Mahadangal: Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Calls Out Premanand Maharaj | ABP NEWS

In a recent episode of Mahadangal, ABP News delved into the growing controversy surrounding popular spiritual orators and the distinction between true saints and self-proclaimed gurus. The debate intensified after a bold statement by Jagadguru Rambhadracharya, a respected scholar and spiritual leader. He criticized popular preacher Premanand Maharaj, stating that earlier only true scholars narrated scriptures, but today even the ignorant are delivering discourses. He challenged Premanand Maharaj to recite and interpret Sanskrit verses, questioning his knowledge and authenticity. The controversy sparked discussions nationwide, especially as Premanand Maharaj enjoys widespread popularity and a massive following, including celebrities. His past comments on gender and relationships have also drawn criticism. Similarly, orator Aniruddhacharya has made headlines for controversial statements on women's appearance and early marriage, leading to public backlash. The episode highlighted opinions from various religious leaders, some defending Premanand Maharaj’s influence on youth and his ability to spread Sanatan Dharma, while others emphasized the need for deep scriptural knowledge to lead people spiritually. Mahadangal raised a pressing question for modern society: In an era where orators gain mass following, how can the common man distinguish between true wisdom and misleading popularity?
