Aerospace engineer- turned-sanyasi Abhey Singh, aka IITian Baba, was expelled late Saturday from the Juna Akhara camp at Maha Kumbh for allegedly using abusive language against his guru Mahant Someshwar Puri.
Juna Akhara said discipline and devotion towards the guru were paramount and anyone failing to conform to this credo couldn’t become a sanyasi. “Abhey Singh’s act goes against the guru-shishya (disciple) tradition and sanyas (renuncia- tion). If you have disrespected your guru, you have shown that you don’t have any respect for Sanatan Dharma or the akhara,” said Mahant Hari Giri, chief patron of Juna Akhara.
With over a lakh followers on social media, Singh purportedly called his father “Hiranyakashyap” (mythological demon king) and his guru “pagal” (insane) in a viral reel. Soon, there was a clamour within the akhara seeking action against him. On being asked by his guru to leave the camp, IITian Baba took shelter in another seer’s camp. Singh broke the internet at the start of Kumbh after word got around that one of the sanyasis at Juna Akhara’s camp was a graduate from IIT Bombay.
