We have a new spiritual guru and guide on the block: Baba Bageshwar Dham. He is like any other babas: he claims he can heal people and gives them strange, quick solutions to people’s problems He is even known to read people’s minds and offer them a way out of their miseries without the people even telling him anything. One organization from Maharashtra decided to challenge this. They asked the baba to perform the miracle of mind reading on 10 people of their choice. What the Baba did was pretty predictable. He cut short his visit to Maharashtra and ran away He was also in news for not allowing a person from a lower caste to touch his feet But despite such problematic streaks, the baba is still very popular among the people. The same could be seen in the cases of earlier babas like Ram Rahim and Asaram Bapu So, why is it that Indians regularly flock to these babas- and they don’t seem to care about their wrongdoings? This is what we talk about in this video. We also touch upon why such blind belief is problematic and what we could do to address this problem. ****** 📃Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HLlOdROAtJ-aY_rEGIZRXFO36VCfe1UtIS9h5H1L6Tk/edit?usp=sharing 📚📖Top five book recommendations: https://amzn.to/3QH0MRB https://amzn.to/3ISyKjX https://amzn.to/3Xj3hvO https://amzn.to/3Xf4Smt https://amzn.to/3WjLGT4 📸💡Filming gear: https://amzn.to/3ZDE295 https://amzn.to/3ZD5Me2 https://amzn.to/3H9Siza https://amzn.to/3iIN1oU https://amzn.to/3XB4zCc https://amzn.to/3XBUOU8 https://amzn.to/3QKvNUv ****** 🔍✍️Research: Zaira Khan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zaira-khan-7435a9189 ✂️🎛️Editing: Yash Vyas:https://www.instagram.com/yashvyas24/ Channel Manager : Ajeesh Babu: https://www.instagram.com/ajeesh_babu/ 🎨Thumbnail : Aanchal verma: https://www.instagram.com/aanchal_creates/ Want to work with us?
