- In Prayagraj Mahakumbh, parents got angry at those who called Harsha Richhariya a hypocrite.
- Bhopal’s Harsha is in the news for taking the royal bath riding on the chariot of Niranjani Akhara.
- Father said- Harsha has left everything and adopted the path of religion, so what has he done wrong in this?
Prashant Vyas, Navdunia, Bhopal (Harsha Richhariya). Harsha Richhariya of Bhopal is talked about across the country for her beauty and Sadhvi attire in Prayagraj Mahakumbh. Controversy arose when Harsha left the career of anchoring and modeling and took the form of a Sadhvi.
Some sages and saints reprimanded him calling it a publicity stunt, while many Mahatmas have defended him. Harsha’s family is also worried about the discussions happening across the country through Mahakumbh within a week and through social media.
Left everything and adopted the path of religion
Reaching his home in Vrindavan Nagar, Bhopal, Navdunia spoke to Harsha’s father Dinesh Richaria, mother Kiran and brother Karan. He said that our daughter had a respectable career in the past also. If he has left everything two-three years ago and adopted the path of religion, then what wrong has he done?
They start calling their country’s daughter a hypocrite
When women from other countries take bath in the Mahakumbh, everyone applauds them, but if a daughter of one’s own country and religion takes initiation from a guru and takes a bath in the Mahakumbh, then they start calling her a hypocrite, why so much hatred for her?
Every parent wants their child to follow the path of religion.
Harsha’s father Dinesh Richhariya told that his daughter has never lied to anyone. Some people created things from their own minds and started spreading them. Later they started targeting our daughter.
But we understand that this is because of our daughter’s name. She has not been caught in any wrongdoing. Which parent does not want his/her child to follow the path of religion and spirituality? If a select few people have maligned him, many more have also supported him.
It is more important to connect people with religion
Harsha’s mother Kiran Richhariya said that some sages and saints have even called Gurudev Kailashanand Giri good and bad. After the discussion of Harsha across the country, the name of Niranjani Akhara has increased even more, due to frustration with this, such things are being said. However, the saints themselves are giving their answers. Those who are truly knowledgeable about religion know that it is important to connect a person with religion, no matter what the medium.
Harsha cried remembering the incident of 2004
Harsha’s mother told that there is an old story related to the Mahakumbh in which her daughter’s name came into so much discussion. During the royal bath in the 2004 Ujjain Simhastha Kumbh, when Harsha had gone to the place meant for saints and sages to take bath, the police had pushed her away.
Harsha felt very bad due to this and she said that one day there will be a time when she will take bath only among the saints. Kiran tells that Harsha had called her after taking the nectar bath of Prayagraj Mahakumbh. That day she cried remembering the 2004 Kumbh.
Harsha’s family is from Mauraniganj
Harsha’s family is originally from Mauraniganj in Jhansi district. His family has been in Bhopal for the last 25 years. Harsha completed her schooling from Saraswati Vidya Mandir and did her BBA from Vikramaditya College.
