I have seen people praying to images of living Gurus who they are disciples

of during pujas. Many people give offerings to pictures of Sai Baba and I have

seen things like this so I would have to say it isn't totally unheard of

although perhaps less common.

 

It made me think of the Roman temples they would build to the emporers and

the Eyptian belief of the Pharoah as sun god with temples to him also.

 

You mentioned that the devotees can buy the pancha murthis for "lots of

bucks" the money factor involved in his teachings raises a lot of questions for

me.
