Chandigarh, January 28, 2025 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): Yoga guru Ramdev has questioned actor Mamata Kulkarni’s anointment as the Mahamandleshwar of Kinnar Akhara at the ongoing Maha Kumbh.
“The great Kumbh festival of Sanatana, where our roots are connected, is a grand celebration. This is a sacred festival Some people are associating vulgarity, intoxication, and inappropriate behaviour in the name of Kumbh – this is not the true essence of the Maha Kumbh,” PTI quoted Ramdev as saying.
Some individuals, who were indulged in worldly pleasures just yesterday, suddenly become saints or even attain titles like Mahamandaleshwar in a single day,” the yoga guru added.
Several saints have opposed Kulkarni’s anointment as the Mahamandleshwar– a title given to spiritual leaders who play a vital role in religious discourse and social upliftment.
