A section of the Hindu community has opened up a front against those preachers who are allegedly desecrating the “Vyas Peeth (preacher’s seat),” by encouraging people towards Islamic beliefs and ideas. The entire matter came into light after video of one female preacher named Devi Chitralekha ji went viral in which could be heard asking her audience to “bow before Allah,” as a sign of respect for other religions.
Shame on you @DeviChitralekha https://t.co/vpA4Cl0kkJ

Following this, videos of other preachers including famous “Ram Katha” reciter Morari Bapu also emerged. In one of the videos Morari Bapu could be seen singing a secular Bhajan containing repetitive lines of “Maula Ali.” While in another video the senior preacher is seen justifying his secular bhajan saying, “Ali maula comes from within, it is not that I’m singing purposefully to please anyone.” In yet another video, he can be seen chanting “Allah hoo.”

जिस बजरंगबली जी को अपना गुरु मानने का ढोंग करते हैं और अपने आप को मोरारी बापू कहते हैं
वो कोई और नहीं बल्कि देश में हो रहे धर्मांतरण के जिम्मेदार ये भी हैं
जो बात ये इतने फक्र से बोल रहे हैं मुझे एक भी मस्जिद से रघुपति राघव राजा राम का भजन कीर्तन करवा के दिखा दे@HinduTempleLive pic.twitter.com/vme9pIhGH2— सनातन मंदिर एवं ज्ञान दर्शन (@HinduTempleLive) May 15, 2020

Hindus have accused such antics to be an attempt at secularising Hindu religious institutions and teachings.
He is "Morari Bapu" one of the well known Katha-kar from Gujarat.
And such fools are utilized by anti-Hindu ppl to keep Hindus sedated with secularism drugs.
100% guaranteed the audience is 99.99% Hindu, you won't find single Muslim or Chrstian there other than audio setup ppl.— 🛕કિંજલ પટેલ किंजल पटेल Kinjal Patel🛕 (@kinjalpatelguj) May 17, 2020
Morari Bapu doesn't seem to have political ambitions, if he had, he would have entered in politics long time ago..
Don't understand his "secular" preachings from Vyaas pith…

Devi Chitralekha, tender your apology immediately, otherwise, quit Bhagwat Katha vaachan.

Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati, the Mahamandaleshwar of Shri Panchayati Akhara Mahanirvani has declared that all the bona-fide clerics and religious figures of Hinduism would boycott such preachers who are tarnishing the purity of a sacrosanct institution like Vyas Peeth.
