Fails WP:NPOL. What sources do exist explicitly note how he had no meaningful impact on politics in India, and there's a lot of subtle (sometimes less-than-subtle) promotion throughout. The uncritical ridiculous age claim doesn't help. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:58, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Meets neither the specialized notability guideline for politicians nor GNG. The lengevity claim is just plain silly. But, being of a certain age myself, this person's name called to mind a lyric in the Beatles' song "Across the Universe". So I went looking for a connection between the mantra "Jai Guru Deva Om" and Jai Gurudev. I cannot find one. If there were one, and if one could find coverage of this in a reliable source, my view might change. But, as they say, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
