Sanal Edamaruku's black magic challenge...

[EHocking]

This blog begins with what seems to be the same article as linked above:
http://sathyasaibaba.wordpress.com/...alist-international-india-tv-sanal-edamaruku/

But sathysaibaba adds this in one of the comments:

The Rationalist International article says that Pandit Surendra Sharma was the one that claims to be a black magician who advises top magicians.
Any Hindi speakers out there that could review the first tapes to confirm the conversation?

Also, you could email Sanal Edamaruku directly at the Rationalist International site to get details on the Pandit.

I am disapointed they couldn't come up with better magic words than "Om lingalingalinalinga, kilikili"

Soften up your victime with some:
Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho!
Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho!
Meka Leka Hi Meka Chany Ho!
Meka Leka Hi Meka Chany Ho!

Then whip out the:
KLATUU...BARADA...NIKTO!

Follow with two or three:
OHWA! TAGOO! SIAM!

Finish the job with:
EYE YAM!
SOFA KING!
WEE TODD ID!

The Rationalist International article says that Pandit Surendra Sharma was the one that claims to be a black magician who advises top magicians.

The article says he "claims to be the tantrik of top politicians and is well known from his TV shows," which I take to be different to: "claims to be the tantrik of top politicians and to be well known from his TV shows." ie: only one half is the tantric's claim.

He doesn't seem to be particularly well known today -- except for this challenge. Maybe he had 15 minutes of fame immediately before this crash and burn.

Also, you could email Sanal Edamaruku directly at the Rationalist International site to get details on the Pandit.

Thanks.
