"I cannot go to school because of trolling": Spiritual content creator Abhinav Arora

In an interview with ANI, he opened up about his schooling and education. Arora, who claims to have embarked on his spiritual journey at the age of three, stated that both schooling and spiritual education are necessary.

"I go to school. I believe both school and spiritual education is necessary. I am in class 5. Currently, I am not going to school due to trolling. Yes, I went to give exams, but because of the trollers, I cannot go to school," Abhinav said.

When asked about his popularity and followers, Abhinav said that people who follow him are not his followers, rather they are followers of Lord Krishna.

He said, "The person who follows me, who takes selfies with me, are not my followers, rather they are Thakur Ji's (Lord Krishna) followers. They are fans of Kanha ji and whatever love I receive I dedicate it to him."

His father, Tarun Raj Arora emphasised that Abhinav is a bright student and wants to go to 'Gurukul' but currently, is unable to take his physical classes at school due to "controversies, adding that he is taking his spiritual education at home.

"He goes to school, but, currently, due to controversies, he is taking spiritual education at home. He is a bright student. he believes that both school and spiritual education is necessary, although he wants to go to 'Gurukul'," Tarun Arora told ANI.

Addressing the social media trolling, his father said that the "forceful" hate which is emerging on social media is far away from reality.

He stated that Abhinav's social media journey was similar to a child's curiosity of showcasing its new learning on social media.

Tarun Raj Arora said, "If a child learns something new, then he/she showcases it, and there was a similar thing in case of Abhinav's social media journey. What if he learns something new about dharma and wants to tell to people? The word reel and real is very different. Social media is trolling him, but in ground reality, the people who meet Abhinav, they love him a lot. He goes to several temples for a darshan. He also went to Vrindavan. The forceful hate which is emerging on social media, is far away from reality. The reality is people like him as they did earlier. What wrong he did? Has he abused someone? Has he disrespected anyone or any religion? Has he given any statement to degrade his religion? Where is he wrong? Those people are getting jealous whose own child is not saying Radhe-Radhe or not talking about spirituality. He is going through his regular academics as well"

Addressing the trolls, Abhinav Arora said that he has never said that he is a saint rather he is just a devotee of Lord Krishna and wants to preach about spirituality and Sanatan Dharm.

Highlighting his court case against trolls, Abhinav said that it wasn't his aim to go to court against the Youtubers but eventually, he had to take that path.

Abhinav said, "Earlier, people used to talk to me and love me a lot, but, now, after trolling, people have that feeling of trolling and some are focused towards getting views, which is very wrong. How one can troll someone if a person is saying Radhe-Radhe? I have never said that I am a saint. I am just a devotee of Kanha Ji and want to preach about the spirituality and Sanatan Dharm."

"It wasn't my aim to go to court against the Youtubers, but I had to go. Look, it wasn't Lord Ram's aim to kill Khara and Dushana (demon), but he had to. Similarly, it wasn't Lord Krishna's aim to kill Shishupal, but he eventually he had to. I have learnt all these in shashtras. I have learnt Bhagwad Gita, Bhaktmaal," he added. His father also stated that Abhinav has never called himself a spiritual leader.

"Abhinav has never called himself a spiritual leader. There a lot of things due to which he was targeted, he has been in the limelight and has received awards. The thing is that people think that a video against Abhinav will work and Youtubers used this tactic."

Abhinav Arora, a spiritual content creator from Delhi, claims to have embarked on his spiritual journey at the age of three.

Earlier, Advocate Pankaj Arya, on behalf of Abhinav, filed a complaint against YouTubers for allegedly trolling him on social media. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for January 3.

"The legal proceedings are ongoing, and the next hearing is set for January 3," Arya confirmed.

Speaking about the case, Arya elaborated, "A group of individuals has initiated a campaign against Abhinav Arora and Sanatana Dharma. We have approached the court to address this. We are prepared to take this matter to the High Court or Supreme Court if necessary. We have demanded an FIR against these YouTubers." (ANI)
