Suffice it to say that the

the same grouping as Pat Robertson.
If you look behind the veneer and the staging and the silk getup,
it's rather similar: a Hindu fundie and a X-tian fundie, each using
marketing and media to amass great wealth and each promising
salvation (each also with a political agenda), one instantly
(accept jesus, etc., etc.) and the other in 5-7 years.
Ooops. Forgot proselytizing. M. is unique in that he uses
"scientific" proselytizing and the circus tent revival thing has
been replaced with a dome. "Peace on earth, good will to men" is
replaced with "coherence" or "super-radiance" which will (according
to their scientific "tracts") eventually lead to world peace. Pat
uses the Bible, esp. the NT (featuring Jesus), Mahesh uses the
Bhagavad-gita in a commercial translation filled with references to
the product and Krishna.
