Godman is a term used in India for a type of charismatic guru or healer who is often raised to a demigod-like figure by their cult following. They generally claim to possess paranormal powers, such as the ability to heal, the ability to see or influence future events, and the ability to read minds.[1] Godmen usually have a high-profile presence, and are capable of attracting attention and support from large sections of the society.[2]
