As I have mentioned in earlier posts, why is it that there are no new holy men after Jesus Christ and Buddha? This boy was supposedly discovered meditating in a jungle under a pipal tree (same kind of tree that Buddha meditated under). It is claimed that he had been meditating for 7 months without food and water (but I wonder how those who discovered him knew that). He has been hailed as the new Buddha. Strangely he kept disappearing and then coming back to the people who believed him. Up to now, nothing really special has happened.
So what if he can survive 7 months of fasting? Does that make him holy? How does such a feat help in bringing world peace or raise the level of spiritual experience in the world? What good has he done for the world? What new teachings has he brought on top of what Buddha has taught?

Money Again
As I have said many times in my posts, we cannot run away from money as long as we are on this earth, and no religion can survive without money. Even Jesus in the Bible did not dismiss the need for money.
There are reports elsewhere talking about how this boy has asked his followers to ask for donations and also momentos to be sold. If this is true, then I will say this is a fake without any second thoughts. Read one report here.
