Indian guru tries to kill man with tantric ritual live on TV:
It could be India’s version of “Survivor,” or “The Biggest Loser.”A famous Indian guru used his television show to boast about his power to kill other men using only a mystic ritual.
So the head on the Indian Rationalist Association offered himself up as a sacrificial lamb.
Sanal Edamaruku volunteered himself for the ritual because he wanted to expose the guru as one of many spiritual con men roaming the country.
While millions tuned in to watch the scheduled murder live on TV, the station canceled the program.
The showdown quickly appeared on YouTube. The guru, Pandit Surender Sharma, is seen chanting mantras and massaging Edamaruku’s forehead.
The willing participant is in good spirits and simply laughs it off. After the show, Edamaruku was still alive.
Hat tip to Jonathan!
