‘Would there be controversy if Mamta had accepted Islam?’ said Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi

Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi, Mamta Kulkarni

Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi said that Mamta has been taking initiation while following Sanatan Dharma for years. She is still the Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. According to Lakshmi, this matter was blown out of proportion and said that if she had stopped being a Sadhvi and accepted Islam, what would those who were creating controversy have done?

Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni took initiation with full rituals in the Maha Kumbh held in Prayagraj and was made the Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. Pinddaan was done and Pattabhishek was done, after which she was given the name of Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri. However, there was a lot of controversy on this and she also resigned.

But her resignation was not accepted. After all the controversies, Mahamandaleshwar Laxmi Narayan Tripathi of Kinnar Akhara spoke openly on this whole matter… Expressing her opinion, Laxmi told in a podcast that Mamta has been taking initiation by following Sanatan Dharma for years. She is still the Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. According to Laxmi, this matter was unnecessarily blown out of proportion and said that if she had stopped being a Sadhvi and embraced Islam, what would those who were creating controversy have done?

Lakshmi explained everything

Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi said that she is Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri. When she had kept herself away from the mainstream society for 23 years, she was in touch with me for two and a half to three years. She was telling me all her traditions. She was also initiated by the Swami of Juna Akhara. When she came to Kumbh, we talked, the next day was Friday, so she said that what could be a better day than that an Ardhanarishwar does my Pattabhishek and I become Mahamandaleshwar. I should completely dedicate myself to the work of Sanatan Dharma. So his idea was good, we did it.

While clarifying the criteria to become Mahamandleshwar, Lakshmi said that ‘she was already a Sadhak. She has studied so much, has done Mantra Jaap, everything.’ While clarifying Mamta Kulkarni’s relationship with Abu Salem and other controversies, she said that ‘we knew everything. But all her cases are over. Her name was cleared. All the red corners were out. So why should we despise the one who came to take refuge in Sanatan Dharma. If this Mamta ji had accepted Islam and had gone to Haj-Medina, then what could these Sanatanis have done so much opposition.’

Filed a defamation claim

Lakshmi further said that we had already said goodbye to Rishi Ajay Ajay Das. Due to his misdeeds, we had already shown him the way out. We have filed a defamation suit against her and a so-called Jagatguru. Mamta came under so much pressure that why should our Guru have so much trouble because of me, so she resigned, but we did not accept it. Mamta is a very composed and good person.

It is worth mentioning that Mamta had adopted the path of spirituality since 1996, and was into devotion. She claims that she has been living the life of a Sadhvi for 12 years.
