Maybe he's just waiting for the Grand High Baba to give him permission to go to the bathroom. Twenty-four years is a long time to hold it...

His hand has seized into an awkward knot and his fingernails have turned into twisted claws.
What is is it with Indian dudes and fingernails?

Hey, can anyone here prove he doesn't have superpowers. You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when everyone else in your bus crash get rescued by baba and you get left to die.

Being a bit judgemental about other religions are we?
Absolutely. If only others would exercise a bit of judgement from time to time...

Heh. This sorta reminds me of Otto from A Fish Called Wanda, when he meditates and then explains that the Buddhist monks used to do this before going into battle, for thousands of years. Heh.

Sadhus are scary, in general. Yeah, lots of them demonstrate powers that seem superhuman. But they're also prone to right-wing bigotry.

Hmm.. I have to try that. And this, of course, reminds me of the BEST JACKIE CHAN film EVER! Wheels on Meals, where Sumo is a detective for an agency and gets a paper with a phone number. Just the only phone number, he puts it down and splashes water on it because he thinks there's a secret message on it. But there isn't, thus we get the 'Wha-Wha-Wha!'. heh.
