Ashutosh Maharaj, was declared dead on January 29 and has
been in a freezer in northern India since. Followers have insisted their
spiritual leader is not dead but in a state of deep meditation, and will
eventually return to lead them. The case is reminiscent of something similar
that happened in eastern West Bengal state in the 1990s, when followers of
another spiritual leader, Balak Brahmachari, refused to cremate him after he
died, saying he would come back to life.
No more fanciful than
a man crucified to death, placed in a tomb, and returned to life three days later.
