Swaminarayan saint’s viral video calling Navratri as ‘Loveratri’ sparks outrage
Updated: Oct 5th, 2024
A viral video of a Swaminarayan monk went viral and stirred up controversy, as he was seen calling Navratri as ‘Loveratri’ and a nine-day fashion show.
The video has caused widespread controversy, considering the importance of the festival of Gujarat.
In the video, Sadhu Anupam Swaroop Swami of the Swaminarayan sect also says that the festival has gone from worshipping goddess to a festival of lust.
He was also seen backing the thought that ‘Navratri causes divorces’. He further goes on to say that Navratri, which has come to be known as the identity of the Gujarati people, has not become Loveratri, indicating that the worshipping aspect of the festival is being forgotten.
The women who are supposed to be worshipped during these days are reduced to a means of entertainment, like a rabbit among the hungry wolves.
The viral video and the statements from Anupam Swaroop Swami have brought a lot of criticism both online and offline.
