Baba Bageshwar in Bihar: Spiritual Call for Justice After Pahalgam Tragedy

Spiritual leader Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, popularly known as Baba Bageshwar, delivered a stirring address at the Vishnu Mahayagya in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, that drew thousands of followers from across India and Nepal.

Spiritual leader Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, affectionately known as Baba Bageshwar, drew thousands to his sermon during the Vishnu Mahayagya in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Held at Radha Nagar in Patahi Chausima, Madhubani, the event was not just a religious gathering—it echoed with messages of patriotism, spiritual reform, and national unity. The idea of Sanatangyan was the focal point of his explanation. Baba defined it as the process of connecting with God while assisting people to help construct an ideal society.

Bihar: A Sacred Connection

Baba Bageshwar began his sermon in Bhojpuri — “Ka haal ba, Muzaffarpur walon?” — immediately establishing a heartfelt connection with the locals. Expressing his love for Bihar, he said, “After Bageshwar Dham, if I am granted a second birth, I want it to be in Bihar.” He declared the land sacred and powerful, promising to return next year for another spiritual session, despite arriving late at this event and humbly apologizing to his followers.

This bond with Bihar is a key part of the Sanatangyan philosophy. It teaches that spiritual identity is not just about rituals. It is also connected to the land, the people, and shared cultural values.

Honoring the Army and Mocking the Enemy

Baba Bageshwar lauded the Indian Army for its swift and precise response to cross-border terrorism, drawing a line between justice and revenge. He subtly referenced Operation Sindoor, implying it as a symbol of restored honor for the women whose sindoor was wiped away during the attacks.

In a satirical jab, he mocked Pakistan’s defense purchases from China: “People in India don’t even use Chinese chargers, but Pakistan bought missiles from China. "We all saw the results," he said. The crowd laughed, showing that Sanatangyan is not just about rituals. It's also about national pride and awareness.

Faith Over Formality: Connecting with Balaji

A brief durbar was held during the event, where Baba personally heard the appeals of 12 selected devotees. He explained that the durbar was just a way to bring people closer to Lord Hanuman. "This durbar is here to help every prayer reach Him," he said.

This act emphasized that the Sanatangyan spirit is inclusive, where faith is not bound by grandeur but by genuine human connection and devotion. His spiritual approach spoke to both the elders and the youth. It crossed age and social barriers.

Caste and Census: A Call for Economic Justice

Addressing the ongoing political discourse around caste-based census, Baba Bageshwar said, “Caste census is fine. But more important is an economic census — to identify the poor. Only when the marginalized are uplifted will the nation develop.”

He emphasized that social upliftment must go beyond caste lines, urging a shift in focus toward poverty and inequality. This slogan makes sense, and so does the phrase “Ek bahu is jism ki akhdi hote hai aur sab dharam ko upar dharam nahi todo hai.” He wished for the realization of extending arms of compassion and the principal value of equality.

Unity Through Sanatangyan

The Muzaffarpur gathering was more than just a spiritual event. It became a place for cultural awakening and national unity. Thousands came from Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal. The event showed how Sanatangyan teachings can bring people together in today's divided world.

By blending tradition with modern challenges, Baba Bageshwar is positioning Sanatangyan as a living philosophy — one that demands inner strength, national pride, and social responsibility.

Rising Influence of Baba Bageshwar

Dhirendra Shastri’s rise marks a new era in Indian spirituality. He connects with people through live sessions and social media. His bold speeches create a strong voice. He combines Sanatangyan spirituality with the issues of modern India.

Critics say he has political undertones. But his followers see him as a fearless truth-teller. He speaks about issues others avoid. These include terrorism, inequality, and cultural identity.

Baba Bageshwar’s address at Muzaffarpur was much more than a spiritual discourse. His Sanatangyan philosophy gave an underlying sacred tone infusing the argument with his rationale claiming it as an appeal to patriotism and social justice. In harsh times of national catastrophes and thick clouds of social unrest, his words extending solace refracted iridescent beams of strength. He was palpably clear that faith can make possible a just and united India.
