Blind Faith is the Super-spreader: Did Gujarat Godman, Who Died of Covid-19, Lace Prasad With Saliva?

A priest in Gujarat died because of coronavirus last month. Now shocking videos have emerged, where he is seen offering “jhoote laddoo” – basically laddoos coated in his saliva – to his devotees, possibly infecting thousands of people.

Last month, a priest in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad died due to Covid-19. The 78-year-old Shree Purushottam Priyadasji Swamishree Maharaj, also known as PP Swami, spent two weeks in a hospital, requiring plasma therapy and ventilator support, before succumbing to his illness. Along with Swami, 10 other priests of Maninagar Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan also tested positive. Unfortunately, it appears that the godman may have transmitted the disease to many more people than just his fellow priests due to his practise of offering “jhoote laddoo” – basically laddoos coated in his saliva – to his devotees on his birthday.

 

Religious practises, customs, and gatherings are a huge part of social life in India, and the pandemic has shown how deeply ingrained they are, as people continue to persist with them even in the face of sound advice. Ever since Covid-19 began to spread across India, religious gatherings have proven to be fertile ground for the virus to spread. At a time when the central and state governments of the country are repeatedly highlighting the need to wear masks, Swami’s “jhoote laddoo” practise flew in the face of all good sense. Now, weeks after Swami’s passing, a clip of an event he attended is going viral across the internet, and it is a microcosm of how poorly prepared Indian society as a whole is for the coronavirus.
