US Marshals, still looking for the spiritual guru, suspect that Prakashanand Saraswati, known to his devotees as Swamiji, may have fled America in connivance with his close associates.

Just days after a Hays County jury in Texas convicted him in March 2011 on 20 counts of indecency for molesting two teenagers, the self-styled guru has been missing. A judge sentenced him in absentia to 14 years in prison on each count and the guru also forfeited $ 1.2 million in bond and promissory notes.
