Abhinav Arora, a young spiritual content creator, has voiced his sorrow over the online backlash and threats he’s faced, dampening his Diwali celebrations this year. In a recent statement, Arora shared his regret, expressing that he didn’t fully understand the decorum expected at Swami Rambhadracharya’s event. Reflecting on the change from past celebrations, he said, “Last Diwali was filled with happiness… but this year, the trolls and YouTubers have taken that joy away. Mistakes happen when you’re young, right?” The 10-year-old also recalled, “Last Diwali, I was joyful because Lord Ram invited me to his home,” capturing how the criticism has impacted his festive spirit.

In another recent viral video, young spiritual orator Abhinav Arora, also known as ‘Bal Sant Baba,’ was seen enthusiastically dancing to a devotional song during a religious gathering, when he was interrupted by Swami Rambhadracharya. The Swami instructed his aides, saying, “Inko neeche kaho jaane ke liye” (Tell him to get off the stage). Later, Abhinav returned to the stage respectfully, with hands folded, to chant “Raja Ram Chandra bhagwan ki jai” using the Swami’s microphone. However, Swami Rambhadracharya, appearing visibly displeased, asserted, “Aap pehle neeche jao. Maryada hain meri” (You go down first. It’s my decorum), emphasizing the importance of maintaining stage decorum.
