Have you heard of any saints of India recently?

Leave alone the Atheists who would not go with any research that comes with positive credit to any spiritual / metaphysical phenomena, see how even some pious religious people have criticised the Jain saint without any interest to know fully about him.

This world is full of people who are driven more by conceit and ignorance. They had not benefitted by the Budha or Jesus who set high standards in ethical as well as spiritual realms. But this saint was only practicing certain yoga that helped him to live healthy even without food (read about Non Eating saints in the Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahamsa Yogananda, a Kriya Yogi. He also mentions about a young Catholic saint of German village who never ate any thing except some holy water given by Bishop).

People complain that the saint had not done any good to people and was a ''fraud'' just without any basis, exposing their extreme bias, may be because he was an Indian saint of another religion ! The sub ject being discussed here is if there are saintly people now, (who normally display extra ordinary qualities). We don't know how he is guiding his followers or by his other activities.

It is very unfair to throw uncharitable comments at such people. He may be infusing more Faith and confidence in his followers by his austere life than these arm chair critics throwing hate and suspicion around!

Friend,

Let us not bring any religious sentiments into this, let us keep away the non existent third eye and all that.

If it was possible by the practice of Yoga to live a lifetime without food, it should have been known to the great Yoga gurus, and many would have learned the technique and popularized it! There is nothing esoteric about it.

You are an educated man, with an objective mind think whether it is simply possible! Our bodies need nutrition, eating, urinating, sweating and defecating all are needed for it to exist.

Regards,

The only Roman Catholic saints from India are

1) Gonsalo Garcia, who was canonized in 1862.

2) Sister Alphonsa, canonized 2008.

This is not a philosophical question, but bacteria cannot keep to their quarters and have to spread and pollute everything. Saints are parasitic people that house the meanest parasitic killers in the whole planet. These parasitic people are the most despicable because they are deceptive. They are good people that parasites use at their fullest. Just like the antler fish use the worm on its head to hunt and the worm on its head is the only beauty it has, so the parasites in the kingdom of ra and re use the nicest people to send them to deceive people and after make them the greatest slave traders of the poor crown them saints. The poor nice people were deceived as well and thought that they were doing the right thing by becoming the poorest to live among the poor and help them, but in reality, they were stealing and selling these poor souls to the leaders of their organization.

So to be made saints, the parasites in your have to be very deceitful to even deceive the host, have to be among the greatest thieves in existence just like Aladdin, have to be merciless, have to relentless, have to mimic love and patience because parasites don't have love and patience and have dirty behavior, have to pretend to renounce to sex, that is where masturbation came from because the saints masturbate themselves, have to love bloodshed since they have to live on communion which is the shedding of blood and consummation of meat of people. So, in a nutshell a saint is one of the nastiest parasites of any realms. But poor hosts!

saints may be many but it depends on the life he had spends towards regulating the wisdom and solving many mystics.Therefor the saints should be in merit to concourse the people needs such as sorrows,pains,sufferings and more.

Mother Teresa is going to be Canonized shortly.

"God does not worry about how much you do in life,

but in how much you love doing it." - Mother Teresa ♥

Just because somebody goes without food and water,

doesn't mean they did anything for the humanity of others. <}:-})

Fraud is not a good basis for any form of respect or emulation.

Belief that fraud is not fraud is as bad as fraud.

well, you seem to be promoting this saint.
