Baba is a spiritual leader who is known for his spiritual public discourses mainly in India. His discourses are broadcast on multiple television channels across India & several other nations.

He often gives seemingly very absurd solutions to people looking for remedies: his advice has included stocking fridges with cold drinks, eating pani poori, giving food to the poor and buying a new briefcase to overcome the worldly problems of the devotees'.

One of his supporters (a professor of psychology at Delhi University), has said that "he had some sort of extra-sensory perception" and "he was performing a positive mental health role".

On the bright side, these religious babas propagate the message of oneness and peace.
