Hindu spiritual leader Swami Rambhadracharya was recently seen scolding Abhinav Arora, a 10-year-old known as 'Bal Sant Baba' who preaches the teachings of Lord Krishna and has millions of followers on social media. The spiritual leader has now commented on the young boy, who is criticised by many for "faking his spirituality".

Swami Rambhadracharya was asked by a reporter about his opinion on children giving sermons like saints nowadays. "Ye durbhagya hai (This is unfortunate)," he said. The spiritual leader further called Arora a "foolish" boy. "Itna murkh ladka hai wo. Wo kehta hai ki krishna uske sath padhta hai...bhagwan kya uske sath padenge? maine to Vrindavan mai bhi usko danta tha. (He is a foolish boy. He says that Lord Krishna studies with him...Will the God study with him? I had scolded him in Vrindavan too)," Swami Rambhadracharya said.

The video has garnered a lot of reactions on social media. While many social media users criticised Abhinav's behaviour, others blamed his father Tarun Raj Arora for encouraging him.

Who Is Spiritual Orator Abhinav Arora?

Abhinav Arora claims to have embarked on his spiritual journey at the age of three, a path he attributes to a natural calling towards Hindu deities Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. He has around one million followers on Instagram, where he describes himself as India's youngest spiritual orator. However, recently a YouTube channel- Only Desi raised doubts about Arora's spiritual narrative claiming that Arora is a product of careful coaching by his father Tarun Raj Arora.

Tarun Raj Arora is an entrepreneur, author and a TEDx speaker. As per reports, Arora attended a school in Delhi. His Instagram account is full of pictures with politicians, celebrities and even Bollywood actors. He has also been honoured as India's Youngest Spiritual Orator honoured by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
