Of course, Hitler played a role too, but to a great extent, he really believed in his delusions of conquering the East, and the Jewish pest....
Wow! Scholars have emphasized profusely that Hitler did not actually believe in the "Jewish pest." Rather, Hitler manipulated his society's anti-semitic undertones as a means to an end. By cleverly instigating anti-semitic doctrine, Hitler was able to climb to power with lightning speed.
Andries, do you really think that Hitler was unaware that his grandmother was Jewish?
Tieing this back to Maharaji, do you really think that Rawat really believes himself to be some kind of divinity? Do you really think Rawat's motivation comes from anything other than money?
Just like Hitler implemented anti-semitism, Rawat implements his own dogma, greed. Rawat believes in the almighty dollar, and uses the "almighty knowledge" to attain it.
