World Meditation Conference at Maha Pyaramid in Kadthal of Mahabubnagar district has entered the news for all wrong reasons. Named as meditation conference, the activities going on here were reported to be sleazy. Several vernacular news channels, in fact, telecast the same on Tuesday. The organizer and founder of spiritual society movement, Subhash Pathri (65 years old) is the person in the news. The news channels reported that this person was doing nothing but confining women (his devotees) between four walls and indulging in indecent acts.

The visuals that were telecast on news channels even showed the way Subash Pathri was hugging women and touching them in wrong places. Following this incident, the collector of Mahabubnagar district, Girija Shankar asked the police to look into the allegations. In fact, the World Meditation Conference was held at Kadthal area between December 21 and December 31 wherein scores of VIP s including bureaucrats and ministers (both state and centre) took part.

A vernacular news channel tried to cover the allegations of Maha Pyramid today too and for attempting the same, the alleged followers of Subhash Pathri had set an OB (DSNG) van on fire and reportedly attacked the media persons. God is present in every person. Therefore, serving mankind itself is like serving God, when people especially VIP s get to know this mantra of God then no babas would hog the limelight and attention.

Anyway, Subhash Pathri is brought into news, what about Kalki, the man who has been proclaiming himself as the avatar of Lord Vishnu? Kalki Bhagwan was born as Vijay Kumar in Arcot district of Tamil Nadu. In the early 80s, Vijay Kumar worked as an accountant at the Life Insurance Corporation and then gave up his job to become a school administrator.

According to Hindu scriptures, Kalki is the last reincarnation of Lord Vishnu who holds a sword and comes on a white horse to protect the good and punish the evil. While many followers objected the self proclaimed Kalki Bhagwan and his wife Amma Bhagwan, some people were reported to have fallen in the trap of these so called divine beings who stay at Golden City near Chennai. It was Tehelka which first threw light on the irregularities done by the trust run by Kalki followed by India TV. Let us hope that some collector will also order a probe on Kalki Bhagwan.
