A 10-yo 'bal sant' baba is going viral¡ªinternet asks, 'how easy it is to fool a country of 1.4 billion people?'
10-year-old Abhinav Arora, known as a young spiritual sensation, has sparked a debate online. Some see him as a prodigy, while others worry about the impact of thrusting a child into the spotlight at such a young age.
Every now and then, you might stumble upon a self-proclaimed baba dishing out life advice on social media. Recently, it's a 'Pookie Baba' stealing the spotlight with his adorable antics and witty comebacks. But hold on, there's a new player in town¡ªa 10-year-old kid baba who's also going viral. This has left people on the internet wondering: is it really that easy to fool 1.4 billion people?
The latest baba is 10-year-old Abhinav Arora, a devoted follower of Lord Shri Ram.
His father, author and TED speaker Tarun Raj Arora, shared that Abhinav embraced the spiritual path at the tender age of three. Since then, he's been passionately sharing stories and praises of Shri Ram, as reported by ABP Live.
Abhinav's spiritual videos have gained a strong following on social media, where fans lovingly call him 'Bal Sant' (Child Saint).
At just eight years old, he was recognised by Cabinet Minister Nitin Gadkari at the Global Indian Conclave and Awards as India's Youngest Spiritual Orator.
Last month, actor Anupam Kher met with Abhinav and shared a clip of their interaction, expressing his admiration for the young boy's profound knowledge of Sanatan.

They are clearly paid to do this nautanki still people fall for it. Motu kid would fail 6th std but gives life lessons to adults. pic.twitter.com/Rj0XPvelAr
Reactions poured in, with some defending the young boy against the criticism, while others were quick to call out the act.
One comment read, "How can anyone not see through him? Kid talking like an adult spewing AI responses like he's sitting in an interview," while another said, "Looks like a scamster at this age only."
Someone else pointed out the irony, saying, "We'll laugh, share, argue over it, but deep down, we'll all be waiting for the next 'Motu' to drop some 'knowledge' on us. Yes, because if there's one thing we Indians love more than our masala, it's taking life lessons from anyone with a microphone or a viral video, regardless of their credentials."
And then, there were those questioning the parenting behind it all: "What is going on, who is the father of this baby. Why they are ruining the childhood of a children?"
So, what do you think? Is the kid baba a prodigy sharing wisdom beyond his years, or is it troubling to witness a kid thrust into the spotlight, potentially losing out on a normal childhood?
