Bageshwar Dham's head priest, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, recently offered a b reaction regarding a controversial "Baba." Before departing on a foreign trip, while addressing a gathering at his Dham, Dhirendra Shastri said, "There was a certain Chhangur or Jhingur Baba."
Bageshwar Dham: The head priest of Bageshwar Dham, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri (Dhirendra Krishna Shastri), has once again made a significant statement against so-called Babas who are engaging in deception in the name of religion. Mentioning the name of Chhangur Baba, Dhirendra Shastri described him as an exploiter of women and someone who forcibly converts Hindus. He appealed to devotees to be cautious, saying that such deceitful Babas are hollowing out Hindu society from within.
Described Chhangur Baba as an exploiter and a converter
In his address, Bageshwar Baba said, "There was a certain Chhangur or Jhingur Baba..." He then clarified that he was referring to Chhangur Baba. Dhirendra Shastri alleged that Chhangur Baba physically exploited women and converted thousands of Hindus. He stated that such people do dirty deeds in the name of religion and mislead society.
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri said that Babadom is rapidly spreading in India today. He said, "We don't have a problem with Babas, but we have a problem with you following such Babas. Wearing the garb of religion, these people are misleading society." He appealed to people with folded hands not to mislead their faith and not to destroy their lives and religion by being influenced by any imposter.
Such imposters are most dangerous for Hindu society
Dhirendra Shastri further stated that if a person comes under the influence of a wrong ideology or a corrupt-minded person, they will also become corrupt from within. Such deceitful individuals not only spoil themselves, but they also cause the greatest harm to Hindu religion, the tradition of saints, and the faith of the people. He said that society needs to be cautious because not every person wearing a religious garb is a saint.
At the end of his address, Dhirendra Shastri made it clear that, "We don't say that every Baba is wrong. But you have to recognize with your own discretion who is right and who is wrong. Don't run after Babas, run after Balaji. The true path of God and religion will give you happiness in life." He said that a person who works to sow discord in society in the name of religion should never be considered a religious leader.
