. It is sad to see that there are many gullible people who get taken in by such misfits, time and time again.

It seems that 'god man' is indeed a lucrative career for many aspirants, for nearly most of them get away with their crimes as the people are too scared to report them. These god men use the religious beliefs of such people to their own advantage, take for example the latest god man to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Madhavan, a self declared ascetic, or that is what one thought of him, was proven to be anything but that. For besides indulging in all that a god man should not indulge in, from the pleasures of the flesh to that of alcohol, Madhavan saw it fit to defraud some honest people of their hard earned cash as well.

Madhavan's case should serve as a wake up case for the people all over the world, for such heinous crimes continues to be committed, not just in India but at almost all the places in the world. It is a much better thing to believe in god than in a god man, for man is not perfection!
