Who is Bageshwar Dham Sarkar aka Dhirendra Krishna Shastri? Why he is in news?

Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the head of the Bageshwar Dham temple in Madhya Pradesh, was invited to display his miraculous abilities at a gathering in Maharashtra by a group opposed to superstition. Nevertheless, he reportedly "fled" to Madhya Pradesh rather than show up at the event. And since then, the self-proclaimed Bageshwar Sarkar is under the spectrum of scrutiny.

Who is Bageshwar Dham Sarkar?

Bhageshwar Dham Sarkar is the head of Bageshwar Dham. He has a sizable fan base who are convinced of his supernatural abilities. The Bageshwar Dham temple in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, is connected to the 26-year-old self-styled godman of the state. On July 4th, 1996, Dhirendra Krishna Garg was born. He later adopted the name Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. According to reports, his mother is Saroj Garg and his father is Karpal Garg. His paternal grandfather, Bhagwandas Garg, was a Siddh saint. Near the Hanuman temple, a court was held at the Nirmohi Akhara, which was connected to his grandfather. Later, Dhirendra Krishna Shastri began to hold divine court, which gained huge popularity.

The saint's alleged use of spiritual methods to solve people's problems has earned him widespread popularity. He is regarded as miraculous because he plays with people's psychological issues. There are several incidents involving Dhirendra Krishna Shastri baba where it is claimed that he demonstrably resolved personal problems using his alleged abilities.

The common miracles people witness during the Satsang of Bageshwar Dham Sarkar are:

Dhirendra Krishna Shastri addresses one individual by name among thousands of others. He also records details about the person, including his problem, how long it has existed, and its resolution, on a piece of paper without actually getting the other person's input. It's interesting to know that the person's actual issue matches what Dhirendra Krishna Shastri foresaw and wrote about. 

The second miracle involves an incident where a person claims that a jinn, ghost, or other spirit entered his body and caused him distress. Bageshwar Dham Sarkar or Dhirendra Krishna Shastri expel the jinn from the body in order to fix the issue. Interestingly, it is seen that the jinn, or ghost, spoke to Shastri during this time. And the general public seems to find this to be quite appealing in and of itself.

What is the latest row around him?

Dhirendra Krishna Shastri was invited to their Satsang despite the Maharashtrian organization's accusations that he is a fraud. Demands for an FIR against Shastri have been made as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar reportedly fled from a Ramkatha event in Nagpur after being pressed to demonstrate his miracle. Bageshwar Dham Sarkar claimed in a video that went viral on Thursday that he did not leave Nagpur. He invited anyone who wanted to see his miracle to visit Raipur.

Whereas in a different video, Dhirendra Krishna Shastri said he lacked any supernatural abilities and had nothing to back up his claims. Ahead in the video, he said,  "At Bageshwar Balaji's feet, I am merely a slave. I do as he inspires me,".

Photos of Dhirendra Krishna Shastri with a number of politicians have surfaced on social media as the godman is in the middle of a dispute. Bageshwar Dham is trending on Twitter, and videos of Dhirendra Krishna Shastri are also going viral.

बाग़ेश्वर धाम महाराज के ख़िलाफ़ हमलें होने ही है

उन्होंने धर्म परिवर्तन को रोकने का काम किया है, वो व्यास पीठ से समाज और धर्म के सामने खड़ी चुनौतियों से लड़ने का आह्वान कर रहे हैं

देश विरोधी और हिंदू विरोधी गैंग के पेट में दर्द होना ही था

जिन्हें श्रद्धा नहीं वो मत सुनो
