5 July 2017 India
An Indian court has granted permission for the followers of a long-dead spiritual guru to preserve his body in a freezer.
Ashutosh Maharaj, founder of the sect Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan (Divine Light Awakening Mission), died of a suspected heart attack in January 2014.
But his followers insist he is only meditating deeply, and will one day return to life.
They have kept his body in a commercial freezer at his vast ashram in Punjab.

(4,490 posts)Why an eletist snob needs to go out of their way to try and ruin someone's fun on the internet, I have no idea. It's kind of pathetic.

Full disclosure: I was brought here by the jury trial.

(9,116 posts)Do you think, perhaps, critics of religion might view the motives of a person repeatedly indulging in this flavor with some suspicion?
