Crowds Irate at Seer's Failure to Die
19 November 2004
A Hindu seer, chief cleric of the Sriguru Ashram in east India, was berated by a crowd of 15,000, for failing to die after having declared that his soul would leave his body between 6 am and noon on Wednesday, in a "'death by will'" miracle. When asked what had happened, the seer apologized: "'Perhaps the will of God was somewhat different. I am very shocked to have given you so much pain. I wanted to leave my mortal body, but I could not. Please forgive me.'"
