Mamta Kulkarni: Former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni has announced her resignation from the post of Mahamandaleshwar in Kinnar Akhara. She took this decision after the massive protest against her post in Kinnar Akhara. She released a video and announced her resignation.

Root of the controversy

Mamta Kulkarni was accused of getting this post by paying Rs 10 crore. Due to this, protests started against her in the Akhara itself. Many saints and people associated with the Akhara had raised the demand for her removal from the post. However, before any official decision was taken, Mamta Kulkarni herself announced her resignation from her post.

Mamta's statement in video message

In her video message, Mamta Kulkarni said, "I am resigning from the post of Mahamandaleshwar Yamai Mata Giri. There are problems in the Akhara regarding my being declared Mahamandaleshwar. I have been a Sadhvi for 25 years and will remain a Sadhvi in future also." She also told that some people had objections to her being honored.

Journey from Bollywood to retirement

Mamta Kulkarni also said that she left Bollywood 25 years ago and then got away from the world. She said, "When I left Bollywood, I had many films, but I separated myself from the world of glamour. Otherwise who stays so far away from Bollywood and makeup?"

Return to India and retirement

After leaving Bollywood, Mamta Kulkarni was living in Dubai. After staying away from India for about 25 years, she returned to India late last year. At the beginning of the new year, she announced her retirement and took initiation from the Kinnar Akhara during the Maha Kumbh held in Prayagraj. After this, Mahamandaleshwar Dr. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi performed her Pinddaan and Pattabhishek, and she was conferred the post of Mahamandaleshwar.

However, this appointment came under controversy and within a few days protests started against her. Due to this, she has now decided to resign from her post.

Conclusion

This decision of Mamta Kulkarni shows how complex and controversial the process of assuming office in religious akhadas can be. Her taking sanyaas and then resigning from the post of Mahamandaleshwar certainly highlights many aspects related to Sanatan Dharma and the Akhada system. It will be interesting to see in which direction she takes her spiritual life going forward.
