Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has been found guilty of raping two women at his ashram,the sect's headquarters.
As a result of the verdict there have been clashes in Punjab and Himachal.
It is said Singh has 60 million devotees and surrounds himself with 400 castrated bodyguards.
He claims castration brings his followers 'closer to God'.
In the US a priest was found guilty of having images of child pornography on his computer. He said that he was annoyed with God, he having lost money playing poker.
In Ireland in a right-wing religious magazine a young woman, who is raped, is admired for not talking about it in public.
Religions seem easily to attract unusual people, ideas and customs.
