Mahātmā is Sanskrit for "Great Soul". It is similar in usage to the modern Christian term saint[citation needed]. This epithet is commonly applied to prominent people like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Jyotirao Phule and Branch Rickey. Rabindranath Tagore is said to have accorded, or popularized, this title for Gandhi.
The following of Mohatma (Mo-hat-ma) Mohat for 'Great one'; has been around since 4670 BC (approx) and started up in the Middle East during this time. It is unsure what happen to its great cult following, some have said that a great plague may have wiped out the followers, it is unclear but the cult does still exist in small numbers today. The Mohatma Idol is central to the religion, it is held by the Mohatma listener; someone that claims to hear and interpret the words of Mohatma. There are three stages in the Mohatma Religion. This religion is not to be confused with Hinduism, the two have little connection; save for some link through the Indus Valley civilisations.
