By criticizing the saints, doubts towards saints will arise in the minds of the young generation

Spiritual guru Swami Rambhadracharya had commented on Saint Premanand, about which there is an atmosphere of resentment in the saint society. Rambhadracharya had said that he is not a scholar. He had also challenged Premanand Maharaj to speak Sanskrit. Many prominent saints have strongly objected to this statement and have called it harmful to the unity of Sanatan Dharma. Such comments not only give rise to unnecessary controversy but also have a negative impact on the society, especially the younger generation, the seers said. Ananta Shri Vibhushit Mahamandaleshwar Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati of Shri Panchayati Akhara said that Swami Rambhadracharya always makes controversial statements, which has become a habit for him. "Such comments should be avoided. If the criterion of erudition is only the meaning of the verse, then in our Sanatan tradition there have been many great men who did not take formal education, yet they gave disciples like Swami Vivekananda. Citing the example of Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham, Swami Chidambarananda said that a person is identified by his actions, conduct and temperament and not by classical knowledge alone. Appreciating the work of Premanand, he said that he is giving the message of simple life to the society, which should be given importance. Request Rambhadracharya to refrain from such nonsensical comments. Swami Gopalacharya Maharaj, president of the Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti, Rishikesh, also spoke on the issue. He said that Sanatan Dharma has always flourished under the guidance of saints, but when one saint casts aspersions on another saint, it creates doubts in the minds of the younger generation. "The youth take inspiration from the discourses of saints and bring a change in their lives. If the disintegration is seen among the saints, it will have an impact on the youth. Citing examples of saints like Surdas and Meerabai, he said many great saints guided the society without any formal education. Mirabai glorified Sanatan Dharma with her devotion to God, yet she was not a scholar of Sanskrit.
