Going back to the History of Jaitia and Sambhal
Sambhal has been historically described as a City once dawned by Prithvi Raj Chauhan in the 11th century. Sambhal is said to have flourished under the rule of Akbar but subsequently deteriorated in popularity when Akbar's grandsonย Shah Jahanย was made in charge of the City.
Sambhal has a rich history and has been home to several rulers and emperors. From the Lodiโs to the Mughalโs, right from the 5th century BC and spanning up to the 16th Century, it

I post this without any intention whatsoever to disparage Buddhism, but rather as a example of how even the most saintly person can be pulled into a dark quagmire if enough people become emotionally invested in a leader's status.
In 2005-2006 I was fascinated by the accounts of the disciplined training that this teenager displayed, which included him sitting in meditation for months in place without eating, drinking, or sleeping.
I recall that at one point he even had to relocate because he was being pestered by locals and self-volunteered adherents, who were disturbing his meditation.
It was in this new location that he was video-taped sitting in a fire, unscathed.
His discourse after his years-long effort was also impressively insightful and hopeful, a message that the self-enlightened state was still within reach in a jaded and magic-deprived world.
14 years then passed and I heard nothing from the now 30'ish year old guru on any major news outlet.
I was shocked when just tonight I stumbled upon a YouTube video that opened a can of worms I was not expecting:
A search for articles from 2019-2021 tells a story of sexual assault, rape, hidden weapons, missing bodies, man-eating fish, and multiple failed police raids.
How much of this is true, lies of his detractors, directly blamable on him, or the acts of his followers can't be clearly determined from the articles (which I didn't have the heart to research in depth).
What can we take-away from this?
That enlightenment isn't permanent.
Don't put yourself on a pedestal, or let others do so.
And that spiritual currency, and maybe hormones, are often corrupting in the wrong environment.
