India is a country that is both blessed and cursed by spirituality. It is one thing to believe in spiritual powers, and it is unfortunate to be robbed by so-called babas in the name of it. What is the reason? Is it illiteracy? Probably not! I have seen highly educated scholars squandering their entire life’s fortunes on spiritual scammers masquerading as messengers of God. Humans who claim to have psychic powers or masquerade as incarnations of God are actually good at something: lying and deceiving others. And we Indians are notorious for believing everything they say.
This stigma surrounding babas also causes parents to disown their children, who are labelled as abnormal and subjected to horrific treatments and techniques.Ironically, India is known as the land of spiritualism, yet it is filled with non-spiritual babas who have been accused and convicted of crimes.
So why do these false gods have so much power in the first place? Who gave them the right to deceive, trick and take advantage of people to this extent? The answer is our blind faith in spirituality. There is a fine line between believing and blind faith, and it often gets blurred for some people. Some con artists take advantage of this. They deceive certain people by pretending to have God-given powers, or to be messengers of God, or even to be the incarnation of God.

Shri Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj
If you don’t know who this person is, you must be living in a bubble. Sri Anirudhcharya is a religious guru who teaches his followers on various religious and spiritual topics. But that’s not all he’s become famous for. Anirudhcharya has been dominating our Instagram reels section for a while now, but for all the wrong reasons. Behind all the memes made about him, what people are missing is how stupid he is making society. The crap he talks about and the way he behaves is far from how a “Baba” should behave.
When his followers came to him with strange issues, a Reddit user revealed that it was just his guru’s publicity. “Clearly, all of his guru’s publicity is staged… I saw a meme where this guy is driving a Rs 10 million car, but in another part he is preaching about the lack of wealth accumulation. Hilarious,” commented one user.

In another ridiculous video, Baba claims that women who don’t listen to their husbands or mothers-in-law or don’t do housework are third-class women. He further states that wives who disobey their husbands are pure Chinese models. You know what’s even crazier? The women who sat in his santan happily agreed to everything he said.
Here’s the full video:
Ministry of Bajinder Singh
A Christian religious leader who claims to use oil to cure HIV and cast out demons. His videos have spawned many hilarious memes, including “Yasyas.” Watch the video here:
“Sad that so many people are falling for this stupidity,” one user commented. “What a clown 😂,” another added. “The bigger question is what does this say about the people who are convinced by this and start following the prophet!” a third said.
Baba convicted of crime
Did you know that those who wear the mask of spiritualism are not just con artists? There are fake priests who have been convicted of heinous crimes like murder, rape, scandal etc. Some of the famous names are Gurmeet Ram Rahim, Asaram Bapu, Rampal, Radhe Maa, Kripal Maharaj etc.

This does not indicate that all spiritual leaders are fake, but it does raise doubts about the legitimacy of the powers claimed by most of the self-proclaimed godmen. All we need is to remove the veil of “spirituality” and with the support of the masses they have become highly regarded to save India from the self-proclaimed godmen.
