Mamta Kulkarni: Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni's name is once again in the headlines, but this time not for any film but for her religious post. Recently she was given the post of Mahamandaleshwar, but within a week this post was taken back from her. After this decision, many controversies have come to the fore and she has also been accused of paying Rs 10 crore to get this post.The matter heated up in MahakumbhThis issue became a topic of much discussion during Mahakumbh. Many sadhus and saints objected to Mamta Kulkarni being made Mahamandaleshwar, the most prominent name among which was Dhirendra Shastri, also known as Baba Bageshwar of Bageshwar Dham. Dhirendra Shastri raised the question that how can such an important religious post be given to anyone under external influence. He said, "This post should only be given to a person with a true soul. We ourselves have not yet become Mahamandaleshwar." Mamta Kulkarni's replyRecently, actress Mamta Kulkarni responded to the allegations against her on the show 'Aap Ki Adalat'. She said that all the allegations being made against her are baseless. She also reacted to Dhirendra Shastri's statement and said, "My penance is as much as his age. He should be afraid of Mahakal and Mahakali."Mamta further said that she has seen Hanuman ji directly during her sadhna and has attained his siddhi. She challenged Dhirendra Shastri and said, "If you have doubts, ask your guru who I am and sit quietly."What is the whole controversy?The root of this entire controversy is that a section of sadhus and saints were unhappy that a former Bollywood actress was given the post of Mahamandaleshwar. They claimed that this post was given to her not on the basis of her spiritual knowledge and penance, but due to external influence and money power.However, Mamta Kulkarni rejected all these allegations and called herself a true Sadhika. According to her, she was given this position due to her Sadhna and devotion.What will happen in the end?Now it will be interesting to see how this controversy ends. Will Mamta Kulkarni be able to prove her claims, or will the opposition of Sadhus and Saints intensify in this matter? At present, this issue has taken the form of a big controversy in the religious and spiritual world.
