Spiritual orator Abhinav Arora has been making headlines for a few days now. It all started as a spiritual leader Swami Rambhadracharya asked the ten-year-old to leave the stage twice during a religious gathering in Vrindavan, leading to his trolling on social media. Following this, YouTuber Ankit ‘unmasked’ Arora in a series of videos, suggesting that his spiritual inclinations are not innate but are the result of coaching from his father, Tarun Raj Arora. Recently his family claimed to have received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Adding to the drama, a video of “India’s youngest spiritual orator” went viral in which he struggled to answer basic questions about Lord Krishna.

In the now viral video, an ABP journalist asks, “Who gave the Sudarshan Chakra to Lord Krishna?” “The Sudarshan Chakra that Lord Krishna had was given to him,” Arora replied.

The interviewer repeats his question: “Who gave it?” and added, “Where did he get it?”

“It is also written in the Shiva Purana. The Sudarshan Chakra was given to Vishnu. Lakshmi ji is a beautiful woman. In the Shiva Purana it is described that the Sudarshan Chakra was given to Vishnu. Lakshmi ji is the beautiful woman,” Arora replied.

The interviewer repeats his question again: “Who gave the Sudarshan Chakra to Lord Krishna?”

Arora then says, “Lord Shiv”, while the correct answer is Lord Parshuram.

“What does the name Krishna mean?” the interviewer then asks. In response, Arora says, “One who takes away suffering.” However, the real meaning of Lord Krishna’s name is “dark” or “black”.

The interviewer continues: “What language does the word Krishna come from?” “One who removes suffering is the meaning of the name Krishna,” Arora points out.

“What is the full name of Lord Krishna?” the interviewer asks. Arora answers, “The name of Bhagwan Shri Krishna is Krishna,” but the correct answer is “Shri Krishna Vasudev.”

“Who is Vasudev Yadav?” the interviewer asks. This is the only question Arora answers correctly: “Vasudev is his father.”

Abhinav Arora has moved UP’s Mathura court against seven YouTubers. He said he initially did not want to take legal action, but felt it was necessary due to the circumstances. Drawing a parallel with Lord Ram, he noted that even he was forced to deliver justice despite his reluctance. Arora explained that he took this step after he faced verbal abuse and threats that started impacting his family.
