I am a Hindu and try to acquire as much knowledge as possible of all religions and their leaders.One thing that stands out as to WHY so many of CURRENT Hindu Spiritual icons have such extravagant outward show and pomp. e.g Mr.Ravishankar,Ayur ved baba who is all the time in the news( I cant recall his naam) and so many of the Dayanands and Nityanands and other Nands and their Akharas.Makes me REALLY wonder!!!!

Hi Partha, A disease free body and a prejudice free mind is what a person requires. This was stated by a spiritual icon who you had named. If you really want to understand this you need to practice it. There are many spiritual icons in other religions too who have deviated. The Mind is difficult to control; any person can deviate from his path and may result in something disastrous.

only A few of them are extraVAGANT.. majority of the saints live a simple life..unnecessary attention is given to them just to defame them..

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is not a sannyasi or a religious head, only a yoga master.
His yoga courses have helped millions and he has done a lot to help and empower the poor and unprivileged everywhere.
He is indeed trying to advertise his courses so that maximum people will benefit from it and be able to empower themselves.
If people want to criticize him or other such masters, first let them open an ngo or trust, wipe out the poverty and inequalities in their own village or town at least and then get the right to criticize him.

Who told that? There are saints who are women and who are married. Please google about St. Rita, the saint of the impossible
