Guru Sathya Sri Baba only died in 1984. His list of 'miracles' including resurrections makes Jesus look like a child's party entertainer.
In one example four men travelled from Australia to visit him in India. As they waited an attendant came out to ask one of them to come in as Sri Baba had a message for him. One of his family back home was ill and he needed to return urgently. He asked him to point out on a map on the wall where he was from. The man pointed to Australia and the guru touched the map which turned into a detailed map of Australia. He pointed again and again in increasing detail until he could identify his home. Then the guru invited him to step through the map and he would be transported immediately to his family.
The man never came back out of the room.
The attendants will testify to this miracle. So will the man's three friends and so will the man himself as will his family.
This happened just a few decades ago. It was recorded within days. The names of the witnesses are known and still alive. How many 'indisputable facts' do you think we could enumerate?
And yet we both know this story is bullshit. Probably based on wishful thinking, exaggeration, lies chinese whispers and self-promotion.
Jesus' body almost certainly rotted in a mass grave or rubbish tip in Jerusalem. His presence with his followers was in the same sense that millions of others vividly feel the presence of dead loved ones. It is a human response to grief and loss. In time the 'spiritual' experience acquired literal details like a muddled story of an empty tomb as one disciple after another vied for the most profound experience of his presence.
The truth is almost always more mundane.
