The recent arrival of “Pookie Maharaj,” a baba, has drawn notice for his odd behavior, which includes slipping down railings while wearing Crocs and posting strange life advise on social media. He offers advice on anything from using cow dung to treat skin conditions to not taking a naked bath. But beneath the humor is bad advice that isn’t supported by science, such shaming women for not practicing martial arts or becoming r@pe.

His enormous social media following shows that many people take his comments seriously, despite their ridiculousness, underscoring the risks associated with such babas in India. Why is this new baba so wrong? Bageshwar Dham Baba, whose full name is Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, has been involved in a scandal lately.

All of this began when an anti-superstition group questioned his purported magical abilities; following this, the baba supposedly completed his event many days ahead of time and absconded.

This prompted other inquiries, among them: Is Bageshwar Baba a magician? If so, why did he run away? What magic does he possess, and how does it work? See Prashant Kumar’s explanation of the debate and possible explanation for its origins in this video.
