I understand that India has a number of people doing this sort of semi-divine cult stuff, so it might not be quite as uncommon as you think, given context.
Godman is a colloquial unisex term used in India for a type of charismatic guru that is often raised to a demigod-like figure by their cult following. They usually have a high-profile presence, and are capable of attracting attention and support from large sections of the society.[1] Godmen also sometimes claim to possess paranormal powers, such as the ability to heal, the ability to see or influence future events, and the ability to read minds.[2]
Godmen are revered as special human beings and often worshipped by their followers.[3] Some godmen come from established schools of spirituality, but often they don’t belong to any religious order. In recent years, many godmen have gained followers outside of India, which has increased their fame and wealth.[2]
Well that’s a new one, didn’t expect any prophets or messiahs in 2024.
