It Must be the Custom

A Tweet from @obitsman leads us to a BBC News story from India about the dead guru who was recently put in a freezer on his demise by his followers because they believe he will return to life to lead them. They are confident he was merely in a state of deep meditation.

"He is not dead. Medical science does not understand things like yogic science. We will wait and watch. We are confident that he will come back," his spokesman Swami Vishalanand told the BBC.

Ashutosh Maharaj led the Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (Divine Light Awakening Mission) which claims more than 30 million followers.

This is significant, because it allows his followers to see the light come on as they open the freezer lid to make sure meditation is still taking place.
