Controversial (?fraudulent?) guru Sai Baba has just died. Sambee, I had no knowledge of this person before you posted the link. What a fascinating individual. Quote:In 2011, he was listed by the Watkins Review as one of the 100 most spiritually influential people in the world.
I want to check out that Watkins Review and see who is on that esteemed list. Any mormons? If not, what does that tell us?
Ok, here is the link to the 100 list…
Quote:http://www.watkinsbooks.com/review/watkins-spiritual-100-list ” class=”bbcode_url”> http://www.watkinsbooks.com/review/watkins-spiritual-100-list Sai Baba is #37 on the list.The criteria used:
Quote:There are several factors that were taken into account when compiling the list. Listed below are the main three:
1) The person has to be alive
2) The person has to have made a unique and spiritual contribution on a global scale
3) The person is frequently googled, appears in Nielsen Data, and highlighted in throughout the blogosphere
It’s interesting to think about the amount of times that a person is googled; in a sense, being googled is a form of digital voting, and illustrates just how often someone is being sought out.
From the list, I see no Mormons
😥 On the other hand, Oprah is #8, and Dan Brown #42 … so maybe the list isn’t so completely valid??? Seriously? Dan Brown?
But, hey… I give a
for Ekhart Tolle in the #1 spot…I’m a Tolle fan! He’s a bit notorious… picked up a few western followers, but a few years ago, a hidden camera showed exactly how he conjured items out of “thin air”. (Ordinary sleight of hand)
