Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday suggested spiritual leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri to stay away from exhibiting miracles.
“This is the work of magicians and not you. Hence, you should rather concentrate on spiritual preaching," Baghel said.
Baghel told reporters that it cannot be ruled out that some persons are blessed with divine power. Lord Buddha and Ramkrishna Paramhansa were among them. But this power should not be used to exhibit miracles, he said.
Bageshwar Dham and its Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri are in news now-a-days. He is now in Raipur.
Shastri has been charged with promoting superstition but he rejects all accusations, claiming they are a part of a conspiracy against him and Sanatan Dharma.
He claimed that his "Gharwapsi programmes" have offended some people.
The Bageshwar Dham Temple is situated in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh. The temple is devoted to Lord Hanuman.
The 26-year-old Shastri originally was Dhirendra Krishna Garg. He is at present Mahant of the Bageshwar Dham Sarkar temple.
