After all this time one would think that I would be immune to it, but I
continue to be astounded at how gullible religious adherents can be.

???Guru of Bling??? collects testicles for God: An Indian spiritual leader
is accused of convincing up to 400 followers to remove their testicles,
claiming that by doing so the men would be able to speak directly to God.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, known as ???The Guru in Bling,??? is accused of
coercing hundreds of followers to undergo the procedure at a hospital
run by his spiritual organization.

India???s Central Bureau of Investigation has reportedly obtained
statements from victims, saying the castrations took place at a hospital
run by Ram Rahim???s organization.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports officers from India???s elite Central
Bureau of Investigation appear to have made a crucial breakthrough in
the long-running investigation into the alleged mass castrations, last
week gathering important testimony from victims and other witnesses as
they prepare charges of grievous bodily harm against Ram Rahim.
Previously a ???cone of silence??? has surrounded the accusations against
the wildly popular guru, who has around 50 million followers worldwide,
and is worth an estimated $50 million.
According to reports, most of the victims feared for their lives if they
dare spoke out against the figure revered by millions.
Ram Rahim Singh and his organization deny that they had anything to do
with the castrations, claiming:
This business of castration is not part of the doctrine ??? No such
practice can be attributed to either the guru or our organization.

This is not the first time the guru has been accused of wrongdoing. In
2002, he faced conspiracy charges over the murder of a journalist who
was investigating him, and there have also been allegations of sexual
abuse of female followers.
Adding to Rahim Singh???s cult of celebrity, the guru is currently
starring as the lead in a recently made Bollywood film titled ???MSG:
Messenger of God.??? In January, the film opened to a world-record
audience of over 150,000 at a public premiere in Gurgaon, a city just
outside Delhi. The film supposedly shows Ram Rahim breaking a tree trunk
with his bare hands and walking on air, among other miracles.
