Bhopal: Acharya Dhirendra Shastri, popularly known as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, is in the news these days. For the devotees, he is Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, Bageshwar Maharaj. But he considers himself a servant of Hanuman ji. He is a disciple of Tulsipeethdheshwar Jagadguru Shri Rambhadracharya Swami. Opponents accuse him of spreading superstition. He describes his powers as the result of the meditation method, which he received from Dada Guru.
What is the whole case?
Pt Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh is a Katha Vachak. He claims that he can read minds. Videos of his Katha often go viral, in which he is seen doing so. As the popularity increased, Pt Dhirendra Shastri started getting calls for stories from different regions of the country. In one such Katha, he went to Nagpur. This Katha was to go on till January 13, but Shastri returned on January 11. There is an organization of Maharashtra - Maharashtra Blind faith Eradication Committee. Shyam Manav of this institution said- Dhirendra Shastri practices magic in the name of Shastri and promotes superstition. He also demanded the police to take action against Dhirendra Shastri. Maharashtra has a law to eradicate superstition, which provides action against those who spread superstition. The institution demanded action under this law. The committee also challenged Dhirendra Shastri to come and show the miracles he claims in his divine court and show them on their stage. If they do so, they will be given Rs 30 lakh but Shastri did not accept the challenge. In fact, as mentioned above, he returned two days ago, finishing the Katha. On this, a section of the people started claiming on social media that he ran away in fear. However, a lot of people are also writing in support of him. Pandit Dhirendra Shastri also accepted the challenge later.
The glory of Bageshwar Dham:-
It is claimed that many incurable diseases are cured by visiting Balaji in Bageshwar Dham. People come here to regarding jobs, marriage, business, and political future. There is a coconut wrapped in Arji clothes, which is tied in the temple courtyard. There is a tradition that by the grace of Balaji, the application is accepted and the wishes of the people are fulfilled.
At the same time, Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham is on the target of a particular class. Regarding his allegations, Mahanta says that he is under attack because of the campaign 'Ghar Wapsi.' Even though the Bageshwar Sarkar is currently in Raipur, but Bageshwar Dham is running at its own pace. Manoj Trivedi, sewadar of Bageshwar Dham, said that every year there is a mass marriage of the poor girls here. This year, 121 girls are to be married on Maha Shivaratri (18 February 2023). These girls are from economically weaker families or orphans. At present, preparations are going on for this event in Dham.
Manoj Trivedi further said, "Guruji (Dhirendra Krishna Shastri) in Bageshwar Dham gets poor girls married every year. This year too, 121 girls are to be married on Maha Shivaratri. Guruji considers the girls as his sister and daughter. Guruji gives them everything that a father tries to give to his daughter. In the year 2021, 108 girls were married. It's happening again this year.'' According to Manoj Trivedi, this mass marriage has been going on for four years. According to him, Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri had taken a pledge for this in childhood. Now they are doing it every year. He further said "Guruji's life was full of deprivations. They were very poor. At the time of his sister's marriage, he did not have money. Then he resolved that if Balaji ever had mercy on him and he starts earning, he would get poor girls married. Guruji wants that no brother should have to do this as he was upset and sad about his sister's marriage. Therefore, he gets the girls married.''
Let us tell you that there is an office in Bageshwar Dham for the registration of marriages. According to the news received from Dham, 17 girls were married in 2019, 21 girls in 2020 and 2021, and 108 girls in 2022. Of the girls who got married in 2022, there were 12 who did not have a father. Married couples are provided with Ramcharitmanas as well as everything that is necessary to start a household. Along with this, Bhandara in Bageshwar Dham has been running continuously for three years. This is called Annapurna. Manoj Trivedi said, "Guruji does not want anyone coming to Dham to return hungry. That is why Annapurna was started. It has been going on for 3 years. Thousands of people get prasad here every day.'' When asked about the allegations against Pt Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, Manoj Trivedi said, "Those who are accusing Gurudev should go to the divine court. If they sit in the court, Gurudev will open all their poles. Many people came and went. Leaders come and go after bowing down. Guruji has the blessings of Balaji. What he says happens. This faith brings him here and gives 26-year-old Dhirendra Krishna Shastri the strength to say with his charming smile that everyone will say Sita-Ram. Don't worry.''
What did Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham say about the allegations against him?
Peethadheesh of Bageshwar Dham said while talking to the media that I am not an ascetic, but my whole childhood has been spent in penance. He recited Hanuman Chalisa since childhood. I experienced what Guruji told me. Sat at the feet of Hanuman ji and cried. As a result, today the flag of Sanatan Dharma is being hoisted everywhere. This is a slap on the face of the missionaries. For this, he thanked the committee of Maharashtra. He said that anyone can become popular by managing the media, but if there is no truth, then they will be bold out. It was shown about us that our eyes were filled while giving clarifications.
Shastriji said, "We are Barbary lions. We made them cry by hoisting the Sanatan flag. People should open their eyes.'' Pandit Shastri said that in the history of India, have any news channels exposed the pastor? Pandit Dhirendra Shastri said that many Muslims are associated with us. Many Christians also come. People from other sects also come. We as human beings help everyone. Only what comes in front of us will become Sanatani, we will pray to Balaji. Asked the Maharaja of Bageshwar that when people come to his court, they start tormenting, they start beating themselves. What happens to people at that time? On this, he said that their negative and positive energy starts fighting. We are nothing, we have no ghosts. When asked if Christians do the same when they set up conversion camps? They start jumping. On this, Dhirendra Shastri said that this is the discussion in the whole country. That is why missionaries are following us, but no pastor will be able to face Bageshwar Dham. Apart from this, he explained the difference between the pastors and the maulanas and said that we do not exploit anyone. We get married poor girls. We organize food for everyone (Bhandara). We don't take donations. By 2029, a 400-bed cancer research hospital is going to be opened with the help of devotees. We don't spread riots. We don't do Halala. We do not scare devotees in the name of dip. We don't remove ghosts. We just connect with God.
